I am PROUD of BHAFC tonight. Yes we lost 4 0 but we gave it one hell of a go. 2 STONEWALL penalties and hit the post. Chelsea FC are at a completely different level to us with some of the best players in the World.

Their second goal was the best team goal I think I have ever seen watching my team for 43 years. Hazard is a fantastic player. Sometimes you have to take it on the chin. 4 0 flattered them but after 2 0 down after 6 minutes we stuck to it.

Schelotto was bloody superb. Down but not out. It will be a hell of an ask to stay up now is my opinion but as long as we give all, as a fan I will be happy

The difference between a £50 mill side and a £500mill side. Maybe not as big as some would think.

The difference I feel between leaving The Hawthorns at 2 - 0 and a 0 - 4 today is massive.

Carry on CH..

Couldn’t go today, so I’m watching the game on sky plus now. We were good in the first half, we need to play like this against teams of our level though, and we would win enough to stay up

I agree. Last week we looked gutless and clueless, it was abysmal. Not today.....just hope CH is a bit braver now and Jurgen hits the ground running.

If we stick with this formation and the new striker proves to be as good as hoped then I can see us picking up enough points to stay up. I liked the way this set up allowed Propper to foray forward more, a bit like he does for The Netherlands, and Schelleto was a revelation. I'd definitely keep Suttner in for Bong but replace Stephens with Kayal. Other than that all good, apart from the scoreline obviously. Sometimes you've just got to take your hat off to certain players, and today Hazard an Willian were just world class. As for the ref though, shocking display. It's hard enough as it is against the top six sides without having that level of incompetence / favouritism going against you.

BensGrandad · Jan 20, 2018

I cannot believe people suggesting Kayal for possibly our POTS so far Stephens. Granted he puts in a lot of effort but achieves very little. Our problem at the moment is that teams are exposing our 2 CBs as being gutsy players but with little ability as opposed to the early part of the season when they were winning everything teams are now playing on their weaknesses.

I can't do a thumbs up. But thumbs up to this.

That. All of it.

Thought the different set-up was a great move by CH and as little or nothing was expected from this game it was a good time to try it out. This plus our new striker (and maybe others en route to Brighton) will give us a great chance of PL survival. :ascarf:

Stephens. Player of the season? Have you lost your meds? Forget the ridiculous song, he always gives the ball away.

That's because he tries to make creative passes more than any player on the pitch. He's the anti-Hammond.

Absolutely. Could not agree more; if we go down then so be it -desperately disappointing, but whatever happens we must at the very least give it a real go, as we did today for a good hour of the match. Hazard's performance was a real revelation -what a player.

BensGrandad · Jan 20, 2018

US you do go into raptures over nothing yes it was an improvement but nothing to go into raptures over and certainly not a performance to be proud of.

Well said US. On reflection I'm immensely proud of the team today. I just hope the new formation and new striker does enough to keep us up

This is how I see it. I was totally deflated (and angry) after that limp display last weekend. Today we gave it a good go but came up short. If we could only go for it at 0-0 rather than wait for 0-2 it would be wonderful

AlastairWatts · Jan 20, 2018

At last - a team that gave it a real go and looked as if they were determined to achieve something this afternoon. I had the feeling that if Murray had started then some of the first half attempts on goal would have ended up in the back of the Chelsea net.

Bollocks. I stayed to after and clapped them off (rare for me). Hazard is top 5 in the world. I love my boys.

Duffy was a worry today, though. Off the pace, and head dropping after each cock up.

Wrong, as to be expected. If you cannot open your eyes to see so many positives from that performance I suggest you go and watch Mile Oak
