THE depth of Steve White's squad this season will be tested early on as the Bluebirds face six matches in the next 16 days.

The Chippenham boss has already admitted fears about his squad being too small and the tough start could make these fears a reality.

A budget cut and financial restraints at Hardenhuish during the summer have limited the amount of players White can bring to the club and he is worried it could have an effect on their season.

He said: "We have a lot of games in a very short space of time and I expect the squad to be tested to the limit.

"It is a bit worrying because we are lacking one or two squad players and I just hoping we get through the busy period unscathed."
