Sunny breezy day.

Just arrived at BP. Seen a few Sutton fans on seafront.

C'mon Town.

Looks a more attacking lineup with Wearne and Kiernan out wide.

Looking forward to this one #UTM

Has anyone got link to radio commentary please?

Anyone esles MArinerTV died?

Mine has suddenly started working after doing nowt since 2.55…

Hopefully didn’t miss much.

Waterfall handing out heart attacks with his back passes again  

Mine keeps going quiet for a few seconds then kicking back in again. Nice to hear the crowd and it sounds quite full according to the commentators.

Feel like we played better when we were wading through a foot of water

My iptv not working 😕
Got stevenage  Carlisle

Sounds like we need a water break for Hurst to get some instructions out.

To many hit and hopes for my liking, definitely need to improve if we're going to get anything out of this

Ball not really sticking for us up top. I like Taylor but he’s not particularly effective. Yet to be convinced that his level is above National League.

It’s one of those games where I feel we could do with, or at least utilise, croppers throws

Bit of maguire drew magic required I think if this continues into the second half

Not sure where that foul on the keeper was then, looked like he jumped over a standing Kierman and fell into his own net with the ball

I reckon the wind was offside!

Ridiculous decision

Scunts beating Solihull 3-0. Very impressive

Now 3-2

Need a bit more qualiteh in us final third

HT....0-0

(HT...Peterborough 3-0 Lincoln  )

Wind playing havoc but still a pretty poor game so far.

Think this is where the Green further forward experiment comes to an end. Once again chasing after the game and giving the ball away in possession.

Not been great so far, no one really playing well and quite a few having off games. Our problem at the minute is the lack of support around Taylor. Green has been poor so far and might be worth replacing him with Pepple at some point to give us more numbers up top.

Yeah a man who has spent his entire career in the football league last season apart… ffs

The issue is we are too far away from him

JT and Crofty in their pre match suggested that we may be missing McAtee and that seems to be the case today. Still got 45 mins to though.

Quoted from Hagrid

The issue is we are too far away from him

He isn’t winning his headers or causing enough of a nuisance of himself for people to benefit from his knock downs or flick ons in the same way he was in the National League. Defenders are dealing with him with relative ease.

As I said, I like him, but so far I can see why it didn’t work for him at Newport at this level and why he needed to drop down.

Quoted from DB

Even a simpleton like me could work that one out.

Quoted from promotion plaice

Now 3-2

Not so impressive

The stats mostly seemed in our favour just think its been a poor game overall. I think we'd be better off with clifton in the centre from what ive seen and still dont get the issue with starting maguire drew

We've reverted to dumb challenges giving them back possession.

Yeh cant see us doing anything in this game without changes, I know were only 3 minutes into the second half haha, but just one of them, taylor looks too isolated

Mattie Pollock on the bench for Watford today. Wonder if we get some dosh when he makes his debut?

A league too far for Efete.

Could just be one of them off days. But if we don't buck up its Sutton that will get the point today

Green's having a shocker.

Someone call and ambulance Hurst has made a sub before 60mins he's clearly sick  

Quoted from denni266

Could just be one of them off days. But if we don't buck up its Sutton that will get the point today

And us  

Think I'd take a point at this stage. Sutton looking much more likely to win it.

Have we had a shot on target?

Quoted from Mayaman

Have we had a shot on target?

BBC stats say 60/40 to us on possession but 0 shots on target. For what its worth.

Well let's hope JMD can do the trick with a goal or asst. Never say die spirit is need to get 3 points for the come back kids.

Wearne straight down the tunnel with someone then, not in a strop or anything more like a quick trip to the physio table

Quoted from winghams

Thanks. I got in a bit late.  Not a classic. C'mon JMD!

Nearly for Pepple.

Scunny 3-3 Solihull Moors

(after Scunny where 3-0 up)

Latest...Everton 0-1 Forest, just saying.

Good save from Suttons keeper on Pebble there

Cmon town find a goal and Dallas scores for Solihull 3 down to 3/3

Scunthorpe had a 3 goal start. Now losing!

Scunts throw away a 3 goal lead as the prolific Dallas equalises & Alex Reid scores Solihull's 4th

Owura Edwards scores for Ross County, and still in Scotland Rumarn Burrell nets Falkirk's third

i see Adam Campbell has scored again for Gateshead - wonder if he's worth having a look at

That was definately a corner

Think Hursty addressed this in his pre-match with Matt Dean. Basically said he’d had some really good chats with JMD and he’s aware of the work expected of him off the ball to cement a starting place. Something many have commented on. Hursty commended his abilities ‘on the ball’ but say he needs to see him take this info onboard. The way I see it this is very good management from Hursty as the onus is now on Jordan to grasp his chances when they come and show he can take advice on board… the ball is now fully in his court regarding whether he gets starts going forward or not. He knows what is required.

I really hope he can add a bit of that to his game as I think he’s class.

We could do with cropper on with all these throws

To sum things up. We desperately desperately need a striker

Taylor has GOT to do better there!

Some pathetic morons booing in the upper

Very poor game. Slightly better after the subs. Fair result. We all know what was missing don't we?

You have to take your chances and we didn't. A point is ok but we should have had 3. Onwards and upwards and Forest to look forward to on Tuesday.

Fair enough cant argue with that

That wasnt a great game, we had better opportunities I think, but didnt see much flow or much composure from us, just one of them days maybe. We looked really good in the first 15 minutes against carlisle, brendan keirnan looked dangerous but today hes been fairly anonymous. End of the day were missing our star player and it shows, which is understandable, whens he back?

Really disappointed with some of the performances. Efete, Green, Morris, Taylor, Wearne well off the pace with other players also distinctly average.

Taylor just seemed to get in everybody's way.  I assume he was frustrated and wanted to make his mark.

Despite his miss, i thought pepple did well

Frustrating game to watch from afar with Town simply too profligate in front of goal in the second half.

That frustration is certainly tempered by Scunny’s 4-3 defeat at home to Solihull after being 3-0 up. Welcome to the National League relegation zone boys; make yourself comfortable, you’re here all season.

Agree re Pepple created more than Taylor, but is this because we had 2 up front?

Quoted from Hagrid

Despite his miss, i thought pepple did well

There’s an understandable rawness about him but you can see he has ability. A goal would do him the world of good.

Poor game. Bizarre refereeing decisions at times. Lack of quality (though boudjewin was pretty decent) on both sides.

Missing an out and out striker up front.

Couple of chances we had SHOULD have been putting away but, at least it’s a point gained

A lob from Taylor whe one on one would have been the option.
McAtee would have been creaming himself today !!

You just know Mcatee comes away from that with a hatrick

Always a good point when you don't play well

Agreed with those who see something in Pepple. Would like to see him get a start next league game. Not a finished article but creates stuff and not afraid to have a go.

I thought Green played defensively well today made some good last ditch tackles and did a lot of the dirty work which was needed today.

Pepple had a few rash touched but injected some energy to the game.

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

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?

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

Quoted from MuddyWaters

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.

You're easily pleased Ian. For me it was one of the worst games I've seen at BP for quite a while.

I don’t know if you were due compensation when that car knocked you over Barra. But if you were it wants reassessing.
You clearly received brain damage 😉

But on a serious note. Football is all about opinions and that’s the beauty of it. You saw one game, I saw another. I’ve had some fantastic post game discussions (normally fuelled by alcohol) and long may it continue.  I look forward to a heated debate about how we need to adapt when playing in Europe 😀

Bloody hell, I'm positive and optimistic but playing in Europe.

Game of attrition and tactics and physicality. Think some may have underestimated the standard in L2.
