Chelsea vs Newcastle

[BRMC 12]

Im not that keen on Turnbull starting but like said above he has to have some minutes, so not much we can do. Will be intresting to see if Hilario is on the bench.

Seeing as we'll field a younger team I'd expect one of the reserve keepers to be on the bench,probably Taylor.

Taylor is at Crewe on loan.

Would be Sam Walker I'd imagine.

Right-o.

My memory gets worse by the day.

At least I can keep track of our win ratio

[Steve 10,227]

Heading away for a couple of days. So i wont be here to post. But lets hope we get the win! Ill be watching the game and will be interested to see what squad is put out. Hopefully we see the youngsters but still get the win because newcastle wont be pushovers.

Chelsea vs Newcatle

[EskWeston 696]

Looks like Sol Campbell will be playing, he looked so slow in the reserve game that Kakuta and Sturridge are gonna have a field day!!!

Ross Turnbull prepares for a first start of the season tomorrow against the side he supported as a boy.

TURNBULL'S TEST

finally he got his chance(again)

Ancelotti won't risk 'fantastic' Essien against Newcastle

let him roar against Citeh!

[BlueLion. 21,491]

From Blues News:

Turnbull will start the game.

Bruma, Kakuta, Sturridge and van Aanholt all also start.

Billy Clifford and Jacob Mellis will be on the bench.

No Frank Lampard.

[BomTrett 50]

Hope McEachran also makes an appearance in this game

Also says on the Chelsea website that JT will play at least 45 mins

Possible lineup?

Turnbull

Ferriera Bruma Terry/Alex Van Aanholt

Benayoun Ramires Zhirkov

Kakuta Sturridge Kalou

I only say Zhirkov because i assume Carlo wouldnt want to risk Mikel for Saturday?

[Kostas 1,468]

I expected Connor Clifford to get some minutes but Billy makes sense.It looks like at the moment he's our 3rd choice RB.

Strange that there's no mention of Borini

[zolayes 14,489]

slightly off topic ..but seems we let a goal scorer go ..scott sinclair 2 more goals tonight ..think thats 4 or 5 so far for the swans ..

pleased for the boy

[zolayes 14,489]

still off topic ..but make that a hat trick

[zolayes 14,489]

well that is the team selection almost everyone wanted. So IF things go pear shaped I hope any moaners will be banned for 3 games ..

moaning about officials or opposition SHOULD be allowed

Turnbull has been shit since like forever,he makes big mistakes he showed that in pre - season more than once.We can't field Bruma and Aanholt in the same time since they will be raped.The midfield looks ok and the attack is great as usual since Sturridge and Kalou always do well in the cups.

I fear our weak link is the defence if we start youngsters,but the real weak point is Turbull.

Lets not be so Negative dude, Bruma and Aanholt are better defenders than any of the Newcastles, theres no need to worry Carlo knows what he's doing.

Hopefully if we lose people won't start moaning and then expect the worst in the future, cos many were crying out for young players to have experience.
