Full credit to Chelsea, who stifled us for 75 minutes and nicked a pair of nice but fortunate goals. They started cruising a little early, though, and Rice pounced on a horrible pass from the keeper to get us within one, and Trossard finished beautifully a wonderful cross from Saka. The Gunners were sloppy in possession and couldn't generate much on offense, largely because Cucurella did a great job on Saka. I was mentally composing this blog post at the hour mark and was going to write how Chelsea deserved the three points, but then we found another gear and Chelsea tired. Considering the opposition and the circumstances, I call this a point gained rather than two dropped. We'll be in third after the Spuds play, but in the mix and undefeated.
Notts County beat Gillingham 2-1 away, and remains near the top of the League 2 table. It would be spectacular for them to be promoted again, but it's enough just to know they're competitive and certain to stay in the league.

ReplyDeleteBad showing for CP today, losing 0-4. No offensive punch and a leaky defense. Too many people injured, but that is no excuse for such a poor outing.
ReplyDeleteFrom the highlights, it looks as though it could have been worse, too. Too easy for the Saudi Geordies.
