Enfield Town will come up against a familiar figure when they make the long haul to Chippenham for Saturday’s latest survival act instalment.
Anointed Chukwu, a popular figure during his time at the Dave Bryant, has just had his loan spell with the Bluebirds extended having initially signed for them in November.
He has appeared in every league match bar Chippenham’s draw with parent club Worthing and while he is sure he get a warm reception from the travelling Town fans, they will be hoping he doesn’t add to his two Chippenham goals so far.
Chippenham have also taken on defender Rashawn Scott on loan from Dagenham & Redbridge FC until the end the season.
Having taken just two points out of six from back to back home games, Town will hope for a much-needed maximum haul against the division’s bottom team before our relentless schedule is given a mini break with no midweek game next Tuesday.
Despite their lowly position, Chippenham have been ekeing out results, even against the leading teams. Amid chants of “one nil to the Chippenham” , that’s exactly how their last three home games have ended – against Torquay, Maidstone and Maidenhead — and Gavin is in little doubt about the threat they pose.
“It’s a massive game of course given where we both are and trust me, they can hurt you. They may have been bottom for some time but they’re a good footballing side. There’s nobody in this league this season who you could say are fallers. It’ll be a really tough test.”
