Thedelldays Posted 12 January, 2013 Posted 12 January, 2013 eer, walking wounded going to the bridge....
S-Clarke Posted 12 January, 2013 Posted 12 January, 2013 Write this one off? Keep the G/D at a decent level.....is probably all we can expect. We might catch them on an off day, but to be honest we'd need all our best players available to cause them an issue.
Saint_clark Posted 12 January, 2013 Posted 12 January, 2013 Thankfully the position we're in now means that this game midweek is fairly irrelevant. We can go there with no pressure whatsoever and anything - absolutely anything - is a bonus.

Saint_clark Posted 12 January, 2013 Posted 12 January, 2013 if we lose by 3 or more (which we probably will)..then we will drop a place... But it won't affect how many points we have.
Thedelldays Posted 12 January, 2013 Author Posted 12 January, 2013 But it won't affect how many points we have. I know that..but I remember when we stayed up on goal difference...and that was very tight (charlton went down i think)....every goal matters... ffs
Saint Garrett Posted 12 January, 2013 Posted 12 January, 2013 Damaged limitation indeed. No more injuries as well after gaston and luke going off today injured. Maybe a result but jut keep It right. Would be tempted to play 3 CM's in Morgan cork and Davis.
trousers Posted 12 January, 2013 Posted 12 January, 2013 I can see us beating Chelsea. Dafter things have happened, haven't they?
the stain Posted 12 January, 2013 Posted 12 January, 2013 I'd put the Development squad out and send the first team on a holiday somewhere nice, where they can relax and recuperate and not even listen to the result. Then they can come back next week and not have the inevitable mauling affect their confidence.
S-Clarke Posted 12 January, 2013 Posted 12 January, 2013 I can see us beating Chelsea. Dafter things have happened, haven't they? Like QPR beating Chelsea...
MINIBARCELONASAINT Posted 12 January, 2013 Posted 12 January, 2013 If we limit them to only creating chances through their right back, then we'll be fine. Never seen such a woeful deliverer of the ball at a top club.
Viking Saint Posted 12 January, 2013 Posted 12 January, 2013 wonder what kind of team Chelski will field??? doubt it'll be full-strentgh....
ToreSF Posted 12 January, 2013 Posted 12 January, 2013 As hard as it is to admit, I think we should try to learn from QPR last two games. Close off the opposition, and hope for a lucky goal.
Stepgar Posted 12 January, 2013 Posted 12 January, 2013 For deffo they will send out a very strong team. They will not wat another QPR rest at the bridge. The one thing in our favour...well two actually....we are not expected to get anything and they are b all accounts not grea at home. Got there wit confidence and let's just see what happens.
dubai_phil Posted 12 January, 2013 Posted 12 January, 2013 A shot on target and less than 5 conceded will be happy the way they are playing atm
obelisk Posted 12 January, 2013 Posted 12 January, 2013 It'll be a game to test our strong defensive resolve and lightning quick counter attacks.
jonesyboyo Posted 12 January, 2013 Posted 12 January, 2013 Anyone know if you can pay on the gate? I see buying online is rather unhelpfully collection at SMS only.
Saints Warrior Posted 12 January, 2013 Posted 12 January, 2013 Can we hope for a 1-1 draw and a nice penalty for Saints...
skintsaint Posted 12 January, 2013 Posted 12 January, 2013 I'm putting a wedge on a Chelsea win...they are on fire and we never seem to turn up against the big boys away from SMS..... If I lose my money I'll be well happy
Charlie Wayman Posted 12 January, 2013 Posted 12 January, 2013 Damaged limitation indeed. No more injuries as well after gaston and luke going off today injured. Maybe a result but jut keep It right. Would be tempted to play 3 CM's in Morgan cork and Davis. Well, I'd play 5 across the back and 5 across the middle whilst Boruc tries to aim long kicks into their net. Anybody got a better idea.
RonManager Posted 12 January, 2013 Posted 12 January, 2013 Well, I'd play 5 across the back and 5 across the middle whilst Boruc tries to aim long kicks into their net. Anybody got a better idea. I don't think there is a better idea. It's a crazy idea Batman, but it just might work.
Dr Who? Posted 12 January, 2013 Posted 12 January, 2013 I'm putting a wedge on a Chelsea win...they are on fire and we never seem to turn up against the big boys away from SMS..... If I lose my money I'll be well happy Draw it is then!
