Patrick Bamford

Jose and Rui Faria at the match.

[Special Juan 27,104]

Hobbled his way through the game, not fit at all.

[zolayes 14,489]

not fair to judge him on this game .. but fair to say we need to get him OUT of the championship ...play here is terrible

[Madmax 9,219]

Fair or not, I wonder if that's put paid to any remote possibility that he'd be with us next season. When the big boss is watching, you need to put in a performance that impresses him. Didn't Mourinho turn up at the Championship playoff (?) last season to watch Chalobah, where he had a stinker?

[Sidzeret 2,257]

Just thinking after hearing Costa might not play again this season, we need a striker who is reliable and who is always fit and I do not think it is Remy (who I really like). It seems like whenever Costa is injured, he is injured also and we have to rely on a very aged Drogba.

I think if we get an offer for Remy it should be seriously considered and put Bamford as our number 2. Hell, I would give Didier an extra year if it meant Bamford would be ahead of him. The boy was born to put the ball in the net and he's fit as a fiddle. Not to mention his fantastic attitude and the fact he can even play wide if push comes to shove. If he can't break into this Chelsea team, let's face it, neither will Solanke, Brown or any other future Chelsea prospects for that matter.

It's about time we showed a little faith, especially to those who have proven themselves time and time again, at whatever level they've been put at.

As much as I like Bamford,setting up to defend the title with Costa-Bamford-Drogba is definitely risky. There's no way he comes into the side as our 2nd choice striker straight away. Would love to see him and Remy conpete for the 2nd striker role. Costa-Remy- Bamford looks definitely like a PL retaining strike force imo.

Yes.

I don't think he was going to be with us next season, regardless as was exactly the same with Chalobah.

He was touch and go for the match, recovering from injury... Probably far from his best physical condition. Also I believe Mourinho was there more for Aitor than Bamford (although to watch him too).

[Special Juan 27,104]

I'm at the Riverside tonight for the second leg, my lads football team are doing the walk outs. Apparently, if fit, my lad is with Bamford.

He would be crazy to accept without guarantees about his role with the first team.

[mikeholiday 209]

Did he have a good game in a big match?

watched the first half. norwich were all over middlesborough. could not string 3 passes together and norwich were literally spanking them.

dont know about the 2nd half though.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Completely isolated first half, decent second half but couldn't find a goal to get his team back in it. Boro were thoroughly out played.

Literally? No, "literally spanking them" would be if every Norwich player had a Boro player over his lap and actually spanking them
