Ok, I don't think any game in August is must win but I do think Swansea is the closest thing to it!
It's still early days but they could become the Norwich of this year, not really fancied at the start but playing some really nice football and scoring lots of goals without letting many in.
Also psychologically, a draw or win for them will allow them to steal the limelight for the first month, take the edge of our start and give them team and manager of the month, the latter of which he might get anyway even if we win!
Given last year, at Elland road, we lost to Norwich, Sheffield Utd, in the important game, Derby and drew with Swansea, it would be progress this year to show we can beat more of the high flyers at home.
Tough game to predict, both sides like a lot of the ball, interesting who gets it. Should be goals, 2-1 to us, but not easy.

Meant to say drew with Villa!

it will be tough they are playing great stuff but then we can play good stuff to, last year against the good sides we either took them apart or fell apart and was very hit and miss. Swans I think was first points dropped last year after their arial bombardment and us having two right backs as centrebacks so at least we are no longer doing that and have learnt our lesson
I would take a loss tomorrow if we could grantee winning the return leg as for some reason it means more second half of the season
as for predictions it reall could go either way i can see us losing 4-0 i can see us winning 4-0 so i will go for repeate of last year 2-2.

I dunno.
I got a sneaky we will outclass them 3-1 and go on to win the rest of the games this season.
Are we that good?
Maybe.
Saturday is day 1. Let’s go.

win every game this season. no chance, nothing aginst leeds but this league is a slog I don't even know if city would go underfeated in our league. ok they play football but could they cope with a cold tuesday night in stoke?

First goal tomorrow could be important. Feel like if we get it we could go on to win quite well, say 3-1.

Like a joke bw.
You really think city wouldn’t thump this lot?
Day in day out mate. A b or c team.

Ausman is far too positive this season. Has he been hacked? But I agree will his hopes. âš½ï¸âš½ï¸ðŸ‘ðŸ‘😂😂.

no city was a joke that's why i refferanced stoke. i think my nan could get together a team that could beat stoke at the moment.

Aye Berms, it says a lot about how hard the Championship is, when a team comes down from Prem, is predicted to go straight back up automatic, but a season later is bottom after five games despite player quality and parachute payments etc. A superb division.

agree tory of course the top clubs would walk this league (look how well wolves have done in prem) but i think most teams in the bottom half of prem would not find this league plain saling and most teams in playoffs could make a fist of the prem.
