RESERVE REPORT: BOLTON WANDERERS 1 CHELSEA 2
Posted on: Tue 08 Mar 2011
A good couple of days for Chelsea in Lancashire were completed when the
reserves scored in each half and then survived a late revival by the home
side.
Todd Kane was on-target from close range before Fabio Borini (pictured)
struck a special second, Bolton having wasted a penalty when the game was
scoreless. They did find the net on 89 minutes of a game held at the
Lancashire FA ground in Leyland.
Fresh from his sub appearance against Blackpool yesterday, Josh McEachran
stayed up north to start his sixth reserve game of the season.
His presence was welcome in a team that had lost Michael Woods to an ankle
injury and Gokhan Tore to suspension following a red card in the last
outing away to Villa. Of the scorers in that 2-2 draw, Nathaniel Chalobah
was moved into midfield for this game and Adam Phillip was once again on
the bench where he was joined by Marko Mitrovic making a welcome return.
Last season's Youth Cup top scorer had been out all season with injury.
The Chelsea attack was initially spearheaded by Milan Lalkovic with Fabio
Borini playing a little deeper than the Slovakian.
Bolton, who had JLloyd Samuel and Tamir Cohen providing levels of
first-team experience missing from the Chelsea team, were the stronger
team at the start of the game.
Sam Walker had to save with his legs from Tom Eaves after five minutes and
it took some good hold-up play from Todd Kane at right-back to keep the
strong-running Eaves away from goal as Bolton applied what pressure there
was in the first quarter of an hour.
Cohen shot wide before Chelsea at last put an incisive move together
midway through the half. It was Lalkovic's pass across the front of the
area that opened the space and Billy Clifford should probably have scored
but the diving keeper was able to save with his legs.
Bolton then survived when Borini almost latched onto a bad back pass by
Mark Connolly.
On 28 minutes, Chelsea escaped twice; the first time when Cohen headed a
corner against the crossbar and then when the ref pointed to the spot for
a push as the ball bounced back. Eaves hit a very tame penalty low which
Walker was able to save to his right.
Chelsea had switched formation to 4-3-3 with Borini in the middle and
Lalkovic and Clifford wide by the 35th minute when the first goal came. It
was Lalkovic again playing a key part in the move with a back heel down
the wing. Overlapping left-back Ryan Bertrand, playing his second reserve
game since returning from his lengthy time away on loan, crossed hard into
the six-yard box where Borini and Kane were both waiting. The 17-yard-old
right-back the one to turn the left-back's ball over the line.
Danny Pappoe preserved the lead soon after, clearing Obadeyi's shot off
the line.
Before the break, Borini rocketed a shot just over the bar after Clifford
had headed down when well spotted by Kaby.
There was a Chelsea change for the second half. Todd Kane came off which
meant Billy Clifford dropping to right-back and Adam Phillip coming on to
play wide of the front three.
Borini was off target in the early stages of the second half but it proved
to be a sighter for one of the reserve goals of the season. Taking the
ball centrally, from 25 yards out he rifled it past Rob Lainton who had no
chance of saving it. That was with 62 minutes played and it was the
Italian's 13th goal in eight reserve appearances.
As with the first goal, Chelsea could have conceded moments later, this
time when a free-kick from out wide caught Walker needing to back-peddle
fast. He tipped the ball onto his crossbar. Michael O'Halloran then missed
with a good Bolton chance.
Mitrovic's return to action was for the final 15 minutes, Lalkovic the one
replaced, but the next opportunity was for Bolton, Eaves turning and
shooting over, closely policed by Pappoe.
Mitrovic did get involved, playing in a near-post ball that a stretching
Phillip turned over and Bolton missed a late chance too before with a
minute of normal time remaining, Eaves curled a shot around Walker to pull
one back. Nerves jangled as another home chance went begging and four
minutes of stoppage time had already been completed when Walker had to
make an important save from a free-kick struck around the wall.
That's two wins and two draws in the last four games for the second string
who now enter the busiest period of their season.
'We started 4-4-2 and they played 4-4-2 and we couldn't get control of the
game as they pressured us,' said reserve team manager Steve Holland.
'So we changed to 4-3-3 and that improved it with the extra player in
midfield. Josh McEachran started to get on the ball more. We did have some
problems with Bolton's long balls and headers but we dealt with that
better in the second half and got our play going more.
'The first goal was a good combination and the second was a fantastic
strike from Fabio. With two or three minutes to go we looked comfortable
and I was looking forward to a clean sheet because we haven't had many but
a shot got deflected in which made the end more hairy, but I was pleased
with the lads as seven of the youth team started and George Saville came
on as well.
'Marko Mitrovic had not played since the Youth Cup Final last year due to
a damaged ankle and he has worked tirelessly to get back and he will feel
better for getting on the pitch.'
