Prove Cagliari demolition was not due to the opposition
The 6-2 thrashing on Sunday put a spring in everyone’s Leeds United step this week, but the one caveat was the quality of the opposition. Premier League top-half outfit Wolverhampton Wanderers will be a far cry from Serie B’s promotion challengers.
Even the most demanding of supporters are not expecting another four-goal winning margin, or six goals, but there is hope and anticipation Jesse Marsch’s tactical imprint will be even clearer on Saturday afternoon. If the fans can just see those patterns of play flourishing again, this pre-season optimism can be sustained for a few weeks longer.
