How Do You Think Tomorrow Will Pan Out?

I think we will be nervous so you will see a few sloppy passes in first 5-10 minutes but we will then settle. I think as time goes on the Chelsea fans will get frustrated which will hopefully help our confidence.

With the lack of pace I think set pieces will become crucial and can see Clarke or Crooks scoring from a corner. Boro to go in 1-0 up before HT. I think Chelsea will come out strong in second half and score. We will then sit deep and have everyone biting nails. Game to finish 1-1. Boro to qualify.

I just hope we don’t show them too much respect. We have nothing to fear.

UTB. I believe.
 
I think we'll give it a real go for the first 15 to try and nick another goal, then (regardless of whether we do) set up to be solid and not concede.

Yeah I’m hoping for and half expecting us to have a real aggressive start and try and catch them cold from their long rest. And then eventually revert into a solid shape looking to get on the counter attack.
 
We'll set up deep and press but they'll get their chances and take one some time around 30mins, get a 2nd before half time a 3rd after 70 and we'll nick one with 5 to go but they'll finish it by hitting us on the break in stoppage time.

I thought we'd get beaten easily in the first leg as well so hopefully I'm way off!
 
Sterling dive for a pen in the first 5 mins...ref bottles it and it's game over 4-0 Chelsea. I thought the ref was shocking in the first leg and expect nothing else in tonight's game. Hope I'm wrong but doubt it.
 
hard to think really after the first leg . Though we would get clattered 1st leg so very very wrong ... this time no preconceptions just going to watch and see...... with my rose tints in I hope a 0-0 boring game would do it .... which means we cant sit back as they will eventually put 1 or 2 in so have to crowd the midfield and stiffle stiffle stiffle
 
One thing I will say, and I know what is likely to happen now I've said this, but Chelsea don't really "batter" anybody. The vast majority of their games are close, and even when they win the opposition are still in the game until quite late.

I think we will have to score, while also being pretty much perfect from a mistake point of view. A big ask I think.

Already nervous and still have a day of work to get through.

Fear the worst if I`m being honest, we don`t have any type of record at Stamford Bridge since I was born in 72

The only memorable victory was the 1-0 loss in the play off back in 88.

In fact we haven`t won their since 75.

We don`t need a win though as a draw will do, anything can happen in football, lows of the weekend to highs of midweek hopefully.
