I think the same.
We will put up a good fight but they will probably end up cruely nicking it.
The best we can hope for this weekend is that both forest and Leeds get well beat. 

[Dick Shaftsbury]

I think its going to be one of those games where we play really well but get beat. 

[fraser]

Think we're getting battered today

But then I usually think that

That would be cause we get battered a lot hth 

[Forest Gate Ugly]

Expecting to win? Fucking hell.
A couple of pints helps

Sir Alf, I assume you live on a tiny island off the Essex coast, chained to a rock with ravens constantly trying to peck out your eyes. Enough with the doom and gloom! I am going there expecting to win for once. They’ll be tired, we’re on a roll.  

[only1billybonds]

As much as I'd like to i just can't face this with any optimism. I think our winning run ends today though i obviously hope I'm wrong.

[Manuel]

Think we're getting battered today

But then I usually think that

Oh come on, get on board, we're weally weally good now.

[Beef&Tomato]

Fancy us to go there and get a result.  I'm going 1-2.

I hope we win by a dodgy VAR call, a questionable penalty and a goal given after a foul in the build up right in front of that little David Brent soundbite, cliche ridden little cսnt Rosenior, who has very quickly taken over from Arteta as the biggest(tiniest) cսnt in football.

Are we still allowed to call them Rentboys? Oh, I did.

Draw would be a great result but a win would completely change everything. Beat one of the top teams and you’re looking at the last 14 games needing maybe 5 wins.
After Chelsea we have more than 5 winnable games.

[Metroplex]

I just want us to give them a proper game. Maybe then we really will have turned a corner on the back of two wins. The jury is still out. 2-1

[John Drake]

Anyone want to chip in to buy a Dignitas Gift Voucher for Sir Alf?

[Sir Alf]

Im remaining miserable and the harbinger of doom ( not hard it comes naturally ). Chelsea are in a new manager bounce period. We needed to meet them a few weeks back under Maresca. Palmer also back now. Bad timing. And our squad remains inadequate aside from adding the professional headless chicken / turkey that is Traore. 

We have the worst defence in the league and dont do clean sheets despite improvements of late.

All the data points to a defeat. 

[Leonard Hatred]

WE WILL DEFEAT CHELSEA BY TWO GOALS TO ONE. 

STAND ON ME.

From Ex:

There is a fitness concern over a key player and they will face a late fitness test to determine whether they can be involved today.

Aren't they all key? 


The only three I wouldn't be bothered about Soucek AWB and Scarles... Who replaces the rest? 

It's a good point. Areola I could probably be alright with being injured. But agree....Areola and the fullbacks. Though AWB has been key in the shape change too.

Even Soucek I feel is critical...he's brought leadership and intelligent play to the middle of the park as well as adding physicality in the boxes.

In fact...other than the GK and maybe Scarles...I'd be nervous with any of the others dropping out just because it will change what we try and do.

[Mex Martillo]

Yes, same again, 3rd week in a row.

Areola
Wan Bissaka.  Mavropanos.   Todibo.   Scarles
Bowen. Soucek.  Fernandes. Summerville
Pablo. Taty

Yes good old 4-4-2, I paid attention last week and would say we are based on 4-4-2. Love that.

Lets see if Chelsea can stop our winning machine!

 

[Manuel]

I think we will win our remaining 15 games and clinch a spot in Europe. This will be 86 all over again.

0-4

[F 129 Row66]

Can't stand RBs supporters. Most of them only appeared when it was converted into a  laundy for money stolen from the stolen Russian taxpayers, and started buying trophies.

[Sydney_Iron]

I would like to think we can get something from this (at least a draw) i know its against the odds, but Chelsea had to dig deep to get the result against Napoli so I'm hoping they will tire quickly and given our predicament, they will maybe underestimate us as well and assume its a routine 3 points in the bag.

Or maybe im just blindly optimistic and dreaming
