Don't think many will share 'em though.

Vacamion Posted 31 January 2020 Posted 31 January 2020 Just read that Maddison was leading the criticism of Lee Mason on Twitter when Mason was the VAR ref who watched the wrong clip. Mason is the ref on Saturday. Therefore Maddison is a nailed on cert for a 2nd yellow for simulation.

jimsmallman Posted 31 January 2020 Posted 31 January 2020 I'm not looking forward to this. I think it's because Mark Lawrenson has predicted that we'll win. I feel sick.

st albans fox Posted 31 January 2020 Posted 31 January 2020 Tammy Abraham trained today - given they have a break after tomorrow, I expect he will be risked
reynard Posted 31 January 2020 Posted 31 January 2020 Simply a massive game. A win and the cup defeat starts to fade away. Lose and we go inot a two week break stewing over what might have been with no new faces of any quality to give the place a lift. Hope Villa's last minute winner doesn't become the Wycombe moment for this young side. Hard to see past a Chelsea win especially given our record in matches against the top six. They are better away than at home too.
adejo92 Posted 31 January 2020 Posted 31 January 2020 Nah, next points we pick up will be Norwich. We have been poor for a number of games now but have been lucky that a lot of the teams we have played and beat were just a bit worse than ourselves.

Hammo Posted 31 January 2020 Posted 31 January 2020 Strong winds forecast during game tomorrow. 50mph gusts apparently. Hold on to your hats...

Thank heavens you were able to clarify the ramifications of the relative finishing positions in these two tournaments for me. 👍

Beaten West Ham twice and Newcastle, all who were absolute pony. Our last victory against anyone of note is probably late November? Even those victories vs Everton, Watford and Villa came at times when all of them were in horrible nick. We need a performance and a win to further gain momentum and confidence in the league, we have a tough run of fixtures.

I want Kasper to command the box and pass better. I want caglar to be that old fashioned raiding defender, I want Your to show his class with the ball and Madders to be decisive.

StanSP Posted 31 January 2020 Posted 31 January 2020 Been speaking to a few Chelsea fans (regular match-goers) and they've all stated Chelsea struggle defending set-pieces. I think this is somewhere we can and should be targeting tomorrow - especially with the likes of Ndidi, Soyuncu and Evans amongst us. Kepa seems like he has the struggles that we feel Kasper does when it comes to crosses. I feel like we don't utilise our set-pieces enough and can be wasteful from corners (I know we've scored from a few this season but would like to score from more). Whether this is from delivery or execution of chances it's something we can and should improve. We have some very good technical players who can whip in a good delivery so we should be taking advantage of it.
sdb Posted 31 January 2020 Posted 31 January 2020 Why do I have a terrible feeling the atmosphere is gonna be shit despite the absolutely huge opportunity this game presents?
copunk Posted 31 January 2020 Posted 31 January 2020 Have posted in the ticket page but gonna throw it out there on here, but does anyone has a ticket they are selling for this?
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 31 January 2020 Posted 31 January 2020 Can't lose, I think we will though. Love this squad and what we've going but I just don't expect a reaction and think (despite their own troubles) Chelsea will have a little too much for us. It doesn't help that we aren't as tight as we were. Last clean sheet in the league was at St. James on NYD and we've not exactly had the toughest run of fixtures since then. I expect us to need two.

Defiantly not as tight. We’ve been pumbled regulary which has loosened us up for others.
