Not a great start to the season in a game many had said was a good time to catch a Chelski team in potential dissaray.
Our 2 tallest players fail to connect to head Willians cross clear and Kante the dwarf shins the opener, I was applauding Schindy for his tackle and corner, not one away supporter shouted pen, but yes on replay he caught the chap - unlucky.
2nd half we didnt have a touch until 70 mins, Waggers thought going 2 up top would be their undoing but we never showed anything nor could pass nor keep the ball, their midfield was just too sharp and Hoggy was running in circles with nothing to bite. Lowe was replaced a good 15 mins too late as the new quick wide players were needed at that point, setting up for a point had gone south about an 40 mins previous.
Hamer is getting stick from all quarters for his kicking but had nothing to do other than pick the ball out of the bag perhaps he was nervous, the run up for pen was class and he was committed going to his right so unless he's a double jointed acrobat he wasnt going to back flip across goal to stop it so lets give him some slack, next week see how he fairs as he's going to be even busier on Sunday sadly.
So not a good day all round for the managemment, players and fans alike, there was barely a peep for 1/2 the 2nd half apart from the away lot.
How 12 months have changed top of the league last year singing about the champions league at Palarse.
