ATTENDANCE, 685. Still not as many as the club were hoping for, I bet. Not a bad effort from the Bluebirds faithful though.
OOOHHH! 16:39 Gullick's superb dummy allows him a sight of goal and Sawyer beats out his drive. I'll go as far to say it was a Pele or Torres like dummy, he just let the ball roll the other side of his body and the Gloucester defence was lost.
SUBSTITUTION. 16:36 Lye is replaced by Gary Funnell after treatment. He landed awkwardly and looked to have turned his ankle. The midfielder is helped off and is in deep discussion with Tommy Callinan.
GOOD SAVE! 16:32 Snoddy produces a decent block to deny Pitcher's volley. It was straight at him but the save needed making.
GOAL! Chippenham 3-1 Gloucester. 16:22. Seavill latches onto Snoddy's long punt and buries a rising drive beyond Sawyer. Sounds simple enough, doesn't it? The only issue is Snoddy mis-kicked after intending to kick the ball out as Kevin Halliday is lying prone on the ground. He often gets stick for his kicking, but this time it has worked in the Bluebirds' favour.
OFF THE LINE! 16:15 Seavill's shot is blocked on the line by Thomas. He didn't know much about it, but it's the taking part that counts.
BETTER. 16:11 Mings must be happier with the start to the second half but Morford just shot wide - a timely reminder it's not over.
NOT EXACTLY BECKHAM-LIKE. 16:02. Seavill fires a weak free kick straight at Sawyer and, a minute later Cornwall mis-cued his effort as the big stopper races out ot meet him.
ON YOUR MARKS. 16:00 They are back and two changes for Gloucester. Sykes and Reid off, Allard and Webb on.
HALF TIME: Chippenham 2-1 Gloucester. Seavill's 42nd minute goal has given the Bluebirds the edge. But they are far from safe, Morford is looking dangerous and he will get at least one more chances in the second half.
GOAL! Chippenham 2-1 Gloucester. 15:42 Seavill races clear, out paces Neil Mustoe and drills a fine drive past the despairing Sawyer. Just what was needed. You did get a feeling the Bluebirds were starting to edge the game.
PENALTY? 15:41 Pratt is seemingly brought down in the box but nothing is given.
CONTROVERTIAL. 15:40 'Snoddy is poor and is costing us' muses Simon. Interesting opinion. I was only thinking today he must be a contender for player of the season.
ROOF OF THE NET! 15:37 Morford's effort lands on Snoddy's goal - he is exactly what the Bluebirds are missing. A big bustling striker who will put himself about. David Pratt goes close as Sawyer saves his near post effort.
TOO MANY EASTER EGGS? 15:32 The Bluebirds just look a little bit lethargic while the Tigers have more bite in the challenge. There are surely more goals in this game though, neither defence looks great today.
GOAL! Chippenham 1-1 Gloucester. 15:25 Ross Adams claims his fourth goals of the season as his half volley beats Sawyer following Conrwall's free kick. Normal service resumed? Not quite as Morford goes clean through and Snoddy saves.
OOOHHH. 15:24 Cornwall feeds Sean Seavill but Kevin Sawyer is up to the challenge. A good move and a good save.
DEBATE TIME. 15:21 Simon says 'this is awful, the team have no idea.' Quite right too Simon. You would expect, at this stage of the season, the hosts to take the initiative. I'll go as far to say they are playing like a team of strangers so far. No luck in front of goal for the Bluebirds so far folks.
OVER THE BAR! 15:16 Marc Richards heads over and the visitors are playing like the hosts. There are chasm-like gaps appearing in the Bluebirds defence.
Dodgy keeper? 15:12. Chris Snoddy almost lets Alex Sykes' free kick squirm under his body. The Bluebirds aren't finding any change from Gloucester. 'Shambles', says George, simply.
GOAL! Chippenham 0-1 Gloucester. 15:09 Ah, well, that's not how they planned it. The Bluebirds only half clear a corner, Ashley Thomas fires it back in and Will Morford scambles home. Gloucester are failing to read the script.
UP THE BLUEBIRDS! 15:03 The first text of the afternoon, but no name. Come on people, obey the rules. A Chippenham corner comes to nothing. They've started brightly and, by my reckoning, a two or three more wins from the last six games would get a play-off place.
ARE YOU SITTING COMFORTABLY? 15:00 It's cold, it's windy and Adie Mings just walked past singing. It must be Hardenhuish Park. Gloucester kick off.
TEAM NEWS. 14:50 The text commentary bandwagon rolls into Hardenhuish Park for the clash with Gloucester City. Lets see what we can find.
Aaron Cornwall returns from his lengthy suspension to start and David Pratt makes his first start after completing a three match ban. Luke Prince drops to the bench and Sam Allison starts his own suspensions.
