Leeds United lost to Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium in the Championship on Friday.

Felix Wiedwald of Leeds United looks on during the Sky Bet Championship match between Derby County and Leeds United at iPro Stadium on February 21, 2018 in Derby, England.

Felix Wiedwald is not having a great season on a personal level for Leeds United, and the goalkeeper struggled to play well against Middlesbrough in the Championship on Friday evening.

The 27-year-old goalkeeper was at fault for Middlesbrough’s second goal, as the home team got the better of Leeds 3-0 at the Riverside Stadium.

The former Germany Under-20 looked shaky throughout the 90 minutes, and even former Boro striker Andy Campbell noticed that.

The 38-year-old was following the match, and he has strongly criticised Wiedwald on social networking site Twitter, suggesting that the game against Boro should be the former Werder Bremen goalkeeper’s final game for the Whites.

Leeds fans will be well aware of just how error-prone Wiedwald is, and perhaps it is time for head coach Paul Heckingbottom to take a look at the situation.

The 2017 summer signing will probably remain in goal for the rest of the season, but maybe Leeds should look at signing a better player for the position in the summer of 2018.
