V Dunstable Town. Home Saturday.
This is a game we should win easily. There form is poor. In there last six games they have lost 4 and drawn the other 2. But we have a habit of not turning it on against the struggling sides. But we have played so well lately and looked so strong, hopefully those days are long behind us. I'm sure Mark and Tom will have the lads fired right up for this one, and hopefully we will start fast and not allow them a foot hold in the game as has previously happened against the so called lesser teams. Team spirit and confidence is sky high, the games can't come round fast enough at the moment. We are top of the League because we deserve to be there. It would be nice to see a larger crowd Saturday, the players have done there bit, now the people of Chippenham need to do there's as we push on for the title. I don't think there will be any team changes if every one is fit, as we played so well against a strong Basingstoke side last Saturday in very difficult conditions. Roll on Saturday. Good luck to Mark, Tom and the lads. 😎

Come on Chippenham, turn up and make some noise. Lets get behind Mark, Tom and the boys. "We're Chippenham old boys and we sing when we want."

Re: V Dunstable Town. Home Saturday.
We must not take anyone for granted in this league,let's just those 3 pts. Hope for big support as the team deserve it, good noise behind the goal helped last week so more of the same would be good.

Re: V Dunstable Town. Home Saturday.
If the crowd tomorrow can make as much noise, if not more, than the good people who went to Basingstoke last Saturday, that will be worth at least a goal for CTFC. The support last Saturday was magnificent for the boys, so please people of Chippenham, we need a huge following tomorrow. The weather forecast sounds reasonable for Saturday, so if this is your first visit to Hardenhuish, comes early and start the singing - COYMB

Difficult game with 3 injuries to Sands, Horgan and Fergie, all need substituting, 2 with pulled muscles. Good to grind out a win, the young lad on loan Jake, could have 4 goals, unlucky, but a good player.

Re: V Dunstable Town. Home Saturday.
This was harder in reality than it looked on paper. A great win especially as the chasing pack all won ( Hitchin postponed). Agreed that Jake had a great game and could easily have had 4. This win could be vital in our title challenge but worrying about the injuries." We're Chippenham old boys and we sing when we want."

Re: V Dunstable Town. Home Saturday.
Again, the lads showed the great character, team work and resilience that has made us unbeaten for the last 18 games and got us to the top spot in this very competitive league. The whole team played superbly as they once again worked so hard for each other and defended extremely well. Also massive credit to our back four/five, as they have been so organised for several games now and the clean sheet again as been well deserved. Jake was class, works hard and puts himself about. Look forward to the next couple of games, which are very important. Keep going boys, almost ours!

Re: V Dunstable Town. Home Saturday.
To be fair to Dunstable they didn't really come to park the bus and with some better finishing could have put us in trouble in the first half. Very solid all round team performance, and we found a way to win which is all that matters. Will Richards - what a class performer he is.
379 gate? Seemed more than that to me.

Re: V Dunstable Town. Home Saturday.
Poor first half when Dunstable had the edge over us. They had pace to spare which was causing our defence some problems. Much better in the second half which shows our depth of strength having lost three stalwarts to injury. The team rose to the challenge and we deserved a second if not a third goal. Great penalty strike from Dave Pratt. Good news is that we have a week and a day to hopefully get everyone fit.

Re: V Dunstable Town. Home Saturday.
No question we were poor initially, but held our own. Felt sorry for Jake as he could have had a hat-trick and deserved a goal for his hard work. I'm sure had for example the free-kick gone in rather than hit the bar then MOTM was his.
Impressive though that we can lose 3 important players to injuries and still come out on top with a deserved win.
One of the worst refs we have had for a while too.
A few us scratching out heads about the 379 gate. Seemed more than that - the bar was rammed at half-time
