Leeds United vs Brentford: Jesse Marsch's pre-match press conference as Rutter speaks for first time

I mean, they a few of them came. couple came together a couple came separately, wasn't like they they went out of their way to make a huge statement. but we're we we interact here constantly as if we we are teammates, right? this is how we work. We support each other always.

Joe Gelhardt is still in the building. He trained today.

I think my goal with young players is to help accelerate their learning curve and I find that once it clicks a little bit where they kind of make the sharp upturn in performance, that then they're in a position where they can they can sustain a lot of the things that they've learned.

Obviously, trying to manage physically and now what the game with the matches are like, you know, this is one of the things about being on top of the match from the beginning for Cardiff that was so important as then we could give Willy a little bit more rest Tyler Adams a little bit more rest.

I think it's made it easier for Andrea and Victor and Angus to manage the market without me talking about it every press conference, and I think it also keeps my focus in our team's focus squarely on exactly the task at hand with what's important for our team from match to match so that's been the strategy behind that

We didn’t wanted to lose Max Dean but obviously given the opportunity that he could have, we all were excited to try to help Jacko as well. So we have to think selfishly but obviously Jacko feels like he's someone who's inside the family. So it made sense from all angles, I think to move move Max to MK Dons

I can be criticised for a lot of things. right? and it's not like you just went on results and that's what the discussion has been is, is that the results haven't been good enough, that's enough fodder. I don't think anyone needs to try to invent anything else

Sorry, I didn't mention Adam. Adam will not be in [the squad]. That's another one. But Max will be ready, he trained today

I like to use the word weapons when I describe players I like players who have weapons, And now we have an arsenal of attacking players who have real weapons who are are fast or clever or have talent have technical ability and intelligence

They're very clear on who they want to be. And, you know, today was a day where we focused almost entirely on set plays, so we know that will be massively important on Sunday.
