Det bor fort en trener i Adam:
Marcelo Bielsa was not one for coming out on the pitch pre-match, let alone chatting with his players individually in front of everyone. Jesse Marsch was out there with the group, but then stood with Adam Forshaw for more than 20 minutes on the field.
The pair were chatting, Marsch later revealed, about the sport, the future and the Leeds plan. They were out there for long after everyone else had returned to the dressing room in what we would later learn was the first clue Forshaw would be missing from the matchday squad.

You had what must have been a 15-minute conversation with Adam Forshaw before kick-off, he wasn't involved at all today, what can you say about that?
That conversation was just about our team, how we're doing, where we're going, what our goals are, how to get there. Adam's a very intelligent person and he's a student of the game so he's fun to have some of those football conversations with and he was injured on the day but he still knows that he's very important for us and we're all getting to know each other more and more. I think there's clearly some really good relationships already established within the group and I'm just trying to bring my ideas of football and my ways of thinking about how to lead and help all of our guys be the best that they can be, and they've all responded really well to that.
