Chelsea (A) build up thread

[Deutsch Wolf]

Thanks for motivating us all pre-game with that inspiring catalogue of mediocrity and failure!

It's just to illustrate that "new manager bounce" isn't really a thing. Although I do like looking back at how rubbish we were

Look at BFS, 22 goals conceded in 7 games, and this is a guy whose one single attribute is supposed to be getting a team nice and solid at the back! (Yes, I am well aware they beat us, that's not really relevant. In fact reflects badly on them that even in our rank form we scored two and should have scored more)

 

[Law's Bus]

Lee - won 6-1 at Bristol City!

Wasn't that the David Connolly hat-trick game (after genuinely looking like he'd never score for us), and the Wolfie v The Three Pigs episode?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Was indeed. And four goals for D-Con.

I rather liked him, I less liked our tendency to hoof the ball at him when he was about as tall as Jamie Cullum.

Was also our first win after conceding first for about three years. We never did it under McGhee. Not once. Seriously.

 

[YoungWolf]

Apparently they are going to play a back three. Good job they just got rid of Tomori..

 

[northfield wolf]

What would i give just for a point, it seems we have been suck on 22 points for ages.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

We've had two league games since we hit 22 points.

 

[northfield wolf]

I would swap those cup wins for wins in the league.

 

[northfield wolf]

Is Podence in the squad for tonight ? That would give us a boost.

 

[Kenny]

Didn't mention him yesterday in the press conference (or no journo reported it) so no clue but he was out doing fitness work last week so not a big jump to him returning to full training this week

 

[PuntsWolf]

Do we even know what his injury was? Assume was an impact injury when he got kicked (then went anonymous) at Utd.

Month seems a long time for a “? bruised calf”.

 

[YoungWolf]

Also sounds like Hudson-Odoi will start. So assume it's a 3-4-3 for them

A very badly bruised calf...

A very badly bruised calf...

Cast would be coming off next week for a broken leg!

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Just a reminder that we didn't even get a free kick for that. Great refereeing.

[Deutsch Wolf]

Do not want.

 

[Tony Towner]

Ah the false 9 and it's 100% track record of failure. Has Saiss been identified as being in close contact with MGW or is it an injury I missed?

If true it’s better if Podence played behind Traore and Neto for me.

A very very very very badly bruised calf then. A bit like when Kevin Keegan said cramp was worse than a broken bone
