Maidstone

Cant complain about the performance of the players today, up against a very decent team. Just a shame we didn't get that penalty at the end- poor ref today.

Re: Maidstone

That was a stonewall penalty and how he didn't give it I'll never know. The keeper took Dabre right out and in my opinion it should have been a straight red as well as a penalty.

Re: Maidstone

Penalty all day long,unfortunately two people (ref and assistant) didn’t think it was.If Dabre dived then surely the ref should have booked him, but I would think that Dabre wasn’t in the refs good book for his earlier challenge.Maidstone where very physical and strong especially there 4 and 18, so lack of height was always going to be a issue.Thought for last 10 minutes it might have been worth putting Will Richards up front.

Re: Maidstone

Agree with Chris43, from where I was it looked an obvious penalty but would like to see it on the highlights. Very entertaining game on a nice afternoon. I thought our makeshift squad did themselves proud against a very professional team, never giving up and giving there all. Would also comment the pitch looked great.

Re: Maidstone

Very few of the referee's decisions went our way. I don't know whether he was just taking the easy option because of Maidstone's large following. For me, it was definitely a penalty.

Overall the attendance of 707 was a big improvement, but there were probably more away fans than there were Chippenham fans, so actually meant another worrying drop in our support. There were some big gaps behind the goal we were attacking.

Re: Maidstone

Impressive performance from on loan keeper, not sure where he is from because I could not find any info on social media. Some good saves and always looking for  quick distribution to forwards. I liked the way he bossed Chippenham defence with not wanting to playi out short and wanted to get ball up field .
Best of luck to him in future

Re: Maidstone

If that's the best the league has to offer then we don't have too much to fear in the coming weeks and playoffs if we make them. Certainly looks promising for next season if we can work out how to beat the rubbish teams too.

Re: Maidstone

An excellent second half against arguably the leagues strongest  side.
Two nailed on penalties not given. I think the first one was even more obvious than the Dabre one. Where the Chippenham Ladd was hauled down in instalments. I was stood right behind the linesman and he saw exactly what I saw. And he bottled it. The officials we’re really poor today except the young ginger linesman. Who did ok. But the ref and second linesman were so poor. As bad as we’ve ever had. Could have been lots of Maidstone bookings today as they tried to bully our youngsters all afternoon. And Dabre  perhaps lucky to stay on the pitch for his challenge. But proud of the way we fought and battled especially in the second half. But the fans have deserted in there droves after watching really poor home performances week after week earlier in the season. Shame. As some really good performances recently. Especially against the top sides. Real shame about today as a play off place is there for any one of about 5 or 6  sides  just heard Mike Cook has gone  mutual consent apparently   😎

Re: Maidstone

A good team performance and thought the on loan keeper was very good. Maidstone were not a good footballing side but very organised in conning the ref, time wasting and bullying our players. The referee and assistant on the side of the dug outs were very poor. As already mentioned why was Will Richards not played up front last 20 minutes.
