Meslier or Casilla

Casilla’s ban ends after this game and he is available for the last 3 matches

I say stick with Meslier as changing keeper may upset the balance now plus I remember Casilla in the last few matches last season

What will Bielsa do?

Even if you take away what he was banned for, I still don't see why you would want him in. Nearly ruined our season and if we had a less error prone keeper, we'd be 6 points better off, maybe more as we may have gone on to win the games he let the first goal in.

Around the turn of the year, the first goals against Sheff Wed, Wigan, Forest and Brentford were all direct mistakes from him. Cardiff draw was a mistake from him a 3-0 to let them back in the game. He did the same against Birmingham but team bailed him out. And Charlton away, the goal was his mistake.

Meslier in comparison arguably could have done better on Cardiff goals, maybe the freekick. But not let us down with the sort of errors Kiko was letting in every game.

Kiko is a clown. Keep him out. Sell him when season finished .... always finds a new way to fekk up when things are going smoothly

I presume we're still paying him that outrageous 35k a week? He'll be difficult to offload even at a half-decent price which means I also presume we'll lose a shedload of money on him.

Toast, charred to a crisp.

easy......'meslier' he is solid atm, young, can only get better. casilla is ok but ok is not good enough, has been dodgy, paying way too much, get rid.

Meslier, Kiko has let himself down in more ways than enough!..

You don't change a winning team

A shout for Illyan Meslier today - played really well, caught and punched well enough, made a couple of good saves and his distribution was generally pretty accurate.

I never felt he was dodgy at all - he seems to be growing into his role. I also like the fact that he wears the no1 jersey.

8 games and 5 clean sheets.

I cant say I've been overly impressed with him but the stats are certainly in his favour.

Like I said, I dont want casilla in a leeds shirt again, and if it's not totally broke, or at least working well enough, then dont go about trying to fix it when we are so very close to the finishing line
