One of Matt Grays strengths is that he (on the outside at least) maintains a cool head under pressure, whether we’re at the top of the league or bottom.
The start to this season reminds me of the start to Matts first season 19/20, a little bit. After necessity saw that we had to change a large...
A high turnover of players didn’t really help our preparations for the season, as Matt alludes to in his interview. Our style of play relies on a group mentality which takes time to develop with a whole new group.
I got excited when I saw the headline on the BBC website. Then I saw that Horsham had been reinstated. Still, if we play our best we could potentially force a replay!
The overly optimistic version of me would say that we would have lost that game a month and a half/two months ago, that we’re showing more resilience and fight, and looking at other results today we haven’t lost any ground.
Plus that’s 4 unbeaten in league and cup,
The realist in me thinks...
I’m currently looking at the pitch. It does seem ok, but there’s never any cast iron guarantees in life.
As for the game, it does feel massive. Feeling a bit nervous tbh.
A few weeks back, I was sure we were dead and buried, but an improvement in performances and now results has given me hope.
Two massive games for Sutton in our next two, Tranmere at home and Grimsby away. 4-6 points from these and I may feel more than hopeful.
10 years ago they were in the Championship, now they’re in the same division as Hemel Hempstead Town and Aveley. I’d call that down on its luck, 13 game winning streak or not
Some late equalisers feel more like winners.
First away point since the beginning of April. First time we’ve gone 2 without defeat since around that time.
I can see why Wrexham v Yeovil was picked, 2 clubs with FA Cup giant killing pedigree, one down on it’s luck against one on the up. And that’s without the Deadpool and Ronald McDonald factor.
Likewise with the Ramsgate game, Cray Valley PM aside they’re the lowest ranked team left in the...
A heroic 2-1 thrashing. Only one player with any first team experience (our 4th choice goalkeeper) and the rest of the team were teenage academy players.
But I’ll take it and bask in the glory of 3 wins in a row in all competitions
Due to Charltons inability to beat a side from step 4 of the non-league pyramid our scheduled visit to play the Addicks in the Papa Johns Bristol Street Johnstones Paint Trophy has be rescheduled for the following Tuesday, the 21st of November.
I’m shocked and appalled that the biggest game of the night wasn’t included in the original post.
Epsom & Ewell v Sutton United in the Surrey Senior Cup
