Leeds United suffered a third successive Championship defeat on Saturday by losing 1-0 to Reading at Elland Road.

The honeymoon period is certainly over for head coach Thomas Christiansen who now has to stem the tide of hugely-disappointing performances.

This defeat came on the back of a horrendous showing at Sheffield Wednesday before the international break and Christiansen needs to change things up.

The 44-year-old made a big decision by replacing under-fire goalkeeper Felix Wiedwald with Andy Lonergan against Reading and it paid off, with the former Wolves man looking a far more assured figure between the sticks.

The 21-year-old midfielder has come in for criticism from Leeds fans over the past few weeks.
