Is it correct that the powers that be are relocating "fans" to face the camara's so grounds look full. |  | |  |

I mean just look at this nonsense. Surprised Delap isn’t starting to be honest. I’ve never seen any pre season game be this bad in attendance terms! — (@chelseachemist1.bsky.social) 2025-06-16T19:08:17.427Z |  |

First involvement is shoving the defender and giving away a foul haha. |  |

He's passed the ball more times in ten minutes than he did in an hour playing for Town. |  | |  |

Maybe needing runners from midfield to use as some people suggested wasn't crazy. SB |  | |  |

That's because he had other players supporting him, at Town he invariably found himself up field on his own. His assist came about from a midfielder playing a ball into space for him, rarely had that from a Town midfielder |  | |  |

Put pacy players around him and he will do well. He will find it a lot easier in a better side. Sadly for us. |  | |  |

that midfielder is worth about a 100m more than any of ours, so no great surprise! given the mismatch in teams tonight, it reminded me a little of us v teams like exeter in the league one promotion season |  |

Our defence was pretty awful last season, but without a doubt our biggest weakness was a midfield that was nowhere near Premier league quality. Delap will thrive in that Chelsea team. Just hope during this transfer window we can get a much better midfield. |  |
