Richard 'The Marmite Man' Keogh Scott 'The Wall' Carson

I suspect we won't see any out and out wingers tomorrow. Rather Marriott and Waghorn with Wilson behind them. Dont know why, just a feeling after how we were set up on Wednesday

Worth noting this is only viable for sky, there's no red button option for now TV. Also signing up with sky will be a case of a 12/18 month contract.

Is there/has there been a change in approach to the development and possible sales of academy players since the end of last season? For example, with loan players like Callum Guy having an option to buy at the end of the loan agreement.

Bolton 0-3 Derby Fgs Marriott

I feel for him, best all out defender at the club, but doesn't bring the same pace/attacking qualities as Keogh or Tomori, barring injuries I'd be very surprised to see him in a Derby shirt this side of Christmas

Think hoops at some point would be nice, especially as a special occasion shirt (x amount of years as a club/promotion to the Premier league etc).

Lawrence was poor before his red card, we've won two very big games in the time he's been out, no way he should be in the team ahead of Bennett or 'Zoon

Says alot when Bradders is ahead of Huddlestone, Ledley, Thorne and most probably Evans when he comes back. First player I can honestly say has earned his place in the team on pure merit alone in a long time

With all the media attention on Mason Mount reckon we could catch Tomori on the cheap? 🤔😉

Thank goodness we have all British posters on this forum, god forbid if a foreign poster came on here, with their knowledge and experience of other cultures and football leagues. See, it sounds daft if you put it in the context of the forum, why apply it to a football club?

Tammy Abraham, Ruben Loftus Cheek, even Romulu Lukaku are good examples of where Chelsea aren't playing the loan 'starlets' when they returned. Most get sold on for a substantial fee and make it in the long run.

Good to see the feel good factor back at the club, the players want to play for each other and it's obvious. Many of us (including myself) were concerned that Lamps could get this group to gell with each other with the sheer number of signings and changes, but he seems to be doing a great job of it so far.

Johnson tends to try alot more risky passes than Hudds, probably wouldn't work so well in a defensive setup, but with runners like Nuge and Bennett those long over the top/through balls are really starting to show some value. Even if one of those passes come off in five, chances are we'll score from them.
