Re: REPORT: Four more goals for Chelsea as they win again at the Turf
Couldn't see any game plan yesterday. And our inability to get the ball away at goal kicks and retain possession was both farcical and wholly inadequate. Might have helped if Trafford didn't keep passing the ball to his team mates heels instead of in front of them.

Perhaps the worst defeat I've seen for a long time. The 20 mins. or so either side of half time were appalling. They looked like they would score every time they attacked. Our passing was poor and ball retention even worse. 2-5 and a proper mauling.
