Chelsea (H) League Cup 3rd round, Wed 23 Sep 7.45pm

[otiswfc]

I get the feeling Bradshaw wont start - if he's tweaked his groin he'll probably be on the bench.

I imagine Lalkovic will start up front, with Morris and Cook on the wings.

Just a hunch

As for Chelsea, we know Terry and Falcao will start, but who else?

I'd imagine the team will be along the lines of:

Begovic/Blackman

Aina (Debut)
Terry
Djilobodji (Debut)
Baba Rahman

Loftus-Cheek
Mikel/Ramires

Kenedy
Oscar
Traore

Falcao

Although there is some talk about playing Hazard in an attempt to get him back into form. :shock:

That ain't a bad reserve side is it really :D

[deldras]

According to the schedule, it is on at 8 pm EST. I'm in the air at that time so no use to me.
The live match at 11.45 am EST on Wednesday is scheduled as Spurs reserves v Arsenal reserves.

As I mentioned on another thread,

No good to moaning, of course. (Talk about bad planning...)

The highlights are on Channel 5 at 11pm BST, and can be watched from anywhere in the world at filmon.com. I will post a link to my cloud recording of the highlights at approximately 12.40am. Once I've downloaded the programme, I'll upload the Walsall match to YouTube. Unless we lose...

That link doesn't work (blocked by the high courts apparently!).

On the night a bit of Google work will find you a stream. Hopefully. Bet365 U.K, have only an Audio service unfortunately.

The link works if you live in Hong Kong! :D :shock: :? :mrgreen:

Mind you, the last time I used livetv.sx (Preston away JPT) I couldn't see the action for the adverts superimposed on the screen.

And it was in Arabic!

[Kevlar]

If I'm honest about Shrewsbury... I really disliked it. Ground is in the middle of nowhere and it's your bog standard modern day lower league ground with no character to it at all.

Anyway, if you get the chance pay £2 and go to the Saddlers Club. You will be made more than welcome and the beer is fairly cheap [by London standards anyway].

Also ..............feel free to visit the sauna, gymnasium and licensed casino situated in the "Paul Merson Suite " below the away end.

About a tenner , I think.

[mosaddler]

if any of you supporters live far and wide and cannot make it to the game then pm on how to watch the match.

:)

[Welsh_Saddler]

At least we shan't have to worry about containing Diego Costa - he's been banned for three games with immediate effect. :D

[wfc & chips]

including cup games?

[maximus]

Immiediate. Next 3 games including tomorrow.

[SoccerHQ]

Mourinho said Falcao was starting anyway, probably Remy aswell.

Imagine though if Costa scored and starting running to the corner and then that Wolves pitch invader confronted him.... :lol: :shock:

[Mrdollabill]

For those who can make the match its being shown on Arena Sport 3 and beIN Sports 12__

yeah, i wasn't questioning the immediacy, just sometimes these bans don't apply to all competitions. for example, he'll be available for their 3rd game and not their 4th.

[SaigonSaddler]

I expect a loss ... probably 2 clear goals, maybe just the one but ...

I think we'll score - and depending on when it (they) is (are) it could make it very interesting.

You never know in these kinds of games, much of football is to do with confidence and it's not the worst time to play them by any means.

Head - 3-1
Heart - 2-2

Here's hoping! :D

[Magic Man Fan]

It's looking like Blackman their young keeper will be starting, not Begovic. Pile the pressure on him and surround him, and test him with lots of early shots to make him nervous. Then get someone to stand on his toes from a corner.

8-0. Mourinho to resign and Abrahmovic to make Bonser an offer he can't refuse, for the land only though.

[Cheesebag]

Will I be able to watch these live streams from within the stadium?

.

Think that's potentially our problem though. Traditionally, lower league sides have beat superior opposition by roughing them up a bit to see if fancy dans are up for a scrap. Think we set out this template in the 30's when we basically kicked the cack out of Arsenal. We'll play Chelsea at football tonight which given that the gulf has undoubtedly widened since we last successfully tried this against the champions of England (ok we lost the tie against Liverpool but I think drawing up there was a success), should mean we lose by a few goals.

The beauty is that it doesn't matter and the great thing about football is that a hundred to one chance is still a chance.

Come on!

[JonnyOwen]

Very confident our team will be:

Etheridge
Demetriou
Downing
O'Connor
Henry (To deal with Kenedy's pace)
Chambers
Mantom
Flanagan
Morris
Bradshaw
Lalkovic

Same team that beat Florist and Brighton. ChelseaFansTV or something said they expected Hazard to play, if he does it will be the 2nd time in like 2 weeks Demetriou plays against him :lol:

Flanagan plays and I'm telling you now we will get rolled over middle of the park...
I like him but against Zouma (mammoth) and Oscar (magician) they will make him look like were playing with 10 men.

I can't see Smith leaving Sawyers out of the team, probably at the expense of Flanagan or Morris from your team.

And Flanaghan is the only player in midfield of course :roll:

[ObiWan7]

Won't be there as working until 10.

I've pretty good on predictions so far this seaso getting only the Bury result wrong so...................

Walsall 1
Mantom

Chelsea 3
Foreigners

Full house of about 10500

I think we'll huff and puff and make a good show but we'll be found out early on and put to the sword.

Good luck to them tonight and i'll be listening to it , i just hope the place gets very, very noisy.

[kshammer]

i just hope the place gets very, very noisy.

I think a Walsall win is more likely than that. :lol:

[hullsaddler]

Realised on the train down here I'd forgotten my glasses. Will have to use prescription sunglasses tonight so hope floodlights are good.
Also where I am staying doesn't do food until 6.30 which is too late .. what is the food like in the upper F2Go?

[JonnyOwen]

No Tom Bradshaw, injured/not being risked.

Well Cookie, if there ever was a time to put the form you put in for the reserves into the first team it would be now.
