Leeds Unitedâs goalkeeping troubles have been well documented in recent weeks, with Andy Lonergan replacing Felix Wiedwald as Thomas Christiansenâs first choice goalkeeper in early October, after the German 'keeperâs performances were widely criticised.
A change in goalkeeper has not stopped Leedsâ slide down the Sky Bet Championship table, with Lonergan making two crucial mistakes in last nightâs 3-1 defeat to Brentford, which was Leedsâ seventh loss in nine Championship fixtures.
Lonergan dropped a hanging cross early in the first-half last night, which allowed Neal Maupay to head Brentford into the lead, before the goalkeeper failed to make a routine block to prevent Yoann Barbetâs free-kick putting the Bees back ahead after Ezgjan Alioskiâs equaliser.
The 34-year-oldâs place in Christiansenâs starting XI is now under threat, with sections of Leedsâ supporters extremely critical of the goalkeeperâs performance and calling for Wiedwald to return to the side.
Here is some reaction to Lonerganâs performanceâ¦
