da cassino: Kiko Casilla’s form has been dreadful as of late.
da betobet: The Spaniard has made three huge errors in each of his last three matches, allowing soft goals in against Wigan, Nottingham Forest and Brentford.
It seems as though the Spaniard’s head has gone, and to be fair you can’t really blame him.
Aside from the team falling to bits around him over the past few weeks, the Spaniard has also had to think about the FA charge that still hangs over his head.
The goalkeeper is still yet to discover his fate after being charged back in November, but it could be sealed sooner rather than later, and we now have a bit of insight into what his punishment will be if he’s found guilty.
What’s been said then?
After Casilla’s latest gaffe, fans had questions about when his case would be settled.

Understandably, one supporter asked Phil Hay about it during his post-match Q&A session on The Athletic.
They asked: “Any news on Kiko’s case Phil? Got to wonder if it’s contributing to his loss of form?!”
“Would expect to hear this month. Likely he’ll get six games if the case goes against him,” Hay replied.
Lenient
Six games is the most lenient ban that Casilla could be slapped with if he is found guilty, and that could be good news for Leeds.
Indeed, it was thought at one point that he could be banned for eight to 12 games, but now it seems as though the FA will rule on the lenient side.
Of course, it all depends on how the club want to deal with him internally after fans called for him to be sacked a few months ago, but if they do decide to stand by their player then a six-game ban is the best-case scenario from strictly a footballing standpoint.
As the fan asking the question alludes to, this situation could be messing with the Spaniard’s head, and once it’s resolved he could come back and rediscover the form that saw him concede just 10 goals in 21 league games at the beginning of the season.
In other news, one Sky Sports pundit believes Leeds should be more like Fulham in one area.
