Just got back.....

I wasn't at the match either so relied on Sky's 'experts', blogs and club audio - but it sounded to me too that we competed and were in it until the last 10-12 minutes after the pelanty. Most of the newspaper match reports I have seen have been fairly positive about us too. The Guardian aren't usually very friendly (they go for the lazy cliches about Warnock's style) but this time it is more encouraging, and a lot of the comments from Chelsea fans are also complimentary:

Absolutely.
Chelsea were clearly the better side and some of their football was scintillating, however we created a number of chances and were unlucky with a couple of decisions leading up to the 2nd goal.

Bamba’s silly challenge killed us of with nlt a few minutes left.

Even then we were still unlucky not to pull another back.

2 or more probably 3 one.. as per the expected goals would have been a fairer reflection
