Winning is a habit in football. It’s hard to learn and master, but once you have it in your squad, its growth through the entire club can be exponential. Leeds United are in dire need of that winning feeling.
It does not matter if it’s in the FA Cup. It does not matter if it’s a struggling Championship side. It does not matter if it’s a managerless squad. Jesse Marsch has to deliver a victory at Elland Road on Wednesday night.
More than anything else, it simply takes the edge off the current state of affairs at Leeds. Two wins in 17 matches, no matter how invalid Marsch feels that perspective is, is a statistic which needs to be stopped in its tracks.
