Norwich boss Smith: We can't second guess Marsch changes at Leeds

Norwich City boss Dean Smith says they must fully focus on their own jobs, rather than worry about what changes new Leeds United boss Jesse Marsch will bring to Elland Road.

The Canaries head to West Yorkshire looking to build on some momentum from a spirited second-half display in the 3-1 defeat by Chelsea on Thursday night and breathe fresh life into fast-fading hopes of staying up.

Leeds, meanwhile, are aiming to halt a run of six straight league defeats which has left them just two points above the drop zone and seen American Marsch replace Marcelo Bielsa.

“He has only had two games in charge, so will be getting little messages across to the team in terms of what he needs," Smith said.

“But the key for us is concentrating on ourselves rather than the opposition and making sure that we put in the kind of performance which we did in the second half against Chelsea."

Smith added: “What is moving in the right direction is the quality of chances that we are creating and we should be taking more of those."
