Didn't expect much from this game, yet chelski didn't kill us off by adding to their 2 goals, so we remained in the game till the end. Swap Tammy for Wes in this game and maybe we could have been the victors. For me Engels needs to return Sunday, as does Guilbert (no offence to Elmo or Konsa). At best Luiz and Trez are impact subs only. Reading some of the comments on here, it seems some posters can't wait to have a pop at their favourite scapegoat. As for the comment and endorsements that we should have made a substitution at half time after probably our best spell in the game, and 4+ minutes after scoring and getting back into it...really?This game won't define our season, onwards to Sunday and the upcoming run of games against lowly teams. UTV!
Their squad worth about four times ours.Their trophy count significantly higher. They've been in the top reaches of the league for years and won the Champions League only We've just been promoted having been in the championship and before that having circled the Premier League plughole for half a decade. They won the league as recently as 2017 and the Europa League last season. It's the reality, we're going to have bad days, and this is precisely the sort of team it's likely to happen against. I was flat watching it, as it didn't look like we'd get anything from the game. However xwe hung in there and didn't get hammered (score wise).Onwards.

We came to play Not sure about thatThe first part is an exaggeration, sure. Particularly when you remove the rest of the original post which offers my reasons for saying this. But the second part stands. We came to play. They were cynical and full of niggle. Have no idea how you can come to that conclusion. They had 66% possession and 17 shots, 11 on target. We were crap and totally outplayed.

Until he popped up with the equaliser I genuinely didn't know Trez was playing.
