Chippenham 4 - 1 Wasps

Despite the scoreline, we can be pleased with today's performance. Chippenham are doing well in the league and are a good strong team. They caused us lots of trouble, most of which we dealt with well, even though we had to soak up the pressure for lots of the match.

We had a good first half. Chippenham resorted to long shots from outside the box, dealt with easily by Jonny. We let in one goal by allowing their striker to turn easily and shoot in the box. 1-0 at half-time was a good scoreline for us.

We carried on working hard in the second-half, but a combination of playing uphill, into the wind and with only 11 players on a very soft pitch, the gaps in the defence began to open up and Chippenham rifled in a couple of goals. We fought hard to make some chances and a neat pass from Charlie was well-taken by Johan to make it 2-1 at one point.

Many good performances today. Jonny was a remarkably safe pair of hands and defence worked hard. MoM goes to Luc for his best performance yet, much more confident on the ball and some good passing from midfield.

At times we were sloppy with marking today, especially from throw-ins and goal-kicks. We must challenge harder for free balls.

No training Monday 25/2.

Next match is at home to Brinkworth on 3/3 (meet at 10 for 10.30 kick off)
