Fair result.
Thought both sides were lacking certain key players and defensively our boys worked their conkers off. Strange game, because there could have been a fair few goals, had Ireland/ Reo Coker and both sets of woodwork not transpired to get in the way. I thought we showed glimpses of how GH wants us to play, particularly in regards to keeping possession and when we did you could see that it stopped Chelseas freeflowing style.....I expect that to get even better the more the season goes on.
Shame the Hesk never played, because JC looked jaded and disinterested after twenty minutes. He used to hold the ball up brilliantly, but yesterday so many good moves were broke down because he gave the ball away cheaply. I would also have liked to see Albrighton, had he been fit, because Cole was definitely not at his best.
All in all, pleased with the result.
