While Leeds United supporters and the national media have been pointing to the benefits that can come from opting to play with width at Leeds United, one of the key players in that approach has been highlighting the significance of Javi Gracia's arrival as head coach.
Jack Harrison played a starring role on Tuesday evening as Leeds picked up three precious points with a potentially critical victory over Nottingham Forest at Elland Road. It was a result that has restored further faith in the Premier League relegation fight, with another huge day coming on Sunday when the Whites host Crystal Palace.
Ahead of that game, Harrison has been highlighting the difference the new Leeds head coach has made since succeeding Jesse Marsch, with the Spaniard boasting an impressive three wins and a draw from his six games in charge.

Speaking to LUTV, Harrison said; “He’s come in and been like a breath of fresh air. Tactically, he's been a bit more organised in a different way.
"He focuses on details, he’s really detail-orientated. With him coming in, with that style of play and methodology at this point of the season has been really important for us.”
Harrison is one player revelling in the new approach and he'll be hopeful of repeating the performance against Palace this Sunday. reflecting further on the win over Forest, he added; "It's a fantastic result for us. Everyone has seen the table and against these teams every point matters. To come away with three points was massive for us, and at home with all the fans, it was a brilliant atmosphere. and it made it really tough for them..
"I was lucky to be in the right place at the right time. I need to take up a bit more responsibility in these moments and try to create more goals and assists."
