It wasn't until right at the end of the game that a few of us realised we only had 10 players on the pitch. Was therefore surprised to read that we had only 10 players from the 65th minute ( bit difficult to keep track with all the substitutions). Slightly puzzled as surely the point of these friendlies is to give the players time on the pitch and effectively those 25 minutes was a lost opportunity. OK used all the subs at half time but bit silly not to keep one or two in their kit for the second half in the event someone, asĀ happened, went off with a knock. Also I think a bit disrespectful to the opposition not playing with 11.

Spoke to one of the players who was going to go back on in the second half as in previous games, unfortunately the ref and Calne would not allow.

Reginald 74 thanks for clearing that up. Good to know nothing to do with Chippenham. Still, strange decision by the ref as often see players coming off and going back on in pre season friendlies. Also strange why Calne wouldn't allow it as would have given them a tougher game.
