Chippenham White 2-0 BTYFC A

A good game of football today against Chippenham. We were beaten by a first minute goal (weren't quite up with the pace of the game so early on) and then a smashing strike that was pretty unstoppable. In the second half we were better and were more solid at the back - propably a match for them. But as a result of us playing two at the back we were a bit on the thin side up front - lacking our usual threat around the opposition's goal mouth. With one or two exceptions we seemed to lack a desire or hunger to get hold of this game and weren't really challenging for the ball - occassionally looking a bit scared of the ball and the possibility of getting hurt! This group of lads are very good footballers but a little too nice and polite on the pitch. If we want to start winning games and compete in this division we just have to develop a harder more physical edge and put ourselves about a bit more. How we cultivate this is another matter!? (Answers on a postcard please).
