Nine leads, but only two victories. That’s one of the most damning statistics of Leeds United’s challenging time since Jesse Marsch’s zenith against Chelsea.
Not only have the Whites failed to deliver three points from seven of those leads, but they have also given those advantages up in short order. It feeds into the topics Marsch has raised as causes for concern through this run of two wins in 11.
Of those seven leads which did not result in victories, on average it only took a fraction under nine minutes for the opposition to equalise. Even in the loss to Brentford, when Leeds pegged the match back to 3-2 through Marc Roca, they would fall back to 4-2 in just one minute after Bryan Mbeumo’s strike.
