RESERVES LIVE ON CHELSEA TV

Posted on: Mon 17 Oct 2011

Chelsea reserves return to action at Cobham this afternoon, entertaining Wolverhampton Wanderers live on Chelsea TV.

Coach Dermot Drummy is hoping his youngsters can return to winning ways on the club's in-house channel from 2pm, and could be boosted by the presence of first-team members.

'We're looking forward to getting back into the games because we thought Villa was a good game with missed chances and we played some good football,' said the coach, whose side were beaten 1-a fortnight ago.

'There's a possibility of a couple of first-teamers involved, depending on how players are coming out of Saturday's game, so we might see someone like Romelu Lukaku figure,' he added.

'Against Aston Villa in the last game we lacked a centre-forward and had to play young Alex Kiwomya, a schoolboy, we now have three to choose from because Marko Mitrovic has trained, Philipp Prosenik is back and also Milan Lalkovic has been recalled from Doncaster so he will come back in and we will have a strong team.'

There is also the possibility of recent schoolboy signing Islam Faruz, a goalscorer in the youth team's 2-1 win at Portsmouth at the weekend playing some part, but Jacob Mellis is a hamstring doubt and Daniel Pappoe-Mills will stay with the youth squad as he builds match fitness.

Likely to start once again is Sam Hutchinson, who continues his comeback having previously retired from the game. Drummy has been hugely impressed by the 22-year-old defender, and cannot praise his attitude enough.

'Hutch is doing fantastic,' he said. 'He's managing himself really well, no one probably knows better than himself, so he's working in line with what the medical staff tells him.

'He's very confident he's really performing well, which is nice, and every game he plays his sharpness is improving and performing to his strengths. He's done really well.'

Hutchinson's calm head will be needed against Wolves, who Drummy admits he knows little about at this level, with focus firmly on his own men rather than the opposition.

'Wolves played on Sunday so may not have first-teamers themselves, they may do, I don't know, but that's irrelevant. We go out to play our way and if we can do that I am sure we can get a result.

'I'm not worried about the Villa game, the character was fine, we could have scored two goals at the end and played against four or five Villa first-teamers. We played some decent football, and we showed fantastic character in that game, which I hope to see again.'

You can see how the second string fare live on Chelsea TV, Sky channel 421, from 2pm. The game is also on CTV Online.

How is it getting on?

Very disappointing. 3-1 down at half time, every one of their goals could be put down to defensive errors. Their first goal in particular, Rhys Taylor should have dealt with easily, the second was a free header in the box from close range. Milan Lalkovic pulled one back after some good work on the left, but to be honest their goalkeeper should have saved the shot, then almost on the stroke of half time Wolves got another following a good enough move, but you'd have to put it down to slack marking in and around the box.

Shame because on paper ours is a strong team.

Lukaku had a good effort while it was still 0-0 but generally he hasn't had a lot of service. We were coming back strongly around the time we scored, making their third even more of a disappointment.

George Saville coming on for Chalobah

Bit of an improvement second half, but not significantly so. Lukaku pulled one back after 55 minutes, but in truth Wolves finished the stronger and could well have snatched a fourth. Sam Hutchinson was taken off with about 15 minutes to go, the suggestion being that he had a touch of cramp. Overall it was a very scrappy game, not helped by the strong wind. In summary their defence made fewer mistakes than ours.

As cam said, ours looked a strong team on paper

I was impressed by this lad Kaby. Strong on the ball and looks like he can run all day. And also, Billy Clifford has good vision. Hope he makes it to the first team in the near future.

As someone else pointed out in another thread, I think Lukaku needs to shed a few pounds and become a lil more agile and quick. He had a couple of delicious through balls and his pace let him down. For a lad of his size he also needs to win more headers. IMO he has a long way to go to become a first team regular.

I've been impressed with Kaby too. Reminds me of Kakuta, but more consistent. Nice quick passing, and change of pace. Mind you he looks about 5....

Guys, does anyone have highlights? Thx in advance! :)

Really strong lineup we put out. Shame to lose, but Lukaku is a new striker that I'd suggest will be hard for these new lads to get used to, he is a bit different to Phillip.

Really happy to see Milan Lalkovic get on the scoresheet. I have really high hopes for him, and I hope he can get a minute or two at some point during the season.

Also I gather that will mean Josh won't be featuring or at least starting against Genk? Bit of a shame.
