Pre match team talk ahead of the Chippenham Town game

KO 3pm Sat 21st March. Hardenhuish Park, Chippenham.

Steve Tully reports this afternoon a fully fit squad, bar two omissions in Barry Hayles (broken hand) and Charlie Burns (at MK Dons still).

Returning from suspension is Ed Palmer and new signing River Allen will both be in the squad tomorrow, giving Steve Tully a headache in who to start tomorrow.

In training this week, some players have been rested but this in no way reflects performances, simply preparation for the last seven (or so) games ahead of us. Training this week has included finishing in front of goal, an aspect that was in short supply at Slough last week.

With a good weather forecast tomorrow, this "local derby" game should promise a great day as there is promised to be a decent travelling crowd.

On to Chippenham, themselves, they slightly edge us on the last six form guide, with three wins and a draw. They are currently 11th in the table with 52 points. The last time we played Chippenham we beat them 2-0 at home back in January. The game was described as an ill-tempered affair with five yellow cards. Ed Palmer and Matt Wright were the goal scorers.
