Gone are the days I trust when we had an ageing squad and we’d spend ever and a day on here complaining that no replacements were being lined up. We have now some very good young players, many inexperienced at PL level but with lots of potential to improve. The downside is the “butchers bill” will need to be paid somewhere down the line so we will be selling the pick of them. For the short term we could do with picking up a few points off one or two big clubs to go with points gained from the so-called lesser teams near the foot of the PL. We do not have a good record against Chelsea in recent seasons but we are unlikely to face the aerial bombardment that was the second half at Kenilworth Road. Picking up our first home point or points of the season against the Blues would be most welcome.
