Saw us at our very best and our very worst throughout that one- generally a very good performance and a deserved win against one of the weaker teams in the league but a lot of silly mistakes. Some quality attacking play though and what a way to win it.

Was an interesting line up with Young Andrews and Pele coming in. With Grant, Parsons and Johnson dropping to the bench. Make of that what you will.
But prefer to see us more adventurous when at home and play 2 up front.
We could have easily been 3 down in the first 20 mins, given no time to settle but after that it was all us and could have gone in at half time 3-1 up.
Nearly gave the game away against the run of play with a silly mistake.
We definitely need to be more clinical but some great goals from Matt and AAH
If only we had AAH fit for a whole season.

Us at our best and our worst. We almost contrived to lose a game that we controlled from the 20th minute. A gift wrapped second goal for Enfield saw the Horgan water ball hit the ground with such force that it bounced back up nearly a metre.What a difference AAH made up front, though, (the wonder goal aside). Suddenly the likes of Parsons, TOE, Dawes and Tyreke had something to feed off. Great goal from McClure ( who looked more dangerous than I'd seen him in a long time) and a fine collective goal ending in a TOE finish.
But as spectators, we do get put through it.. with some sloppy passing in critically dangerous positions.. Good referee (unlike the Maidstone game) and impressive travelling support. Prefer to see Will King at left back rather than in midfield. TOE had one of his more impressive games. Dawes and Colwell caused them all sorts of problems down the right. Haines pretty well faultless at the back. Spokes, once again, far more effective when he is in the centre of things. An important 3 points especially after having to come from behind twice... and hopefully some lessons learned about passing dangerously across your own penalty area when you didn't need to??

Listened to AAH on radio on today’s game.Said get the ball to him as quickly as possible and things will happen.Until 2-3 seasons ago he was a striker.Same as last season when he goes up front things do happen.You can’t do anything about individual mistakes.A ball given away at the back that costs a goal we talk about it with disgust.A forward misses a easy chance it’s soon forgotten about. At the end of the day a entertaining game and we get three points.Don’t forget fa cup draw midweek, Wembley beckons again for us.

A game of many emotions, what a way to win the game though from AAH. Very poor defending for their 2nd. Chippenham had a few decent chances late on, was a good game of football. McClure could have had a hat-trick on another day.Some good defending at the back aerially Chippenham were strong.
Where were the security in the bar at the end of game? Should have stopped the three Enfield fans from going in who proceeded to antagonise Chippenham fans and went in there with the pure intention of causing trouble, lacklustre stewarding/security again.

Good to see some goals today and 3 points gained from a difficult - albeit self inflicted position. Lessons around overplaying at the back are never learned, so no doubt conceding silly goals will continue to be a theme of the season. Didn't see the managers reaction to the gifted goal but as this way of playing is encouraged any frustration is probably at the execution rather than the daft idea of playing across the penalty area in the first place!!
Thought Dawes was good again today - always involved and always wants the ball either on the right or when he drifts inside. Quite aggressive as well and his understanding on the right with Colwell especially first half was a positive and looked to be something that could develop.

Very entertaining game of football today with an (obviously) great finish. Team selection baffling as usual, but I accept that we very often don't know about players injuries/fitness. I didn't hear the attendance given out but it looked healthy (boosted by a good few from Enfield). Nearly all the team played well, and I found it difficult to choose between AAH and Will Dawes for MOTM, both showed their class today.

The more I watch Aaron’s goal the better it gets.Hope Jake Andrew’s is ok, went off looking in a bit off discomfort.
