    Another belter RTB thanks again !
    Tough game this, Chelsea are very strong at home, 5 at the back has to be the way for these types of games but I trust RLB knows best.
    Going for a 2-0 defeat, I would leave Rigg out for this one and maybe shore up the midfield with Geertruida perhaps stepping in, he deserves his chance.

    1-1, going to be a real test but I reckon the lads are more than capable of getting a point.

    Spurs, Liverpool and Chelsea have all lost at home this season so why not mate ...

    ... Chelsea lost 3-1 at home to Brighton so no reason we can't have a go at them.

    We'll be playing on the break so should get enough opportunities from corners and breakaways to have a chance.

    I'm seeing a red card and a penalty <laugh>

    that was a mental match. Just imagine…

    as long as our set up is right from the off, we have a decent chance of grinding out a draw. Hope they scored their quota of goals for the week in their European game

    Cheers RTB, belter as always.

    I dont think Chelsea have been very good so far. Mind I said that about Man Utd. We need to focus on ourselves and not the opposition. Something Regis seems more than happy doing.

    Stick with the best formation. Geertruide in for Alderete I guess. Regis seems to see him as a CB. Xhaka and Sadiki need to be really smart on the ball. Talbi Rigg and Le Fee. Stick with Isidor up top, seems to get better with each game at the minute.

    Nowt to fear. Too many teams fear some games and think they are a free hit. Bad mentality. Points to be earned every week for me.

    1-1. Isidor.

    Theres always a chance, I don't agree with Regis when he says he sees Geertruida as a centre half - I'm not actually sure he agrees with himself since he continues to play him as a wingback.

    I don't think he sees players as being right for only one position or formation tbh ...

    ... everyone needs to be adaptable, to a degree, because of how we set up.
