From TheChels.info - The Chelsea Football Club Wiki

With the coming of the 1945-46 season the F. A. Cup was re-instated, although the Football League was yet to re-commence. In addition the Football Combination was again up and running for the reserve teams.

It would appear that there were 16 matches unplayed.
At least, this is the fullest table that I have been able to find.
