Out of the Carling Cup - one less distraction?

Those who think your youth chances will become more limited, well they probably will. But with the impressive performance of Josh McEachran vs Newcastle and the fact Carlo played Bruma, McEachran & Kakuta vs Zilina shows he actually is willing to give these kids a chance. I can see this season the kids starting to come on more and more in games, perhaps even getting some starts? They'll definitely play in the FA Cup and maybe even some of our Champions League games (remember, we still have Zilina at home!)

Without doubt we will see the young players used more than ever before, not very likely to be many starts at all. And there is a big difference between coming on in a game when we are 4 - 0 up and playing in a full on competitive game like Wednesday, that game will have done more for the young players development as first team players than half a dozen sub appearances when games are won.

From a more, selfish?, approach I'm quite disappointed we went out so early. It means chances to going to see Chelsea play become limited. Carling Cup and FA Cup games are usually £20 or £30 each, a reasonable price. The Premier League games are almost £50 a pop!

It's why I love Carling Cup and FA Cup game. They're affordable and tickets are more/less always available, with us going out so early The FA Cup is the only competition left for affordable games and I think this season they maybe more in demand. I guess I'll just have to build up my loyalty points for that though

Yeh lol that was my plan!!! The odd prem game and build the rest from those games. £55 for Liverpool fuck that! Thought £48 last year was pricey but ok but takes the piss
