Former Leeds United defender Tony Dorigo has given his thoughts on the squad depth Whites manager Jesse Marsch has brought in since replacing Marcelo Bielsa last season and how it's helped Leeds.
Dorigo made 189 appearances for the Whites during the mid-90s, scoring six goals and has praised Marsch on the players he's bought.
Leeds currently find themselves in 11th in the Premier League table but have been plagued by match postponements recently after the Queen's death.

Speaking on the Official Leeds United Podcast, Dorigo spoke about how manager Marsch has fixed the problem of squad depth with the numerous signings he's brought in.
"I think what's clear is we have greater depth, that was a big problem over the last season or two when we did have a few injuries and I don't think we'll have that problem now.
"I think we also should have more competition in each place, no one should be too cosy in their position in the first XI - you also want someone behind them pushing them further all the time and I think slowly but surely we're getting that."
Dorigo then went on to speak about the importance of the scheduled breaks in the season and how they can help bring the entire team up, even if players are away on international duty.
"With the amount of players that have come into the side, it's really impressive how quickly they've settled in so well and played so well. That's why these recent international games are so important because they help the injured players get fit.
"Then all of a sudden, our bench looks pretty good - some players might not even make it to the bench! That's how it should be though, players pushing all the time to get into the first XI and playing at your peak and that is where I think we're at which is good."
