Why do we struggle so much against lower League teams? We can't string three passes together. Lots of aimless hoofs up the pitch. After such good football in our last match.

Senior tackled Bloxham, to start Sutton's last attack! Getting worse :cry: :cry: :cry: Clinging on for a scrappy point at the moment.

I always say that I don't like postponed games. We seem to lose momentum after one.

Senior played a ball into the area, which was cleared straight back to him. No-one put him under pressure, allowing him to wander forwards unopposed, then just fired from about 25 yards, in to the bottom corner!

Real maturity from Melon and Bloxham, who both turned away from goal, in the penalty area, to take the ball in to the corner. Sutton deserved a point, but we battled to the end. :D :D :D

To be fair Sutton did not look like a bottom of the league team. Well chuffed to come away with 3 points from that.

Against the bottom 3, but still gotta win them!

4th bottom next to keep the unbeaten home run going.

Sorry Keith but I Don't think Sutton deserved a point. They did everything to slow the game down. Always in the refs ear. .going down softly...going long.

I'm confused by the line-ups and substitutions. Can anyone who saw the match live clarify please?

It looks like we started with Donald Love as holding midfielder, ahead of Songo'o and Davenport.

We subbed Rawson for Songo'o ahead of Stokes, who did come on later as well as Davenport.

Who actually played in what position and formation and how did formation develop over the 90 minutes?

Similar to the Accrington game. I'm not saying that I like how they play, simply that it almost worked. To fight back from 0-2 to 2-2, and on balance, probably having the more clear cut chances, they probably did enough of the ugly stuff, to secure a point. I'm delighted with our fighting spirit, and to keep going to the very end, but if it had finished 2-2, it wouldn't have been unreasonable, on balance.

We totally switched off for their first goal, but Moore pulled off two terrific saves in the first half.

Love played holding midfield with Mayor. Stuart got injured taking a goal kick just before half time, not sure whether that had any impact on their first goal. Faz had also received some treatment in first half and didn't appear after half time, being replaced by Songo'o. That was a concern as Faz was our main defence against the aerial threat from Sutton in the first half. We continued to play the 4231 formation in the second half with Stokes replacing Jacob (not sure why) and Davenport coming on for Slew but playing holding midfield with Adam moving out wide. Like the combo of Love and Mayor in the absence of Eli King
