CHIPPENHAM TOWN BLUEBIRDS FANS FORUM

Given the amount of blood, sweat, toil and tears expended on yesterday's game,  perhaps it ought to be dignified by a thread of its own.
A collector's item now----- back-to-back Home wins... and these last 2 more impressive than the Bath & Slough   6 points.
It seems that we have at last found a way to win... battling defence, much quicker distribution  and seized opportunities, albeit at the death. As everyone has mentioned, the return of Freddie Grant has been quite seismic in the back 4/5 ( we played both yesterday).  Suddenly our discipline, close marking and attacking of the ball have improved significantly.  The wing-back " conundrum" persists with continued permutations of King, Colwell, SWS. Lewis was given a really tough time by their No 11 yesterday but stood up to it successfully in the end.
What has  changed dramatically is our tendency to move sideways.  We're now much much quicker at trying to release the front-runners.  This often leads to some wayward passing ( as there was yesterday!)... but in percentage terms   we are scaring  more defences  far more often that we did in the first half of the season when they were given a shed load of time to re group and reset thanks to our  ponderous build-ups. 
As Oldman rightly says, we have only  won 2 battles... not The War..... but have got ourselves back in touch and now and have our destiny firmly in our own hands. Keep playing as we have done in the last 5 days and we give ourselves a more than decent chance of survival. The return of Reece Fleet can only help the cause.
Quick shout-out to the ground staff.  Given the dreadful weather.. the pitch on Tuesday night .. and yesterday,  was in fantastic condition and played beautifully.  Well done.
