Swansea v Leeds

[jackaway]

Well that’s the International break over and it’s back to the Championship action this weekend.
We were well entertained the last two weeks though.
Wales did us proud, ending up top of the Nations League Group 4 and elevation to League A.
Craig Bellamy’s unbeaten run in charge was extended to 6 games after a hard fought draw in Turkey which culminated in a 4-1 win over Iceland on Tuesday night.
Our own Liam Cullen scored a brace and there was a pretty impressive total of 8 Wales players in the team who had come through the Swans Academy - Cullen, Sheehan, Rodon, Roberts, Davies, James, Cabango and Allen.

Moving on and the squad face another of those gruelling 3 match weeks -

Sun 24 Nov Swansea v Leeds 15:00
Wed 27 Nov Derby v Swansea 20:00
Sat 30 Nov Swans v Portsmouth 15:00

Starting with Leeds, third in the table and only two defeats so far, one of them 1-0 at Millwall last away game. They have a solid defence with just 9 goals conceded in 15 games, mind you we’ve only conceded 10 goals, it’s just that we have a problem scoring them.
Leeds had a lot of player movement in the summer, failing to get promotion after losing to Southampton at Wembley in the play-off final. They sold 8 players worth 162 million pounds and brought in 4 players worth 33 million pounds, plus 4 loanees.
They did the double over us last season, 0-4 at the .com (Piroe, Summerville, Gnonto 2) and 3-1 at Elland Road (Piroe, Rutter, James).
Let’s hope we put on a better show this time, stop Piroe scoring and spoil his day.
