Yeah, Forest do have one of the best defensive records after 6 games. Although, they do struggle to score
Free flowing Chelsea will expect to get past the Forest defence, clinical finishing will be the key
Important three points up for grabs today
After which we go into another six game run in the EPL, Oct/ Nov, facing a significantly better level of opposition than we have faced in our first 6 games.,
20/10> Liverpool, 27/10> N/Castle, 03/11> Utd, 10/11> AFC, 23/11> Leicester, 01/12> Villa.
Importantly we have taken full advantage of the points available to date, the side is beginning to take shape & grow in confidence, but after todays match the next run of games will be a more accurate measure of where this squad is currently, Hats off to Maresca.
Along side this , the B team continues to get game time and the opportunity to gel in the European conference League playing
24/10> Panathinaikos, 07/11> Noah, 28/11> Fc 1842, 12/12> Astana,
19/12> Shamrock.
Out on a limb, nothing less than getting to final of this competition will be the minimum expectation, imo
COY Blues, KTBFFH, UTC,
Forest parking the bus!

With the exception of Bournemouth, our wins so far this season have been against defensively weak teams.
Forest will in theory provide a much tougher test. Looking forward to seeing what we can do.

yes, today will be a test for them, will CHO return to haunt us, Mf will know!
imo, generally the squad is beginning to make sense, a spine of quality players seems to emerging.
The conference matches are also exactly what we need at this point.
Likewise looking forward to seeing what we can do

Lets see what defense he puts out today, but we should really be beating these type of teams, as long as we take our chances and don't do silly thing at the back !

You took Forest for granted today - arrogance will be your downfall
In the end Chelsea were lucky to come away with a point - against the 10 men of Forest 🤣

really,
I think we took Forest seriously, they did park the bus, it is what they do, its no secret mate.
Our poor finishing at critical moments cost us all three points, but a point is a point.
I dont think we have anything to complain about against a well drilled Forest side.
So whats all this down fall stuff????
Like it or not we do have a young squad full of quality that is simply getting better month by month.

I really fear for the future of this country and the world when people like this are allowed on the internet unchecked. I know it might be playful but if it is then don't you have something better to do.
If it's not playful then you have a mental condition .
XG today chlsea 2.28 v forest 1.67.
Forest had some good chances but we really should have been in the lead going into ET.
Wasteful from felix and nkunku in particular.
