Nottingham Forest - Chelsea

Shocking substitutions, Should have been a day of celebration really, Good performance, hit the woodwork 3 times. I think Marinakis may twist in the summer, if so have got to get the right appointment.

No to Nuno going. We more than matched a billion pound squad today. Our football was good and expansive. He got the subs wrong and Sangare should have come on for Yates and CHO should have been subbed 5 minutes earlier - James was his man and he was on one leg. Toff was obviously told to track the right winger leaving the whole flank to James as CHO couldn’t run. It pissed me off too - our subs seem so slow.
It was a shame as the atmosphere was as good as it as ever been.

Proud of the lads.

It’s happened a lot this season though, too often to say unlucky. Another 3 goals shipped at home. But yes for 80 minutes we were very good.

Just want this season over and done with. So typical that everyone in the party spirit and it turned flat, it really sums the year up.

Loads of issues to sort out... regardless of deductions we are lucky to stay up which suggests that the team isn't good enough in current manifestation.

Good look at the manager - for all the improvements there have been in aspects of style - particularly om the counter, we haven't really gone forward since removing cooper. The only question is whether there is a better option out there.

Need an upgrade on the keeper - yes Sels is better than Turner and far better than vlach but he is a downgrade from what we had last season.

Defence - Need to hold onto murillo and build defence around him. We need a stable pairing at the back - lost count of the different combinations we've tried. Williams and Aina deserve to stay but I would look to move on the rest.

Midfield - biggest disappointment has to be sangare and would look to cut loss and sell otherwise he might become an even more expensive Harry Arter. Central mid is key - Danilo and Dominguez have looked good at times but inconsistent. We need a need a strong leader in the centre

Need to hold on to mgw and cho - they've got their critics but they are the only two match winners we've got. Elanga - enigma but would hold on to him

Up front - taiwo is just too injury prone and wood - a good back up but confidence seems shot. Need a striker

I think it is 50/50 on Nuno staying or going. If they listen to Syrianos I think an upgrade can be appointed.

Nuno will do that.  If we did a full season with him next season he would take us down.

Folk wanting to invest time and money into him is beyond me. I seen enough weeks ago. He's cost too many points.

 You mean a Chelsea who have been shit away from home all season. Let's not pretend they were nothing more than a team in transition. 

I'll be glad to see the back of Nuno.

Chelsea are in very good form and really clicking, they were very clinical.

Think you are consistently too harsh on Nuno, but I accept he hasn’t improved us defensively which surprises me. 19 points from 20 games (without points off). Genuinely think we look a better team now but the results don’t add up and thats what EM will look at.

Yep, subs were poor but sorry all Yates haters we fell away when got injured then subbed off.

He really got in gallagher’s face before his injury.

Personally I think Chelseas subs changed the game not ours.

They bring on James and we bring on Toffolo, that is where we are at.

We took off a Full back (Montiel) and we brought on a full back (Toffolo) what is wrong with that?

I applaud Pochettino for his subs and that won them the game (just) but we played some lovely football and I can't help but wonder where we would be if Wood had put some of those sitters away that he has missed these last few weeks.
Panic on the streets of Croydon, Derby, Sheffield, Leicestershire.

I actually agree, we played Chelsea and for probably the first time this season they had a good bench, just our luck really. I think a New Left Back should be priority. With Aina and Williams battling for right side.
