On first evidence, Javi Gracia is going to use a lighter touch to try to guide Leeds United out of trouble, rather than the super-intensity of Jesse Marsch.
The placid Spaniard bantered with match officials at Elland Road instead of hammering them as his predecessor sometimes did. His policy of calmly praising players was also a contrast to Marsch, who often preferred stress as his fuel.
One win against a poor Southampton team does not confirm Leeds have turned the corner completely, but Gracia's manner on the touchline gives them hope, as does their first league victory since Bonfire Night.
