Unfortunately I am - don't know if the stewards at the Liberty are amenable to moving people into the Away end. Some grounds they do with little problem (the Ricoh for example), whereas at others (Cardiff are always a pain, unless you've got a child with you) it's a bit of a 'It's more than my job's worth attitude'...……...so we'll see

Training yesterday apparently.
Still worried about our cbs tbh.
It would be nice to have a quality CB but let’s not forget this defence hasn’t conceded from open play in the league, Penalty v Stoke and a free kick v Derby. Yes there was some miscommunication against Rotherham which needed BPF to come to the rescue but on the whole our defence has looked pretty solid.
Can see this being an open game but the way leeds have been playing I can't see us not coming away with three points. We may struggle against teams who have little desire to attack as we saw first half against Rotherham. But Swansea won't sit back and as a result we'll have more room to play. This system will work wonders against teams who attack as those pockets of space open up in the middle for Klich and Saiz. Starts with Kalvin deep. It's tactically brilliant. Loving the Bielsa style. One for the purists.
only conceded 2 goals 1 x penalty 1x free kick which the keeper could have saved , the defence looks solid and the front men are firing on all cylinders im going 2-1 leeds

True.
But we really should have, especially vs Rotherham.
Just dont think going into a season with Coops and Berardi as 2 of our 3 main cbs is smart. Both played very well tbf on the whole, but both we know are very prone to mistakes and poor discipline, think its asking for trouble and our good start shouldnt mask that imo.
We don't yet know how good Shog will be under MB, he should easily be a CB 4 based on an improvement on last season where he was good at times. That gives us 4 first team CB's
