It's Your Round Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 The Chelsea fans are even more despondent, the majority on their forum are not optimistic at all. Some seeing a draw against Villa as a win, and mostly complementary of our ability to score goals. Which is a massive plus for us, we are as close to guaranteed goals. If only we can start keeping them out! I’d settle for a draw but I’m hoping we can learn some defensive lessons and take our chances to catch Chelsea cold and get the points. It would be nice to keep pace with the top 7 while we find our best form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s always someone in a worse position, some people have BCFC tattoos for example. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple of busted ribs and cuts and bruises, wear a helmet kids, I have a very clear memory of contacting the ground whilst upside down Whereas having a bcfc tattoo makes you a massive helmet. Fine lines. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you suggesting I don’t post my opinions on a forum designed for people to post their opinions? If you don’t like it, move past it surely. You don’t have to respond to it. And they aren’t all negative anyway. I’m very positive about this current team. Maybe ask me what my true opinions are rather than just picking up on my reactionary posts. (Which admittedly I do sometimes post for the lols depending on how the thread is going). Edited September 23, 2023 by Tayls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to answer for Steero, he'll have his own thoughts, but I've thought similar, often seems like we're only a bad result away from you thinking we're doomed, I'm sure you were talking about the relegation zone a couple of games ago. You're obviously free to post whatever you like within the forum rules but things are currently as good for the club as they've been for at least 15 years, so if you're still constantly doom and gloom, and you're not getting anything positive out of it, it might be time to take a break from it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t stand it when it we lose. Can’t stand it when a player doesn’t look bothered (Kamara over the past few games, not just one - rumours are he wanted to leave over the summer). I’ve very little patience for it now. Yes I did joke about relegation after the Newcastle defeat, although saying that I thought we looked absolutely dreadful…in fact I still believe we look poor… Newcastle, Liverpool and Legia have uncovered a number of issues, In my opinion.

duke313 Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 So far this season we’ve bounced back with wins after we’ve been beaten. Don’t see why we can’t do that again. Chelsea are terrible, they’ve only beaten Luton this season. We’ve nothing to be afraid of playing them, they’re shit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 (edited) Chelsea have only scored something like 5 goals across 5 games and 3 of them were against Luton. Somehow Jackson has an xG of 3 or 4 but only scored once so they are creating chances. Edited September 23, 2023 by AshVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 We could really do with an early goal tomorrow, get their fans on their backs and put the momentum in our favour. We always seem to do well in those circumstances. I fear it Chelsea score early then they’ll suddenly find masses of confidence and go on to batter us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferguson1 Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 I reckon Ramsey will start tomorrow. We’ve really been missing his drive and energy. Be good to have him tracking Sterling as well when Digne loses him on his blind side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be, but he was fit throughout the summer until his injury and he got 30 minutes on Thursday. I reckon we could get 60 minutes out of him. I’m worried about Digne being left exposed.

We always seem to do well in those circumstances. I fear it Chelsea score early then they’ll suddenly find masses of confidence and go on to batter us. Well we've started ridiculously slow at all of Newcastle, Liverpool and and Warsaw so you'd think we'd be ultra focused tomorrow even if it's a case of extreme low block and just get to 0-0 at half time and take things from there. Forest did exactly that and got a reasonably comfortable 1-0 in the end. I keep referencing Spurs away when I think of us in the early days under UE. First half we barely crossed the halfway line but Spurs didn't do much either and then we lifted the tempo start of second and came away with a very comfortable 2-0 in the end. Exact template is needed tomorrow rather than pushing FBs miles up the pitch early on and leaving endless space for someone like Sterling to run into. Emery is world class coach as we all know so I just can't believe he'll be setting us up in that way. It will be handbrake on and see what we can create on the break. If we get a draw its 10 points from first 6 so we're on course for another 60 + point season so it's really no disaster. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
