If that's true then Coops might have to reconsider his gameplan.I read Leeds conceded just 1 goal from a counter attack last season, that is insane.

Reading their forums they tend to play 5 across the back.I read Leeds conceded just 1 goal from a counter attack last season, that is insane.
They play Bielsa's beloved 4-1-4-1, when defending it becomes 5-4-1, when attacking 2-1-4-3 or 3-4-3.Reading their forums they tend to play 5 across the back.
Well that’s awful - they really are a scourge - hive our lovely little country a bad nameI would normally go to one of the bars to watch the game if it was later in the year,but I'll be watching from my lounge with a cold beer, as there are still a fair amount of scummers about.
I think I mentioned this before, I have 'The Swan Bar' close by, it used to be draped in Swans shirts, scarves,caps, etc. a gang of scum wrecked the place. Now you can't hang anything, the bars insurers have written it into the policy.
No .... they have to make sure they are extra good to stop us. They are at home. The pressure is on them to attack and beat us ... we start off on the front and press them high, they'll never get into the game.If that's true then Coops might have to reconsider his gameplan.

Me too!!Not funny at all. That’s how I passed.
I think that’s the only way Don A could pass too.Me too!!
Aye, he was terrible wasn't he? He always travelled in the minibus to away games. He wouldn't come in the car with me and Ivor. Said he was too frightened by the speeds I used to drive. Thing is, we often had people like Herbie (worked in a local mine) whose shift didn't finish in time for them to make the team bus. I always left last to pick up these guys, usually from the cafe near Ponty square, but it meant a VERY fast drive to catch up with the bus. Do you remember Barry Pierrepoint? Nice guy and a tidy footballer as well. On one occasion we had picked him up and were heading towards the old Glynneath bank at a real rate of knots. Anyway, Herbie was in the back with Baz and started cackling like a fiend. I looked in the mirror and saw Baz leaning forward, eyes riveted on the speedometer with horror etched in every line on his face. Thing is, he had put a cigarette in his mouth ready to light it and was so upset, he'd put another one in his mouth having forgotten about the first one!! Talk about a shower of sparks when he tried to light up. So many great stories about those days. I might write a book about them, not to publish but as a reminder of some memorable times and fabulous characters.I think that’s the only way Don A could pass too.
