Pepple was good when ho came on, shame he fluffed his lines. Lots of the team of the pace, Sutton were a big physical team with the ref behaving very strangely at times. We should have taken the three points but could have easily succumbed to a last minute killer blow like Rochdale last week. We move on…….

Quoted from GyMariner

To sum things up. We desperately desperately need a striker

Said the same but apparently there aren’t any, and as such shouldn’t expect the owners of the club to stump up the cash for one. Since when does buying a quality striker get you 3 points on a Saturday?

Get real.

Pepple looks like one of those frustrating players that causes loads of problems but has no end product. Should have scored last 2 games, but seems to take too long slowing down before hitting it. Hopefully I'm wrong, but if he can score, he'll be  a real asset

He’s 19 and everyone with half a brain knows that he’s raw and inexperienced.

So why are we playing him? Oh yeah we don’t have anyone else….

For what it's worth I thought it was an absorbing contest. Sutton understand what their limitations are, have a plan and stick to it. First half they pressed us to the point where we couldn't get out of our half for large periods. Second half they tired and judging by the expressions on some of their defenders faces were far happier than we were to hear the final whistle.
Clifton and Pepple both did well but once again our stars were the defence who did very well against a big side. Could be the kiss of death but I don't think we will get battered by many teams this season with our first choice back five playing.

If the manager says it was one of the worst games he’d ever seen then I’d be inclined to agree. It’s fair to say it’s not been a terribly memorable week.

Quoted from Hagrid

Despite his miss, i thought pepple did well

One thing I did notice with him was that he couldn’t continue a couple of free flowing moves when he had the ball. Instead of having a cheeky flick forward or turning quick with the ball and fleecing a defender he would just control the ball and pass it back to midfield. I guess it’ll all come with experience, but yes he did well, looked eager and didn’t shy away.

Thought Holohan was our best player today, followed by Green, who seemed to cover a lot of yards today. Effete seemed a little off today, I thought.

Would like to see Pepple starting a match.
He seems lively.
