Reading Rebel Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Looking forward to the game tonight against a physical and resilient Chippenham side. A lot to play for and I think we'll have to be at our best to get through to the next round. COYR!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they have one of the worst disciplinary records in the National South league 12 matches so far with 24 yellows & 2 reds..... and did they pick up 4 yellows against us on Saturday? Does anyone know if they picked up any yellows in their 210 minutes of football against Cirencester? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irishadrian Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Hugely disappointing but on a positive note we can now concentrate on the league and hopefully a decent run in the Trophy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reading Rebel Posted October 8, 2019 Author Share Posted October 8, 2019 First of all our players deserve massive credit and all the praise for showing real fighting spirit to come back twice from a goal down. On the goals we conceded I think we shot ourselves in the foot on at least two and possibly all three goals. In the first half Chippenham always looked dangerous on the break with their midfield, when on the attack, finding the time and space to play the ball to their quick forward/players which put our back line under pressure. Chippenham's first goal came about after some poor play in our right back position when a Chippenham player received a difficult pass but was given the time to control the ball, turn and put in a cross. We looked better in the second half and deservedly got ourselves back into the game with an equalizer only to concede again with what can only be described as a bit of a comical goal. As I remember it, with the momentum with us, we had a free kick out wide somewhere around a third of the way into the Chippenham half, instead of putting the ball into the danger area or at least play the ball forward we chose to put players around the ball to play a short pass, this somehow allowed Chippenham to nick the ball, break away and score their second goal. Again, our never say die attitude got us back into the game with another deserved equalizer. We pushed forward in search of a third goal but in doing so seemed to leave ourselves open to the counter attack. The winning goal came from a ball played out wide on our left and with no Slough player in sight a Chippenham player had the time and space to pick out a pass into our area for the winning goal. Our best player on the night, especially for his second half performance IMO was Matt Lench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark44 Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 The guy who broke down the right for their winner shouldn't have been on the pitch.....It wasn't a tackle on Ben from him in the first half, it was quite simply assault and IMO a yellow was extremely harsh on us. To give Chippenham their due, they really hassled and hurried everything that we did on the night. A team that never give up and were constantly into us, it showed as some of our passes were going astray as a result. At 2-2 it could have gone either way and unfortunately it went theirs. We can't win them all and it certainly wasn't through lack of trying..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
