We needed to go there with our first 11 and that meant having Higgy, Ethers and Ryan available. We are not good enough to beat Chelsea with any other line up. We had to play at the top of our game and although we've been ok thats not good enough to beat Chelsea.

Yes, our squad simply isn't deep enough in terms of quality. Ethers is the biggest miss I think.

It's not that we haven't turned up. It's that Chelski - probably more than any of the other top sides - can handle our physical presence.
We have made a couple of decent half chances and had one hacked off the line. Let's face it, Cheslski haven't had that many shots. They've probably scored 2 out of 5.
No disgrace going out to this lot.
ah

Cleared off the line early doors from whitehead!!!! Had that gone in , which 9 times out of 10 it would, this surely would have been a different game!!
But yes Tunny hasnt been up to much for a few weeks now!! And as said previous Abdy doesnt look a patch on last season for some reason???

We've really missed Etherington.
God I hope he fit for the next league game.
Collins has done fine thus far - however we REALLY have missed Ryan or Higginbotham in the middle in place of Faye.
I can't believe how shite Faye has been so far this season compared to last.

Fair comments - we have had chances - my mistake, but you are right Chelsea are the team that can handle us.

We've done ok but as i have said thats just not good enough. We needed our better players to have blinders. Fullers done nowt and Tuncay has simply been awful. I still do not see this obsession with Sidibe.

It is all shaping up nicely for goals in the 90th and 93rd minutes! ;D

We've had a real good run in this competition in terms of opposition. We must be proud of how we've faced this given how we usually react to cups. There's always next year ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/800541/images/KYqg3pYeaerc5lD_P7BR.gif)

The infamous 'snatch it in injury time' tactic - like it - good one Centurion.

Although we've been outplayed today, we certainly look like a team who are deserving of our place in this league even with a weakened team.
Onwards and upwards guys!

Get one now Stoke - to make it worth staying up 'till 2am and drinking two bottles of wine, 4 cans of lager and knowing I'll not be chipper for work in the mornin'.

I've seen us go out to Nuneaton. I've seen us go out to Coventry. I've seen us go out to Blythe Bloody Spartans. All of them the wrong side of the quarter finals. Let's be a little bit proud of how well we have done this year. For a great many Stokies, this is as far as they have ever seen us get in this cup. Let's face it, it's been a hell of a long time since I got this excited about us in a cup competition. A great effort this year, but in the end, after Arse and Citeh, Chelski was one big club too far. Back to concentrating on - those last six points in - the league ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/800541/images/KYqg3pYeaerc5lD_P7BR.gif) ah

Good effort all round in the cup. Compare who we've had to play and that was Chelsea's first game v Prem opposition.
Didn't disgrace at all today
