if, and a big if, we can win this - it would make things very interesting.  we would be right in the mix

Who is Wright on the bench? Guessing a youth team goalie?
Tell you who is wrong on the bench and it's Chambers instead of a youngster.

Nah, Chambers is a handy option if we’re hanging on with a few a minutes to go.

Yes the 4 above us (and the opponents today) results couldn't have gone better.

So it’s Cucerella and James in a 3 at the back. Interesting

Watching then build up on Sky.
Lee Hendrie (who I like) talking absolute bollocks. I don’t think he has actually watched us play recently.

Like the line-up, would be a massive win if we can do it. COYL

The Dutch guy on telly is saying it's because he's worried about the 3 Villa forwards but it's back 4 really.

Hope Kamara is fit enough to slot back in.

Chelsea are a bit hit and miss recently, but we won't be able to carry someone off the pace in the centre of the park. Buendia seems to play better coming off the bench. Bailey can have no complaints though.

I missed what he said but he's been on commentary in some of our recent matches.

Don’t understand either Lee or JFH comments regarding our set up,
