Last season's near misses fire up Scolari's squad
Ray Wilkins believes last term's disappointments have made Chelsea a dangerous beast this season.
Chelsea endured a 2007/08 campaign of near misses after finishing runners-up to Manchester United in the race for the Premier League.
United also beat Chelsea on penalties in the UEFA Champions League, with the Blues having earlier lost the Carling Cup final to Tottenham after extra time.
Under new boss Luiz Felipe Scolari, the Blues have made an encouraging start to the new season and sit top of the table.
New assistant first-team coach Wilkins has been impressed by the players' determination and expects silverware to arrive at Stamford Bridge.
Determination
"This is why I think we'll be so dangerous this year, because the players are smarting from last year," said Wilkins in the
Daily Mirror.
"The first day I walked in I could see the determination.
"Chelsea are a bunch of winners, but were second in the Premier League, lost the Champions League final and lost the final of the Carling Cup.
"No wonder they're smarting."
