TIF Thoughts on Dean Jones’ comments…
Marsch came into Leeds with a tough mountain to climb as they are well in the mix of a relegation scrap.
The victory over Norwich was an important one for Marsch, as the three points took Leeds four points away from Watford who sit in 18th place in the Premier League.
Marcelo Bielsa was struggling this season with Leeds but this was largely down to the injury woes that he had with his side. Key players such as Liam Cooper, Kalvin Phillips, and Patrick Bamford have all missed lengthy periods of this season due to injury.
Marsch received a huge boost after Patrick Bamford started his first game since the 17th of September.
To have already had such a memorable moment shows just how much Leeds already appears to mean to him, and who can blame him for saying that after seeing the incredible scenes when Gelhardt knocked the winning goal in.
