Guest Pedro_de_geordieo Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 The less games we are involved in the less likely we are to suffer injuries. The PL is more important this season. Oh dear, not this again. makes sense to me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 The less games we are involved in the less likely we are to suffer injuries. The PL is more important this season. Oh dear, not this again. makes sense to me FWIW we played 8 league games more last year. So what would be the difference? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbers Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Preston at home. But it'll probably be Chelsea (A). Good call We are such lucky bastards..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Honestly, I would play the kids, if we lose 10-0 w/e, I mean in the end I think it would be a very good experience for the lads to play away to a team full of international players. And honestly, I can't see Carlo putting out a full strength team in the 3rd round. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKSC Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Wonder what the ticket prices will be. I'd like to take my boys along to this as they are Chelsea fans, but I bet it'll be too expensive! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKSC Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 I'll make them sit in the away end, that should keep them quiet. I doubt it will sell out what with it being 300 miles away, in midweek, no doubt over priced, a guaranteed loss and CH will play a weakened side.

Kaizero Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Get the kids in and hope Chelsea play their kids..we might stand a chance. [in the dressing room] Hughton: It's ok lads, Carlo told me they'd play their kids, so you lot, this is a big night in your careers, go out there and... Ancelotti: Erm... Chris. John, Frank and Didier were just passing by and, well, they really fancied a kickabout. Soz'ard. Hughton: D'oh! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
binnsy Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 The Stoke game following the cup tie has too take priority, 3 points over Stoke are more important but if we are injury free with the new additions we could still give them a game(providing they rest the likes of Drogba, Cole, Terry, Essien and Lampard!) KRUL TAVERNIER SOL WILLIAMSON KADAR TAYLOR TIOTE GUTHRIE LUALUA LOVEN SHOLA that still leaves the likes of BEn Arfa, Carroll, Colo, Barton, Nolan, Jose, Jonas, Routledge and possibly Keane with there feet up and rested for the Stoke game on the weekend.

MKSC Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Obviously CH will play a weakened side, but it can't be quite as weakened as the one that played at Accrington, as even against a weaker Chelsea side they'll get the sort of pasting that could be very bad for their confidence. We've got to go in with at least a half strong side, so I guess there will be three or four first choice players and then backups as opposed to the younguns.

Guest Brummiemag Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 I would like us to play our strongest possible team for this and give it a go. Just as important as a league game in my opinion. Chelsea will play a weakened team so we may just have a chance. Would be fantastic to have a good cup run Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This for me with Smith over Tiote and maybe Vuckic off one of the strikers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Got to be a mixture of a few kids who deserve a run out and a few older hands. To play 8 or 9 of the young lads at Stamford Bridge would knock their confidence. I'd go something like: Krul Perch Kadar Campbell Williamson Routledge Smith Tiote Lua Lua Ranger Lovenkrands We'll need all the pace we've got as they're going to dominate possession and we might have to rely on hitting them on the break if we're going to keep it respectable. It's a game where there is absolutley no pressure or expectation and they can go down there and try to enjoy it. It'll be no disgrace to go out to them.

Guest localhero87 Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Bad draw yeah, but Chelsea will rest players...so why not go for it? It would be a superb statement of intent if we went out and beat a team of their stature, irrelevant of what team they fielded. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 What point are you making? By its very nature, a cup competition is very winnable because you don't necessarily have to beat anyone that's any good. Told you so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
