Alex Moss 2,167 Posted August 25, 2011 I don''t think Lambert will give anything away publically on Ayala or team news in general until the last minute - important to keep the opposition guessing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have you watched both of Chelsea''s league matches this season - If you have, you''ll know it would be very arrogant of them to take us for granted, as they''ve hardly pulled up trees. So far, they''ve looked short of ideas and way off the pace of the likes of Man Utd/City - with any luck that''ll continue on Saturday.OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alysha 0 Posted August 26, 2011 Ayala will be out for a couple of months [:(] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Excited Canary 19 Posted August 26, 2011 Yeah, official twitter. ''Injury blow - Daniel Ayala out for a couple of months with knee injury, Wes Hoolahan being monitored''What awful news for the lad! [:(] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetteys Jig 851 Posted August 26, 2011 Guess it''s De Laet and Barnett then...Wes on the bench at best Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ooh Ahh Lee Power 2 Posted August 26, 2011 Glad we have Whitbread back and available!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lincs CR 0 Posted August 26, 2011 SSN indicate 2 months, what a horrible blow for the lad after only just signing as well :( One positive is we have Whitbread back now. Really need to keep these lads fit now with only 3 center backs fit for the following 6 to 8 games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smooth 114 Posted August 26, 2011 All the best for the recovery.That is very rough for him and us.De Laet and Barnett I believe can form a good partnership so at least there may be no troubles on deciding on our back line for a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cantiaci Canary 610 Posted August 26, 2011 This is exactly why we are better off out of the League Cup. What a risky waste of time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bethnal Yellow and Green 2,424 Posted August 26, 2011 I thought Whitbread was our best defender against Stoke, not sure what Barnett has done to come straight back into the team after making a mistake which cost us 2 points - regardless of whether it was a penalty or not, or even an accidental clash, Barnett dallied on the ball and was punished.

Bit unfair to criticise Barnett but not the other two - any defender will make mistakes over the course of a season. We have three very good centre backs who are still adapting to the pace of the Premiership; I don''t think there''s a great deal between the three of them, they all have a great deal of quality IMO.

GJP 79 Posted August 26, 2011 [quote user="Pyro Pete"]Do we know when Ward is due back?[/quote]I''ve heard from more than one person quite recently that he''s on sticks at the moment. Hopefully that''s not the case because you''d have to guess that he''s got a while to go yet before he''s back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ROBFLECK 134 Posted August 26, 2011 Gutted, we''re really looking light at the back now... But we''ll get through it, bloody glad we''re out that cup...just hope we don''t get thrashed by Chelski now. Hope we perform well and get some confidence out of it!!!

can u sit down please 0 Posted August 26, 2011 It was such a lazy tackle. One of the rules of tackling is never go in side footed like her did. It completely opens up the knee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
