Good point

Good owd Scotty Parker, you'll do for me owd lad.

Clarets on a sausage roll. Definitely see us passing Kompanys 24pts to put Parker down as our 2nd best Premier league manager in our history

Who got this score right?

Interesting to look at the individual performances.

Defensively, a strong performance from Worral. Calm and assured.

Midfield, Hannibal unlucky to get booked but 100% as ever, wanting the ball and trying to look forwards.

Attack, non existent for most of the match. The Chelsea goal - Flemming strolled back and left the Chelsea player to take his time and pick a pass. It was interesting that once Bashley came on and took the lead, Flemming could drop back and get the goal.

Ward - Prowse excellent. Great delivery, calm and accurate passing.

Spot on Swiss.We could and should have won it but JBL is useless.They should have had a second sending off for the push on Flemming.

Hannibal was very positive driving forward whenever possible. I thought he was the pick of our players. Defensively it was a nightmare start but after that we restricted Chelsea to half chances with Worrall outstanding. JWP provided some quality deliveries at the close and it would not have been undeserved if we had scored a second goal.

A great team effort. Barnes should have been on 15 mins earlier and why is WP not starting. Flemming got the goal but he is not a centre forward, just about zero hold up play. We were fortunate Chelsea went on the defensive for the last 20 mins but a
welcome point. We are not done yet BT, almost but not quite.
Why is a ball played to the feet of a BFC player who is running down the touch line towards his end with an opposition player on his back
considered to be ok. What is he supposed to do? We do it all the time!

I think the centre forward scenario has really stifled us but Parker seems to persist with Fleming when so many on here can see he?s not suited to that role.

His goal yesterday was arriving later when we had a centre forward up top with him - it?s obvious to us but not the management sadly - we still carry too many players though some are just not giving their all imo

At least he?s realized that Hannibal is a better option playing at last.
