'An Air of Resignation' Chelsea FanCast #969 Feb 27, 2023

Show notes

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Martin Wickham to review another Chelsea match and another defeat, but this one, to Spurs, is indefensible.

In part one, we look at Potter's team selection and bemoan Chelsea being incapabale of scoring. It seems an air of resignation has set in with the supporters. When we concede it's game over. Why are Chelsea so poor in adversity? No goals, no fight, no clue, it's a case of wash, rinse, repeat with nothing changing and we ask what’s the point?

In part two, we ask why not play James and Chilwell at wing back, now we have 5 centre backs available? We discuss the strange rescinding of Ziyech's red card. Applaud Mount for being the only player who seems to get it and for showing some fight. We face up to the fact that 'it’s relegation form folks isn’t it' and why should we accept the process if the process is the wrong process? And for that matter, why should the owners?

Happy days, not!

Chelsea FanCast Preview Show #968 Feb 24, 2023

Show notes

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Tony Glover and Football.London's Chelsea Correspondent Adam Newson to catch up on the Chelsea news and preview Spurs v Chelsea.

In part one we give an appreciation of legendary football commentator, John Motson, who for many of us was the voice of football when we were growing up. Adam and JK report on Potter’s Presser and we ask what does Potter need to do to turn it round; what happens if he wins or loses next 3 matches and how much are Boehly and Co culpable for the current mess?

In part two, Chidge reveals his team selection for the Spurs match. Should Potter go back to his Dortmund selection? Should Mount and James play as they get the himportance of the fixture. Will Conte's absence be agood or bad thing for Chelsea? Will beating Spurs help Potter in getting the fans on side and will he be able to get the players at it and up for it? We wrap up with out predictions for the match.

'Potterful' Chelsea FanCast #966 Feb 20, 2023

Show notes

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Dean Mears to look back at a dreadful defeat at home to bottom of the league Southampton.

In part one we discuss an indefensible performance, devoid of inspiration. Did Potter make too many changes? Is no consistency of selection hampering progress and has Potter been hamstrung by the need to protect players coming back from injury. There was no pattern, no organisation, no finishing and no clue and all this against a Southampton team bottom of the league, with an awful record and no manager. Simply unacceptable.

Arguably of more concern was the injury to Cesar Azpilicueta who recieved a terrible kick in the head thanks to a badly directed overhead kick. .Our best wishes go to 'Dave' for a speedy recovery.

And Chidge & JK have come up with a couple of songs to cheer you up or depress you further...

In part two we ask is Potters out of his depth; not elite level and not the leader or personality Chelsea needs? Is he wasting players? I.e., making them worse? He’s lost the match day support; if he loses to Spurs, Leeds and then BVB knock us out of the Champions' League, surely his position is untenable.

We could argue he should go now but who could/should replace him - temporarily and/or permanently? And how much of this is on Boehly and Co? Are they stubborn or clueless?

And a timely reminder that whilst it may be truly depressing on the pitch, off the pitch before and after remains as the main joy of following our club. The definition of a great day out ruined by 90 minutes of football.

Chelsea FanCast Preview Show #965 Feb 17, 2023

Show notes

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Mark Meehan and from The Athletic, Liam Twomey to look back at Chelsea's defeat to Borussia Dortmund and ahead to the atch against Southampton on Saturday.

In part one we discuss a horrible result, but a good performance and Mark’s experience of the Signal Iduna Park and the 'Yellow Wall'. Nine, nein, nein, as Chelsea just cannot put their chances away and the new boys and returnees beginning to make a difference and our hopes for the second leg. And Liam provides great insight with the media's view of Potter and his press conferences.

In part two we discuss Chidge's team selection versus Potter's team selection. Saints are bottom, relegation bound, and have no manager – stop me if you’ve heard this before...

We ask how do Chelsea solve their goal drought and we wrap up with our predictions.

“The Hand of Sod” Chelsea FanCast #963 Feb 13, 2023

Show notes

Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Dayne Whittle to look back at the 1-1 draw against West Ham and ahead to Wednesday's Champions' League match away to Borussia Dortmund.

In part one we discuss a promising start fading and dying; Felix looking the real deal; did Cheek and Fernandes work and why didn't Cucurella and Mudryk not work? And should we be worried by James not yet looking back to his best.

In part two VAR screws us again and should Potter have reacted more aggressivley to it? Joe Cole thought so. With Chelsea's form still not good enough, there are signs of improvement but are we being unrealistically impatient with Ponderous Platitudinous Potter?

And in Part three we preview the match against Borussia Dortmund, talking to Ben McFadyean who runs the Borussia Dortmund London Supporters Club. We discuss BVB likely team selection, form and what the experience of Dortmund is like?

We wrap up with Chidge’s team selection and how we see the match going.
