CHIPPENHAM TOWN BLUEBIRDS FANS FORUM

Direct quotation from the D&R Fans Forum:- "Chippenham had enough chances to win two games - they had a strong claim for a penalty in the 1st half (I was standing behind the 4th official and he said he would have given it!) Also two shots from point blank range where they hit it straight at Howes; another one early in the 2nd half lobbed over Howes but slowly enough for Dieng to clear off the line.

Our goal came from a goalkeeping clanger. Haigh swung in a high free kick from the left, the goalie came out to claim unchallenged but dropped it at the feet of Andy Carroll, who smashed it in the top corner from a tight angle.

For once we managed to survive 8 minutes of stoppage time. A win is a win, but we were outplayed for most of the game and very lucky to come away with anything."

The points situation confirms, starkly, that we are in big trouble; the demeanour and quality of our play ( inconsistent as it is) suggests that we are more than capable of digging our way out of this. Still 32 games to go.
Thought the midfield looked much more influential and creative with Mehew and Caine in harness and Fleet doing so much quiet, efficient clearing up and ball winning behind them. Colwell has made a big step forward ( he was very good at Torquay apparently)  Parsons looked anything but rusty despite 3 months out and Harrison seemed much more comfortable on the right side of the pitch. Maybe we were looking at a more settled starting eleven.... including TOE of course when he returns. And then there's Freddie in the wings..
Most of those around us felt they'd seen an encouraging performance... and certainly not a 6- points-adrift- and-sinking display.

Surely enough is enough for the management team.
We have taken 1 point from the last 6 games which in no uncertain terms is not good enough.
It’s time for chairman and board to make the decision to replace management team

If the management team are still there at the end of the week I will seriously consider stopping going to games. Why should we be paying out good money to watch a team managed by a clueless management team play crap football.
Could the chairman/board please do the decent thing and put them and us out of our misery.

Good recovery tonight to pull back from 0-2 but not good enough. 3 points needed against our nearest rivals and so if Plan B exists it needs to be implemented.
