Leeds United fought back from a goal down to earn a respectable point at Brentford on Tuesday after Kiko Casilla’s goalkeeping error handed the Bees the lead. Fellow promotion hopefuls Nottingham Forest suffered a shock defeat at the hands of Charlton Athletic which means Marcelo Bielsa’s side still ended the night in the second automatic promotion spot.
Although the result was no disaster, the club’s supporters can’t help but be frustrated by the nature of the goal they conceded. Some sections of the fanbase have been calling for Casilla to be dropped for some time now and Bielsa has once again leapt to the defence of the former Real Madrid man in his post-match press conference, but is this the final straw?
Will Kiko Casilla start against Bristol City at the weekend?
Yes
No
Here’s how some of the fans reacted following yet another costly error:
I’ve lost count how many points he has cost us last season and this season

Shocking.

What do we think?
Judging by the responses from these Leeds United supporters, it’s clear that a catalogue of errors has led to them losing faith in the Spaniard and this is not a knee-jerk reaction. The Whites take on Bristol City at the weekend and if Casilla is selected to start, Marcelo Bielsa could be putting himself under additional pressure before the game has even started.
