Calmness was the critical impact Michael Skubala made on a Leeds United team which was reeling from the part it played in Jesse Marsch’s sacking. The under-21 boss was appointed on a caretaker basis last week and oversaw two promising performances against Manchester United.
Max Wober spoke to the media on Thursday and opened up for the first time on the impact Skubala has made at Thorp Arch since being drafted in. The Austrian defender admits there was a lot of pressure sitting on top of the squad in the aftermath of Marsch’s sacking.
This was a team which was holding itself accountable for performances on the field which did not prove to be good enough to keep the American in a job. The squad was in flux.
