Leeds United fans draw positives from Jesse Marsch's first match despite narrow defeat

Leeds United supporters largely agreed that their side put in an encouraging performance in Jesse Marsch's first match in charge, despite a narrow 1-0 defeat to Leicester City.

Marsch made two changes to the Leeds starting XI from Marcelo Bielsa's fine line-up, with Mateusz Klich and Rodrigo replacing the Adam Forshaw and the injured Diego Llorente, while Patrick Bamford was named on the bench after injury ruled him out of 20 of Leeds' last 21 matches.

After conceding 20 goals in their past five matches, Leeds did a good job in restricting the hosts' chances before the break, and after some late Whites pressure before the break, the two sides went in level at half-time.
