First real opportunity , but Luthra is equal to it. (0-0)

2 quick chances for Chippenham. First, Trialist #A shooting at the keeper, before Gunner shoots just wide from the edge of the box!

chance for Chippenham’s Mehew, who tries his luck from distance and forces Luthra into a save. (1-1)

Noah Coppin gets the hosts back into the with a half volley past the keeper. Great finish.

Not a bad result though really for a very young Bluebirds side at the (other) Bluebirds

I disagree, if these players are so talented against a very small club like Chippenham then I would of expected not just a win but a good performance, we struggled in this game.

Keith,


Since Morison stopped being the coach for the U23’s / U21’s results last season dipped dramatically and performances went down hill under Darren Purse.

Struggling against a 6th tier team is worrying. Either the players are not good enough or Darren Purse haven’t got a clue. Either way, change is obviously needed. If we want our U21’s to be successful they should be beating teams in the 6th tier.

I loved Darren Purse as a player, but since he took over we struggled big time last season.

I totally agree with you, we should be running rings around this type of opposition and we struggled.
