Chippenham Home Saturday. It will be another 1.0 Hampton win imo.

Reading their forum, Chippenham don't seem to be performing too well at the moment. Not in danger of relegation and not in contention for a play off place. This and the Welling game need to produce wins to keep up the momentum.

They are 16th in the form guide and are not going anywhere this season. In some ways they are dangerous as Welling will also be. If we play like Eastbourne, then dropped points are quite likely. Hopefully we might have some injured players back. Midfield still worries me as Mel tries to find the best combination.

How can we have reached this stage of the season and still not know our best line-up.

Mel will probably say that injuries have disrupted team selection.

Injuries are always disrupting team selection. That's why you plan ahead and have people in reserve.

To be fair Mel never blames injuries saying he has a squad that is good enough to cover. However, seems to mention it quite frequently and clearly losing first choice players is bound to have some impact. And players also lose form for whatever reason. I suspect he knows his first choice best 14 and suspect most fans would guess the same pretty closely.

Or could be Julian as keeper coach?
