We are going to need to play better than that but 2 quality goals from Sandell who so far is proving he is a very good signing indeed.

The scoreline speaks for itself. When you are put under pressure, which Bideford did for the majority of the second half, and you come away with a 2-0 win, it either demonstrates that we are now able to absorb continual pressure, or Bideford could not finish. A mixture of both I feel. We look a lot more composed side than we did last season, with Preecy and Tinds colossal in the middle. Andy's 2 goals speak for themselves, with the second an absolute thunderbolt to seal the victory. People still keep saying he is not a striker, but any striker would have been proud of that second goal finish. COYB

A relief to read the other posts because I thought I would be criticised for being negative. An indifferent performance against a team who exhaused their shooting skills on Saturday sandwiched between 2 very good goals - the 2nd possibly the best I have seen from a Chippenham player. I also wondered about Sandell coming on board as a striker and remembered his former brief run in a Chippenham shirt when he did little to show the talent he is now displaying. Long may his success continue - let's hope he doesn't get injured! 

I equally was very disappointed at the crowd last night, although I have to say it looked more than 235 ! As a Bluesbar Comittee member, I am at a loss as to what we as a club and committee can do to encourage more people to come along. As inthebox rightly says, hopefully our good start will encourage more thro' the turnstiles on Saturday. It's very odd because off the field our social events, i.e. quiz nights and bingo nights, and Friday/Saturday night opening are well attended, so you deduce from that support for the team would improve. As a 'heads-up' to all CTFC supporters, we will be trialing starting in the Autumn on a nominated Satuday evening, a theme food evening, for example a Mexican Night and an Italian Night. So if you fancy something other than Fish & Chips for your supper on a Saturday evening, watch the match day progammes, and posters in the Clubhouse for details.
