Jesse Marsch has opened up on the key role the members of his Leeds United leadership council have played over the last few months at Thorp Arch. The head coach put together a leadership group shortly after arriving in West Yorkshire last season and he admits he has felt the need to lean on the six men for help recently.
Skipper Liam Cooper heads up the experienced pack, which also features Luke Ayling, Rodrigo, Patrick Bamford, Stuart Dallas and Adam Forshaw. Unfortunately, all six players involved have struggled with injuries this Premier League season and that has limited their collective impact on the field of play.
However, despite their respective concerns, they have had a vital role to play off the pitch this season. After rounding them up for a meeting in the club’s new training ground press room recently, Marsch called on those involved to help him pull the club out of their eight-game winless streak.
