AFTER two tough opening games Chippenham Town remain unbeaten, but manager Tommy Saunders now hopes to turn battling draws into victories.

After 1-1 stalemates with Premier Division favourites Nuneaton and title hopefuls Tiverton, the visit of Chelmsford City appears a less daunting task.

"We've pulled off two tremendous results against two of the best teams in this league," said the Bluebirds boss.

"If we maintain that level of performance we've got to be looking to get three points against Chelmsford.

"But I'm not taking anything for granted.

"After two games no team has a 100 per cent record and every team has at least a point. That shows how tough a division this is."

Saunders has a few injury problems ahead of the game.

Adie Mings has been joined by Gareth Davies on the long-term absentee list following the rib injury sustained at Nuneaton.

Mark Badman aggravated an achilles problem against Tiverton and is a doubt, while Nathan Edwards is also struggling with a knock.

Matty Rawlins is likely to make his first start of the season on the right wing, with Mark Harrington moving into the centre in place of Badman.
