Drove back North yesterday - my thoughts on the Chelski game!

Thoroughly enjoyable day out, except for the result. Best atmosphere inside the Carra for many a day.

Great banter in 'the Pit' and echos of the Jackson goal vs Derby when we scored.

Thought that overall we played well and deserved at least a point.

Team selection was on the button as were the substitutions and their timing in my opinion.

Tettey, Fer and Howson should be our first choice midfield three. With the exception of Tettey's f**k up for the second Chelsea goal, they were great.

Olsson is much better than Garrido just now!

Snods is not at the races at the moment and we should start with Pilks and Redmond out wide.

Our build up, play is still too slow - we need to counter attack and get the ball forward more quickly and get in more first time crosses a la Olsson for our goal.

Definite pen for the Pilks incident early in the 2nd half and on another day we might have had two - when RVW was brought down.

Did anyone else think that Ba controlled the ball with his hand in the lead up to the opening goal.

The ref was total and utter garbage, it'll be too soon if he never refs us again!
