Those two red cards killed us, admits Marsch

JESSE MARSCH has warned his hot-headed players to keep their cool, revealing the club’s owners held a crisis meeting with the team this week. Leeds are in the relegation zone heading into their penultimate match, against Brighton, following three straight defeats. In the most recent losses to Arsenal and Chelsea, Leeds had a man sent off in the opening

half-hour, with Luke Ayling and Dan James guilty of wild tackles. ‘We are aware that killed us and it can’t happen again,’ said manager Marsch. ‘Discipline in these moments is important. We want to be aggressive but not overzealous. We cannot afford any more red cards.’ Marsch has questioned whether his own motivational methods are to blame for getting his teams too pumped up. But he believes the discipline issue is more to do with players being desperate to impress the fans.
