Thought I had read that Bent was injured and not playing.  May be wrong though.

If we can keep the same team as yesterday that will boost confidence and should see us get another hard fought victory.

However they will not be easy and I hope the crowd get behind the lads and not on their backs!

I think we'll nick this 2-1. Lee Cattermole is injured, so this represents a big loss in midfield for them.

You're right, Bent is doubtful with an eye injury and Wellbeck is also doubtful with a knee injury - add to that Cattermole is definitely out and they look a bit weak.

It will be very interesting as to how the players and managers respond to this one.

There is a hell of a lot more pressure on this game than there was yesterday.

We must win this game to push on and drag ourselves out of the quagmire.

I think we will too, 3-1 to the home side. If we can score three against Chelsea maybe we have the firepower afterall to win games like these.

Yesterday's result will have given players & us a massive lift-

Brucie's team aren't too hot on their travels but current form is good-

Talisman Emile to score again (why not) and a clean sheet will do me-

Must win game.  Another decent performance and a victory and we're on our way back to respectability.  Lose again and the Chelsea result was a false dawn.
