    Anyone expecting us to get the ball down and carve Chelsea open are fooling themselves.

    Our best chance is getting the ball up to Leaburn quickly and playing off him for free kicks and corners. Which is exactly what we’ve been doing.

    Any insights on the Garnacho hate ? Anything to do with the league cup game against Man U a few years back?
    Probably something dumb like the hair.

    The performance is good don't get me wrong, but we don't look like scoring in a month of Sundays.

    If we go all out, we're going to finish 0-3/0-4

    Chelsea player down after Bell turnwd him midway inside our half, he was holding his hip bu the looks of it when he went down.

    We playwd on - as we should - and won a corner.

    When we restart ...
    Are you Welsh  :D
    I think we'd established earlier on that my fingers are bloody freezing!

    I can't be arsed to go back and proofread everything before posting because I still hit the wrong letter in the correction!
     :D I posted earlier on a train & had to go back & edit 3 times & that's without having cold hands, just having a larf mate  :)

    I think I saw Trump, he was saying something about annexing the South Stand to prevent China posing a threat.
    Is there any thread on here that doesn't get Trumped at some point?

    Reckon we should pour forwards and be 4-0 down by 60 minutes.

    He was completely free in the box when it fell to him. He should have been picked up 

    Yeah Gough ran to cover their 40, who doc had covered anyway and left a huge gap. Big shame but still took an outrageous finish to score. We've given a good account of ourselves so far though

    Bree's set pieces are still awful. 

    Needed to close him down for the goal, first time we didn't charge it down and they score. 

    No idea what the tactics are now as it's a winner takes it all game, no use sitting back second half
    Well you do one of two things, go all guns blazing and try to get the equaliser and winner, or you play as we are, continue playing for the one goal and the gamble of penalties. 
    If we do the same thing second half that we did in the first, we can play til February and not score a goal
    We didn't score in that first half so if we do exactly the same in the second half of course we aren't going to bloody score!

    May as well, it's a cup game it's not like GD means anything, and we might be surprised and actually catch them off guard

    Ffs . Is there no-one else who can take a free kick?

    This is bloody ridiculous.
    We've had a few set pieces tonight, and that was the first failed one from Bree
    He's not going to get it 100% right all the time.
    He is a ‘professional’ footballer I thought. Clearing the first man is a reasonable expectation every time. 
    lol! Are "professional" footballers never allowed to make mistakes, you act like they're robots... Dont chat such shit!!

    I'd forgotten how much arselicking the big clubs get from the commentary teams. We might as well not exist.

    Can’t fault that opener
  • Doing well. When you look at how much Chelsea have spent compared to us, it’s ok.

    Gough looks promising. If he stands up it probably hits him. Just a bit of inexperience showing perhaps.

    We kick off, send it back to Mannion and he launches it forward.

    He normally booed and the Charlton fans don't like to feel left out.

    Good ball into the box from Bree to Kelman, and Carey's shot is blocked and rebounds for a goal kick.
