‘So Last Season’ Chelsea FanCast #1059 Sep 04, 2023

Show notes

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Martin Wickham to look back at a horribly familiar defeat to Nottingham Forest.

We discuss failing to finish AGAIN - although Chelsea played ok with creative intent, forward momentum, movement which is a change from last season, and Forest defended very well. Sterling was relatively poor and Gusto needs to learn how to cross; Jackson had a poor game but will get better or is he the new Salomon Kalou? We look at Pochettino's selection - he is playing 4 at the back not 3, but is Colwill a left back and is Chilwell a winger? Cole Palmer on his debut and Madueke looked good; Mudryk has a way to go yet; Enzo class and Caicedo improving.

In part two we discuss what’s the hate with Silva about? Would Pochettino consider a change in formation and selection – Sanchez: Chilwell, Silva, Disasi, Gusto/James: Enzo, Moises; Sterling, Palmer/Gallagher, Madueke; Jackson? With an average age of squad at 22.5 years the team has no experience at this level and it shows and will take time. With £1bn spent and no striker or creative midfielder and no tried and tested players is it a surprise we still find it hard to score? And we review the Transfer window - why are Clearlake going with youth rather than experience?

Chelsea FanCast Preview Show #1058 Sep 01, 2023

Show notes

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Dayne Whittle to look back at the win against Wimbledon and ahead to Nottingham Forest on Saturday.

In part one we are joined by Liam Twomey from The Athletic to look back at Wednesday nights 2-1 win in the Carabao Cup over AFC Wimbledon. A banana skin was avoided as Chelsea made relatively hard work of beating League 2 side Wimbledon proving that making changes doesn’t work and possibly revealing a lack of squad depth. Enzo and the big guns came to the rescue and Captain Conor Gallagher excelled again.

Liam gives us the latest from Transfer Window Deadline day including his take on the runoured exits of Conor Gallagher, Ian Maatsen and Trevoh Chalobah.

In part two we welcome Adam Wiklo from the Red Side of the Trent podcast for our 'Opposition View'. What does Adam think of Forest’s start to the season and their transfer business? Adam discusses Awoniyi’s electric form and the key players and threats for Saturday as well his match prediction.

In part three we preview the match stating with Chidges and Pochettino's predicted line-ups. Where will Enzo play? Sterling needs to stay hot! And Forest are looking decent in spite of results and are not to be taken lightly. We wrap up with our predictions.

‘A Rise in the Value of Sterling’ Chelsea FanCast #1056 Aug 29, 2023

Show notes

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Dan Silver to look back at an encouraging 3-0 win against Luton Town.

In part one: Sterling was superb – has he turned a corner? Chelsea are making progress but there's still room for improvement. All the goals were good goals; quick transitions and attacking play; no stodge, but we went flat either side of half time. Jackson gets off the mark – massively important. Enzo shows his class; Caicedo channels his inner Kante. Conor excellent again – let’s hope he doesn’t get sold this week.

In part two: Lukaku to Roma; thank fcuk! Squad depth: is it an issue with a bench of youngsters? Petrovic signed; will Poch get another attacker? Cucurella to Utd? Mike Dean is a **** – who knew?

In part three we preview Chelsea v AFC Wimbledon in the Carabao Cup. We kick off with Chidge’s Team selections and ask with 9 players out injured, is there no room for much rotation? We take a look at AFC Wimbledon: memories from past matches and reveal who played for both Chelsea and Wimbledon? We wrap up imploring Poch to take it seriously, after all it's a chance for a trophy, and finally give our predictions.

Chelsea FanCast Preview Show #1008 Aug 24, 2023

Show notes

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Clayton Beerman to preview Chelsea v Luton.

In part one Chidge, JK and Clayton catch up on the latest Chelsea news including Poch’s Presser, Chuk injury latest and what’s going on with the Keeper’s. We also look the transfer window with one week to go and with Chelsea increasing the cost of coaches to away games, is this another sign of penny pinching by the club?

In part two we look ahead to Friday night's match against Luton Town. Chidge gives us his team selection and what he thinks Pochettino will do. Will it be 3:4:2:1 or 4:2:3:1; who replaces Chuk and Mudryk? Where are the goals coming from? We look at Chelsea v Luton fixtures from the past and players who played for both clubs, talking of which will we see the return of Ross Barkley?

We wrap up with our predictions and believe we need both a performance and a result.