Dark Munster Posted 12 January, 2013 Posted 12 January, 2013 We may sneak a point, or even a win. But only if Dalek comes on here and makes another 5-0 thrashing prediction.
Kingsbridge Saint Posted 13 January, 2013 Posted 13 January, 2013 Benitez might rest a few. He's the sort of bull headed clueless numpty that won't learn from what happened against QPR and they have a big London derby against Arsenal at the weekend. If they start without a few of their key players and we play without fear (we have nothing to lose) there is no reason why we can't take advantage of their massive arrogance and win the game, like QPR.
PinkScarf Posted 13 January, 2013 Posted 13 January, 2013 I can see us beating Chelsea. Dafter things have happened, haven't they? The girls copied this from the Away Ground Guide : The pubs near the ground can be quite partisan, so I would recommend getting a drink somewhere on the journey there. A number of away fans drink in the pubs around the Earl's Court area, which is only a couple of tube stops away from Fulham Broadway station. The Courtfield Tavern, which is almost opposite the main entrance to Earl's Court Tube Station, is a particular favourite with away supporters. This pubs serves real ale, offers hot food, but both at what can be described as 'London prices'. Gordon a visiting Newcastle fan adds 'there are quite a few pubs on the Kings Road that are okay as long as you don't break into a chorus about your team!'. Alcohol is available inside the stadium, however for certain fixtures the Club opt not to sell any to away supporters, so don't bank on it!
Bearsy Posted 13 January, 2013 Posted 13 January, 2013 Ramirez on his own up front in a false 9 position, men behind the ball, chelsea fans get on the teams back then we score a goal on the break. This is what QPR and Swansea done!
Leicestersaint Posted 13 January, 2013 Posted 13 January, 2013 If we have Fox at LB then we are in trouble I fear.
Saint_Ash Posted 13 January, 2013 Posted 13 January, 2013 Chelsea are pants at home. If we can learn how to get physical we might have a chance. This should be very open.
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 13 January, 2013 Posted 13 January, 2013 Hope JRod is ready for some more running!
Cheam Saint Posted 13 January, 2013 Posted 13 January, 2013 I think Chelsea will rest a few of their squad. Yesterday's game against Stoke was the first of 7 games in 3.5 weeks for them. With Arsenal on Sunday and the league cup game away against Swansea mid week, they'll view the game against us as the easiest. Fortunately, our game against Everton being on Monday means our players should get an adequate rest. Let's hope Chelsea are over-confident following the 1-5 drubbing last weekend!
surrey1saint Posted 13 January, 2013 Posted 13 January, 2013 I have more confidence if playing them at Stamford Bridge,they are poor at the moment. I think we can get at least a point. Fans will be on the back of Rafa & chairman.
Toadhall Saint Posted 13 January, 2013 Posted 13 January, 2013 If QPR can do it, why can't we? Exactly. Go, be brave, stand up and be counted and you never know! It can and has been done very recently.
saintbob40 Posted 13 January, 2013 Posted 13 January, 2013 They like to counter attack so lets not attack. That will confuse the **** out of them!
Dig Dig Posted 13 January, 2013 Posted 13 January, 2013 Ramirez on his own up front in a false 9 position, men behind the ball, chelsea fans get on the teams back then we score a goal on the break. This is what QPR and Swansea done! People on here would **** all over Adkins if he did that. Not the worst idea in the world though.
RedWillie Posted 13 January, 2013 Posted 13 January, 2013 Heard this isn't selling too well... Not surprised. Ridiculously expensive. Making a stand like city at aresenal today - 900 returned by them due to extortionates prices. Shame as I am off but £50 ticket + travel for an eve game no thanks.
Appy Posted 13 January, 2013 Posted 13 January, 2013 Heard this isn't selling too well... No surprise at all, a stupidly small amount of time to give us notice and crazy prices, plus midweek.
RedAndWhite91 Posted 13 January, 2013 Posted 13 January, 2013 Giving just 12 days notice for a rearranged midweek away game is ridiculous.
rick1976.4.38 Posted 13 January, 2013 Posted 13 January, 2013 fair play to those going but sometimes you have to look at the prices being charged and say enough. i wont do chelsea at those prices,so probbly will never set foot into the bridge ever again think they will beat us but hopefuly we can keep the score low. coys
