Just playing Devils Advocate here. If we are to lose, who would you prefer it to be against?

Rotherham, potentially damaging our confidence by losing to a perceived weaker team?
Or to a potential promotion rival, a virtual '6 pointer' even this early in the season?

Boro for the first defeat if pushed only because that would mean 6 games undefeated from the start of the season.

So you think we are more likely to not lose in an away game against Swansea City who have had 7 years in the premiership than a home game against Middlesbrough that we won last season?

I think ilkley was just responding to my hypothetical question that if we were to lose 1 game in the next 4, what would your preference be for the reasons given above...

I think the one after those 4 millwall away will be a season definer.... can total football out do championship blood and thunder. I do hope Rotherham give our defence a battering... so Bielsa get a full understanding of our capabilities at centre half whilst he can do something about it!

Playing as we are 4 wins although will be happy with 2 wins 2 draws.

Well I picked us to get between 7-10pts which thankfully we did but the most important thing (or 2 of them) was we are still unbeaten in the league and in those 4 games we actually kept 2 clean sheets which in season's past was a rare thing.
Owners come and go but Leeds United will be there forever, for the fans - keep Marching on Together.
