Chelsea (A) pre match

[Koke]

Winning again at Stamford Bridge like last season maybe? They're not looking too good.

[Pliskin]

Not wanting to get too ahead, but they look really poor. I’d say they don’t look as comfortable as Wolves did today. I’d be expecting we go theirs and take something from the game. 

[moore_94]

4-0 down, they look absolutely shocking

[Fox92]

Honestly I’ll be disappointed if we lose. Go for a point.

[Shane]

We don’t need 2 CDM’s against this lot. They’re so toothless in attack

[NewquayFox]

I think Lampard will beat Solskjaer in the sack race, gone by Christmas... 

[HybridFox]

We have to be looking to beat them. As frustrating as we were today

[Suzie the Fox]

Would be happy with a draw away from home against a top 6 club. But if the players are more upto scratch than they were today and based on Chelsea's performance v Man Utd we could quite conceivably win. 

[Stadt]

They play in the European Super Cup in midweek so that combined with a terrible start against United means that we’ll lose comfortably 

[murphy]

I don't like the fact that they got hammered today.

 

They will be looking for a reaction next week.

Think the fact they're playing midweek won't make any difference. 

 

Wolves showed no real ill effects of their trip this week, and Chelsea outplayed us final game of last season 2 days after going 120 minutes with Frankfurt in the Europa League. 

 

Draw would be a good result. 

[Brooksy]

3-0 to us

Wolves would have beaten us 10-0 if it wasn't for the Europa League.

[FLAN]

We had 1 shot on target today but we can easily turn Chelsea over away from home?

[davieG]

Someone will need to get their shooting boots on because at the moment we're firing blanks.

 

Vardy hardly getting a look in still and the support strikers / AMs are looking toothless.

[Harry96]

No doubt they’ll turn up vs today after that result 

[Silva Fox]

Need a good start, get the fans on their backs.

[TheSomersetFox]

Winnable. Their midfield is class but up top they're really short and their centre halves are bang average. Would take a point now tho

90 minutes into the season and apparently we are struggling. Ffs typical foxes talk comment. 

[sdb]

They'll have a few big names back for next week, Kante included.

Huh! just said we need someone to up their shooting surely a valid point when we've just had one shot on target, so yes we did struggle today to score, elsewhere we were ok. FFS!.

[FoxOfMelton]

Based on how they just played against United, we can definitely do them if we actually take our chances.

[Tuna]

Lampard's homecoming party...lets make sure it's an uncomfortable one for him.

 

Would be delighted to come back from there with a point.

[adejo92]

I don't think too much attention should be paid to Chelsea's defeat today.

 

Whilst admittedly they did look poor overall, they could easily have found themselves ahead from the first half and their woe's all began with Zouma's clumsy tackle - Definitely a player for Vardy to exploit next week.

 

 Chelsea still have a very strong team with Kante likely starting at full fitness next week. I fear that someone like Giroud will exploit us aerially should he play and then the pace of Abraham could well cause us problems should they cut our back line as easily as Wolves did.

 

I have no doubt that Chelsea will be a completely different outfit next week at home to us than they were today away at Old Trafford.

 

With that being said, if we can play a more attacking style of football, and make the very few chances we will get count - We certainly have the ability to come away with some points.

 

 

[Fox_in_a_Box]

If we play 4-3-3 I'd be confident of getting a result. I'm not sold on the weird diamond with two DMs we played today, was no width and we looked much better when Barnes came on.

 

Not sure what BR was thinking tbh.
