“You have been unplayable at times. You have been outstanding for us this season. You have carried us with having other strikers out injured.
“Our goals conceded has had to be that good with only one striker carrying us.”
He added: “The kid is distraught and he will need some picking up.
“I will continue to give him that unconditional fatherly support I have given all season. He is a young player with immense potential and promise.”
