Leeds United suffered a damaging defeat at the hands of West Brom at the weekend, with the Baggies winning 4-1 at the Hawthorns.

The Peacocks slipped to third in the Championship standings as a result, three points behind new leaders Norwich City and just four ahead of tenth-placed QPR – which suggests a fierce fight for promotion is on the cards this term.

One player who attracted vast criticism after the defeat was goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell, which has led to some suggestions that Marcelo Bielsa needs to make a bold change after the international break to replace the young stopper.

The most obvious alternative is Jamal Blackman, who is spending the season on loan at Elland Road from Premier League giants Chelsea, and some fans have debated whether he should be drafted in for the next game.

While some believe a change is necessary, others are not convinced Blackman is a viable replacement in the squad.

We have gathered some of their reactions below.
