MATCH REPORT

On a very wet and windy Pride Park Chelsea slumped to their third defeat in 3 games.

We never deserved to win the game, and were lucky not to be at least 5-1 down in the first half.

Too many players were rubbish today and Leboeuf up until he was injured had a nightmare.

Ok when we lost Leboeuf and Hogh due to injuries we had to do a lot of reshaping  in defence but that is no excuse for this inept performance.

The only players commited out there were Zola and Babayaro who I thought had a excellent game.

Where was that prat SUTTON all afternoon, surely Luca needs to off load him while we can still get some money for him.

A miserable afternoon for everybody and big questions to be asked about this totally rubbish performance.
