The Official Swansea City vs Leeds United Match Thread

[Bridgendjack]

Leeds haven’t beaten a Welsh Team this season so let’s make sure this record remains !!

 

[Jackfath]

Let's get into them. We have nothing to lose with this match. Would have been great down there today!

 

[Ringwood Jack]

5-3-2 please

No Routledge ..

Like to see VDH Guehi and Cabango playing with Naugton and Roberts as wingbacks

 

[MrSwerve]

Would take a point if offered now. Hope we do take the game to them though, rather than setting up defensively inviting pressure for 90 mins...hoping to cling on for a point. I kind of suspect this is how it will go, but who knows.

You know what we're like. Lose to Luton at home, thrash Leeds at home.

Totally agree, I'd take the point. 3 would be a bonus.

 

[Cooperman]

An unchanged line up which presumably means an unchanged system and a continuation of Naughton in a back three. VdH still benched.

 

[Builthjack]

I thought VDH would be needed for this one. Cooper, prove me wrong please.

I thought the same. If he's not completely match fit then why did he not get any game time at Birmingham?

I don't think this is going to be an easy watch. They have pace and passing skill. If we hoof it back to them and give them time on the ball to build (and we are going to, aren't we?) then it's going to be a long old day.

Bidwell and Gallagher can't be as crap as they were on Wednesday again surely to god. I'd love us to actually put on an assertive performance and kick them up the arse, but I'm not really channelling my inner optimist.

Is anyone genuinely optimistic (not Boris bluster shit)?

Yep, I fear that we're going to be defensive from kick off. Ball to Woodman, Woodman tries to distribute to centre defence, gets the ball back because of Leeds' high press, hoofs it, Leeds get possession back...rinse and repeat.

I kind of wouldn't blame Cooper for setting up for a point in this one, it's just that this is how we set up against teams in the bottom third, too.

 

[Badlands]

Can't believe MVdH isn't playing if he's fit!

On the contrary I cannot see Leeds coming to park the bus. We find it extremely difficult to break teams down when they do this so a more open opponent may work in our favour. We're about to find out anyway.

Minute silence, applause, taking the knee.

We may get kick off before 2.

This taking a knee is now fućking nonsense.
