Yeh they won against Lemington granted;but didn't they havetheir GK sent off?Strkes me that there is a massive dicipline problem?How many games thrown due to players being sent off?In Prem League terms Chipps are like Everton/West Brom. They put in a good shift,unlikely to go down,but never going to win anything?They'll be chasing a PO place all season,regrettably they aren't too good in pressure situations. Seen loads of these down the years..

"Black and Amber" what's that all about, doesn't seem your a Chipp fan at all, just another time waster posting on here to satisfy your need to wind people up and criticise and undermine every person that has contributed to a great start to the season, if you had been there yesterday you would see why your comments are pathetic.

I might be the Hobgoblin but this Black and amber guy is a Troll just trying to wind people up. We need to keep the faith with Mark and the boys. " We're Chippenham old boys and we sing when we want."

If you had been there yesterday you would have been proud of the lads.We played for a large chunk of the game with 10 men, we knocked the ball around with power and pace on a descent surface. And even with the 10 men we dominated long periods of the game. Why Matt Jones saw the red mist and dived in two footed just up from the half way line in about the 18 minute only he know. He will have played it back in his mind fithty times today and he knows now how stupid it was. We all know he is not that sort of player. And that he let the team, Mark and his dad down. With our 10 against there 11 it just about levelled things up. Although at times Sandell and Pratt  who were superb all afternoon ran there flat footed defence ragged.  And even the little group of die hard Billericay supporters that I spoke to after the game admitted that they would have been fortunate to draw the game let alone get the win they did. I am certain if it had stayed 11 against 11 we would have come away with the win. Hopefully Matt will learn from this and become a better player from it.  They got there rather fortunate winner in the 94 minute and that felt very very hard to take. Probably the most disappointed I have felt since I have supported Chippenham Town.  But we have a cracking squad of players an exellent management team and a Chairman and a board that have put there money where there mouths are to build this squad. I know we will bounce back hopefully starting with the tough trip to Kettering next week.  😎

Good report Jono😎in one way I'm sorry I missed it. Sounds as we were very unlucky. That's the cup I suppose,club in a good place at the moment and many to thank for that, let's really get behind the Chairman manager and the players,we have a team to be proud of. COYB

We lost. We played the majority of the game with 10 men, a situation of our own making. These are the facts. And its a frustrating scenario, hence the moans and venting of spleens. Glass half full or half empty there's no getting away from it. 
If we are getting a special place in today's draw because we 'played very well, were unlucky, were the best team not to actually win on the day *insert excuse here* etc - Then let me know and I'll tune in.
COYB!
