Should Leeds make a goalkeeper change this week?

A general view of Elland Road during the Sky Bet Championship match between Leeds United and Fulham at Elland Road on December 13, 2014 in Leeds, England.

Leeds United’s goalkeeping troubles continued at the weekend when Felix Wiedwald dropped a clanger against Bristol City.

His flap at a corner led to an opening goal from the Robins and Leeds could only manage a 2-2 draw.

The Whites fought back from two goals down and the comeback inspired goalkeeping prospect Bailey Peacoc-Farrell.

Peacock-Farrell made his debut for the club in 2016 but has not featured since.

Injury, a loan spell, and managers not being forward enough to trust the 21-year-old have combined to leave him on the sidelines.

Strictly speaking Peacock-Farrell is third choice, with veteran Andy Lonergan in front of him, but the former Wolves stopper flopped earlier this season when he was given a chance.

Leeds fans are keen for Peacock-Farrell to get an opportunity and were quick to tell him yesterday that they wanted him to start the next game.

Peacock-Farrell could be in consideration too.

He was left out of the under-23s match on Monday despite starting in the previous game.

It would be smart of manager Paul Heckingbottom to consider making a change if his confidence in Wiedwald has gone.
