I think it would be wrong to look at the game without taking into account the impact that the sending off had. When Silva was sent-off Chelsea were 1-0 ahead and not having to go up any gears.

Then Ivanovic went off injured and Allardyce had the chance to be positive. Had it been 11v11 I think we would have seen Peltier come on for Ivanovic. In fact Peltier was getting himself ready to come on before Robinson was given the nod.

The change of shape is what changed the game for us. Phillips, Pereria, Robinson and Diagne all looked good together and there was finally some cohesion and clinical finishing.

As I say I didn't see it but your account is no doubt right Josh. It'll be interesting to see whether that change will have an effect on BFS's team selection from here on in - obviously we have to WIN almost all games so let's keep our fingers crossed; play as much as we can on the front foot and go down with a bit of pride restored
