Mineiro Set to Start for the Reserves
By Since66
November 3 2008
Mineiro makes a start for the reserves tonight at Griffin Park against an extemely strong looking Stoke side. The game kicks-off at 7pm and there will be updates on the message board. Mineiro played for fifteen minutes on Saturday in the 5-0 thrashing of Sunderland and he will be keen to get some more match practice after his long long lay-off from action after he left Hertha Berlin.

Scott Sinclair and Miroslav Stoch both start as does Fabio Borini who will be looking to keep up his wonderful scoring streak.

Mineiro 1

Stoke have eleven players that have got first team experience lining up tonight including Tom Soares, Michael Tonge, Cort, Richard Cresswell and Steve Simonsen, so Rhys Taylor, Jeffrey Bruma and Liam Bridcutt can expect to have an extremely busy night, although we hope they do not.

NEWSFLASH:

Ashley Cole has been ruled out for the next seven to ten days with a small tear in his thigh muscle.

Chelsea: Rhys Taylor, Nana Ofori-Twumasi, Jeffrey Bruma, Liam Bridcutt, Ben Gordon, Michael Woods, Mineiro, Jacob Mellis, Miroslav Stoch, Fabio Borini, Scott Sinclair.

Subs: Nick Heimann, Tom Taiwo, Sergio Tejera, Ricardo Fernandes, Morten Nielsen

 

Stoke: Simonsen, Wilkinson, Dickinson, Pugh, Cort, Sonko, Soares, Whelan, Cresswell, Pericard, Tonge

Subs: Phillips, St Louis-Hamilton, McDonald, Moult, Wedderburn

Stoke not mucking around then!

Surely they´d want to give more of their kids a chance? Or are a lot of these first teamers very young anyway?

..and Stoke beat Arsenal reserves in their last game so could be an interesting match.

Imagine if Wenger had to combat Ian Hutchinson? He´d be slating us in the media for such tactics ...and with it being Chelsea the media would have joined in!

Ol Windmill arms!

I met him once, told him I used to watch him and he replied "No you didn´t!" "I said yes I did!" (it went on like that 2-3 times!!!) Told him I was only a boy...and he just looked at me...maybe thought I was pulling his leg!

Felt quite annoyed for a while afterwards and fustrated that one of my heros may have thought I was lying to him!

Oh well...

Not creating chances but we are playing football and we are trying to pass our way around Stoke's defence, but don't forget this Stoke team is very experienced.

Setting an example

Although suspended, Carl Magnay is with the squad and warmed-up and has just said 'injured or suspended I would rather be involved then sit at home.'

Well done Carl

Of the two I prefer Magnay, take nothing away from Mancienne he is a good player, but there is something more that Magnay has got, like he can play at left back and has done most of this season.
