Jesse Marsch had a smile on his face as he acknowledged the home support following Leeds United’s 0-0 draw with Brentford on Sunday afternoon. The expression was a clear indication about what he thought of his side’s display against the Bees and afterwards he spoke of the progress he and many others saw.
It was a frustrating result as the Whites prolonged their winless run in the Premier League to six games and failed to make the most of the opportunity to move three points clear of the drop zone. But, there were definitely signs in the performance to suggest Leeds are capable of turning their form around and picking up a few crucial wins over the coming weeks as the table comes into focus.
Leeds have reached the halfway stage of their campaign, with 19 games played and 19 to play, and that means the business end of the season isn’t far away. As such, Marsch will know the emphasis simply must be on results if United are to avoid taking part in another gruelling and demanding battle against the drop.
