City EDS v Chelsea EDS Thursday 7.45 (LIVE)

[Wonderwall]

For those of you not aware, BT Sport are showing the game at Ewen Fields Hyde Live tomorrow night.

There is 1 point separating the top five in the league, so this should be a cracker, Top scorers in the league with the 2nd worst defensive record and we go top with a win.

Sort of dampens the whole thing a bit when so many people are on loan - Rekik, Cole, Denayer etc - a full team I'm sure. Same for Chelsea I expect, but.................

Cole is back

[Ted Hughes]

Chelsea have been a bit large for us in previous games I think. They tend to have a pretty solid, physical defence wheras we usually tend to have a bunch of mainly little kids v their big ones.

[Douglas Higginbottom]

It will be miles from our strongest side but if we have Barker,Maffeo,Angelino,Celina,Bryan,Ambrose,Gunn it will be a good watch

[Douglas Higginbottom]

Don't forget it's on tonight.Interesting team selections with 2 center backs who are not really centre backs,at least imo.

It should be a great test to see what some of the lads are made of. Barker has been in great form so should be worth watching as will Ambrose and Pozo.Probably no surprise to see Bytyqi and Ntcham selected with only a sub spot for Celina but I do hope gets on for a good spell.

[Duckman]

Does anybody know a girl named Joan?

Pm please. Cheers.

1 nil Chelsea. Poor from Bryan

[Plain Speaking]

1 all, Barker equalises, 2 goals in 4 minutes!

[steelsnail]

Barker with a rocket! 1-1

[twosips]

And THAT'S why Barker should be given a chance.

[blues2win]

Barker's on fire. He really should be given a chance. I can't imagine why he wasn't against Wednesday.

[Feed The Goat]

Why we not playing at the new palce

[Mikhail Chigorin]

And THAT'S why Barker should be given a chance.

Absolutely.

[twosips]

He's capable of having 90% of fullbacks on toast even now. Easy. He'd have done Sheff Wednesday's fullback easily enough i reckon.

[Plain Speaking]

It's free on Chelsea tv channel 421, for those that dont have BT. 2-1 City, good Ambrose finish.

[twosips]

Brilliant from Pozo. What a pass.

[Plain Speaking]

Barker having a good game. Pitch is poor, not sure why not at the new facilities?

[Nick]
