Take the coaching set-up for example. Paul Clement, a few months ago was Academy coach. He is now working with the first team. Dermot Drummy was coaching the U16s and is now looking after the reserves.

Mark Beeney has now been trusted with the fortunes of the Academy side and on Saturday morning he got off to a flier as the Academy beat Ipswich Town, 3-0.

First-half goals from schoolboys Aziz Deen Conteh and Rohan Ince put the Academy 2-0 up at half-time and in the second-half Marko Mitrovic got the faintest of touches to round off a successful morning for the travelling Blues.

Beeney said after his first match in charge, "We scored two against the run of play when they made a point of running themselves into the ground, getting close to us and stopping us from playing, and we were fortunate to go in two up, but I'll take that for a first game in charge.

"From half-time onwards the boys got the ball down and kept it a lot better, moving it a lot quicker which made it harder for Ipswich to get close to us. The player getting sent off and scoring the third goal finished the game off and from there we completely took control of the game."

Chelsea: Aldi Haxhia, Nikki Ahamed, Tom Hayden, Jack Saville, Jordan Tabor, Danny Philliskirk (c), Josh McEachran (Jacopo Sala 81), Rohan Ince, Milan Lalkovic, Marko Mitrovic (Adam Phillip 85), Aziz Deen Conteh.

Very good point re the boot room growth in the ranks of our reserves, youth and U16 teams.

Some names there I don´t recognise -look forward to seeing them play.
