Leeds United have had two weeks to stew on their last match.
Leeds United defender Pontus Jansson summed up how the team felt after their 1-1 home draw with Brentford.
The Whites were furious with the referee for judging a soft penalty against them which ultimately cost them the win.
A headbutt on winger Ezgjan Alioski going ignored or unpunished did not help.
Usually after a weekend match, Leeds are thrown straight into a midweek fixture, sometimes with under three days to prepare. There is no time to reflect.
This time Leeds have had two weeks to stew on the frustration of their previous result.
A charge from the FA for Pontus Jansson and an EFL panel ruling no offence was committed with Sergi Canos’ headbutt has only added fuel to the fire.
The burning injustice Leeds feel must be channelled positively.
It’s still hanging over Jansson, but are the rest of the team feeling it too?
If they have set it aside, then it’s for the better.
That may not be so easy to do if an early decision goes against Leeds early on, or at a critical point in the game.
Can the team keep their emotions under wraps? Will it help them out, by unifying the team in the face of adversity.
Two weeks of simmering frustrations could ignite. Leeds must make sure that is in the way of a five-star performance, and not an ill-disciplined show.
