Difficult one to predict, if we play like Tuesday we will probably lose. However I think we can get something from the game so will also go for a draw.
Good news about Harrison Minturn. Unfortunately another defender, but you can't have everything..........
I have to agree Chipp54 we have to find ourselves a goal scorer or two! It’s obvious from recent games that we also lack height up front,

Interesting to see Hendon’s keeper was sent off today. At the time the score was 0-0. Bottom of the table Hendon went on to lose 6-0 against then second from bottom Plymouth Parkway. Meanwhile Met Police put four past Salisbury at the Ray Mac. It’s a funny old game. We just have to hang on in there.
Have family about an hour away from Tonbridge so made a last minute decision to go and watch with my nephew.
Tonbridge had a bit more of the ball in the early exchanges and scored just after we starting to get the ball.
From then on in we had all the ball and chances. Bradbury brought a great save out of the keeper, a last ditch block denied Mehew, another trickled wide from a cross.
Second half more of the same, all the ball, Harvey missed 3 almost identical headers, Bradbury had an effort saved, Russe shot just wide and then at the end two players got in the way of each other.
They maybe had 4/5 shots all game. Goals conceded were poor. Minturn came on and looked rusty. Badly need to sort this goal scoring problem out though. Our new striker was on the bench but can only presume he isn’t fit or Gary has lost his brain by not bringing him on.

He got injured at Hendon, took a nasty knock to the ankle. Hopefully back soon as he looked useful.

Fairly level headed and down the middle Tonbridge fan here - I could not let this pass. I have never read such nonsense in my life.
Anyone who didn't go, don't let this post get your hopes up. From a Tonbridge point of view, this was our first game in ages that from the first ( early) goal we all rested easy. At no point did it feel in doubt. Chippenham had a few chances don't get me wrong, the highlights show that. Saying you had the majority of the ball though - what were you watching? We played some decent football, but the majority of your possession was knocking it around the back four. Lots of goals scored there.. possession was 50 / 50 if not more in our favour.
4 / 5 shots on target ? What do you want, 20 shots? We converted two great bits of passing football where we cut through your back 4 like knife through hot butter. We didn't concede for the first time this season.
I rarely post on away forums but just could not believe this post.
Good luck for the rest of the season and I hope you stay up, genuinely mean that.

See Hendon had yet another red card last night although this time they won 2-3 at Hartley Wintney They must be going for some kind of record.

That last sentence sums up your whole post. We made the play offs last season and you’re hoping we stay up after a game in October. Total nonsense.
