I'm strangely nervous about us getting a result at Forest this weekend.
I know they can't win a game under Ange but it would be typical Chelsea to come off the back of a good performance and then lose.
Anyway, I think Forest have some very good players, particularly in midfield.
Will be interesting to see what players are back from injury and of course Chalaboa from suspension but I would be tempted to start with Badiashile and Josh.
COME ON MY MIGHTY BLUES.

It's a game we will obviously befirm favourites to win and Forest have been plummeting twards the relegation zone but we all now the unpredictablity of the EPL.
But despite not wanting to jinx us with optimistic prediction I would eexpect a fairy comfortable away win given their form of late, the boost of vctory v Liverpool, TC back plus some others (Tosin? Fofana? Santos? ) perhaps after injury (though Josh and BB did v well together) and v importantly fact that likes of Caicedo, Pedro and James spared from International duty. and EM has had plenty of time to prepare with fair numnber of likely starters for the Forest game. He and squad in general must see this as a must win league game to help continue post LFC game momentum. Otherwise all the doubts about our season and possibility of Champions League spot come end of it will be back in droves.
KTBFFH.

I’m always nervous about Chelsea games lately. It would be nice to see us get a decent run going starting with NF.

Do agree that CFC has been so up and down in EPL in recent seasons that it is hard ever to be anything other than uncertain or nervous before a game. So hoping too that we can put a run together. Had posted after Brighton defeat that was hoping that turnaround and more consistency in season ahead would come with beating both Benfica and Liverpool in the week ahead. Well we managed that but absolutely need to keep momentum going v Forest away. Oh, and not have a fifth red card in a row after Maresca's one after run down touchline to celebrate Estevao goal earned him a secondd yellow. Discipline has been a problem in recent games and we must have picked up more cards than most others in EPL though haven't checked the stats.

JBS, we are second to Brighton in the disciplinary table although they have no red cards. Last season we only had two red cards but topped the table for yellows with an incredible 99.

Interesting stats Jimbo if a tad worrying!
