Second time lucky?
U14s, then?Roberto said he'll put out his strongest team possible...but taking account of tiredness and the Villa game. Will be interesting

Should be a comfortable home win, they'll be full strength we'll have a mixed team (the under 12s and a few of the under 8s to make up the numbers).....be funny if we won though.

Any news on what line-up Chelsea are expected to start with?
They don't play again until Monday night at Fulham, so I would anticipate that they play their strongest line-up possible.

Strongest bar silva I would guess.
Chelsea been a bit unlucky this season ...stats a lot better than results. Hopefully it doesn't click tonight.
He said that this game is as important as the PL and Europa. While I hope we try our best, I also hope he doesn't really think that.Roberto said he'll put out his strongest team possible...but taking account of tiredness and the Villa game. Will be interesting

This first cup game could be season-defining.

Your support is not that great
Been a while since I've been to a match at the Bridge. Is it likely to be quicker/less crammed to do the Overground thing from Clapham J or stick it out to Victoria and take the scenic route on the District Line?

Chelsea will want to win this.. because they need a win and because it is us. They have a long injury list anyway so it could be Poch playing whoever is fit.
We have several fringe players and some young ones , so the teams are anybody’s guess. I would like us to win ,of course, but won’t cry if we don’t.

So watching that press conference I don't remember RDZ ever looking that flat. Makes you realise the squad might get rotated but the coach is on for every game, every training session and constantly working on tactics.
The last couple of times I've done the Clapham J to West Brompton journey and I've found it much easier and certainly quicker post match. You can walk through the cemetery to make it even quicker though it might not be open in the evenings!
I’d do the overground

Annoying this is against Chelsea as I’d be quite happy to go out tonight. Do not need the extra games and if we want a domestic cup run I’d rather the FA cup.
But as it’s against Chelsea I hope we smash them and then hope we don’t get Palace (oh wait ..)

Bearing in mind Fulham also at home (and Brentford) i would imagine the District line and that area of London as a whole will be busy!
As an aside it is my birthday today so would dearly love the Albion to give me the present i most desire and beat them tonight especially as i am making the effort to attend.

How have Chelsea's Brighton moves worked out?
Since Todd Boehly became chairman, Chelsea have spent £185m on buying players from Brighton - as well as taking seven members of their staff. Has it worked out?
