Not PL quality I wouldn't say, but then Wilder does tend to do a great job elevating players.
Some of our fans didn't rate him even at this level. Thought that was harsh, always looked a good Championship player in there and he's proven that at QPR, he just lost confidence after a slow start...
305-8 in the end. Kinda like India in that it feels disappointing given how well we started but still feels like a good score given how much the pitch seemed to stick at the end.
Plunkett will get wickets on here mark my words
Oh it wouldn't last forever sure but he'd get a hell of a lot more slack than Sarri ever did. Plus he'd have an awful lot more power and respect in the dressing room just because of who he is and his status with the club, kinda like Zidane at Madrid. Which is also something Chelsea really need...
See if you're still saying that if we end up in a promotion battle! :lol:
Tbh I don't mind you lot as much as most, want to beat you more than your average game obviously but not too fussed about your results otherwise. Should be a fun couple games next year, chuck Swansea in there as well and...
Few decent young players there. You guys will be right up there again I reckon (he says through gritted teeth).
Think Reid will be more of a regular for you this season? Seemed to do alright in the Prem when he played from what little I saw, just didn't get many minutes.
Would've agreed with all this a few months ago but kinda feel like it may be a case of the stars aligning to an extent. Hasn't been less expectation at Chelsea in decades, fans crying out for someone to rally behind, big drive to finally let some youth through the door - think he could be the...
May turn out to be a blessing in disguise though. Keeps the stakes up.
If we'd had 3 essentially dead rubbers to end the group stage and then *boom* semi-final... there'd be a danger of running cold
Yeah, but it's also a much better league, where your creative players won't look as good. People always say this kind of thing, very rarely seems to work out in reality.
You conceded rather a lot of goals for a promoted side, against vastly superior attacking quality I'd question whether you'll...
Oh ffs, got tickets for the 4th Day of the first Test of the Ashes at Edgbaston on the Sunday, and of course the 1 game out of 12 that Sky put on that day is...
Not too bothered where we finish at this point, don't think there's a huge amount between any of us really. Us and India maybe a half-tier above but Aus and NZ well capable of beating either on their day
They could offer £30m I still wouldn't sell him. Money's not really the point. We can't lose virtually our entire first choice defence and expect to aim for promotion.
