Results are only viewable after voting.
I'll predict that any players unavailable for Chelsea will be regularly highlighted by the commentary team.
Will they mention our unavailable team?

Dieng
Ayling - McNair - Lenihan - Bangura
Silvera - McGree - Azaz - Greenwood
Latte Lath - Coburn

Subs: T.Smith, Dijksteel.

Those 13 look pretty competitive.
 
Football fans always look for omens and portents and such. We've definitely been lucky with the draw, with the first leg (missed chances etc. On the other side, this tie reminds me very much of going to Old Trafford 91 with an up and coming second-tier side under a youngish manager facing a 'big' team living on past glories. We gave them a real fright, but lost.

I'm voting 'yes' out of sentimentality rather than any level-headed conviction, but there's no doubt on our day we can hurt Chelsea. My worry is an early mistake gifting them a goal.

I'm not sure we were lucky in the first leg, they had 3 good chances, we had 2, our goal and the Latte Lath one straight away. We also had a very strong shout for a penalty, and a "seen them given" shout for a handball penalty.
Second half they didn't have a single clear cut chance, not because of luck but because we defended superbly.
 
Just let me enjoy the fantasy
For a little bit let me imagine we can do it.
That's what the cup is for.
It's part of the joy of English football.
It's why the super league nonsense must never happen.
Big clubs like Chelsea owe football a chance to have that moment.
We already beat them over 90 minutes in a one off game.
Whatever happens we taught them a lesson and that's good for the game.
It would be no surprise if we go there and get beat 6-0
But you never know.
Dreams sometimes come true.
 
We just need one of those nights where Chelsea hit the posts and bar a good few times, a lucky deflection in our favour here or there, a few super saves from Glover. Need to get into the second half with Chelsea and their fans just knowing it isn’t going to be their night and the frustrating rising. If we can see that finish line still ahead with like 15 to 20 mins to go **** it will be tense!

I was there at Old Trafford in 92, we should have done it that night. Let’s hope we can do it at the Bridge this time,

And 2 of those 3 chances we gave them, they didn't create them (Howson's misplaced pass and Glover spilling an easy to save shot.

To get through I think we need to score. You are right, at some point we will get a chance to score. We need to take it. I believe. UTB

Getting cold shivers thinking about the game now. Getting close.
