    This has been exactly as I expected tbh.

    Setting up to absorb their pressure and play on the break. Surprised at the quality of our chances really.

    Was never going to be an enjoyable match for the neutrals. We're still playing for a 1 nil away from home really.

    Gilliead, Vernam could have done better, Theo should have waited a tad longer and got on the end of Vernam's Cross but then they're all pretty average league two players really so that's what happens really - sometimes good, sometimes less so.

    Nothing wrong with the TV mate maybe the difference is how we as fans see the game, there certainly not the team there made out to be I thought we would be camped in our box far from it, of course that's IMO.

    Started brightly, once again failed to take our chances, and how our midfield is opening up like the Red Sea. Same old story,
    Sutton, Gillead and Watt have been quiet. OT is lucky to be still on the pitch, Robinson looks to have lost a bit of confidence after getting into good areas early on. Vernam was doing alright on the left, but for some reason has moved out right and is not making an impact.
    We need more guts in midfield. I think when Angol comes on he’ll cause problems with his directness.
    Sooner or later their long throw tactic is going to pay dividend. We need to score.

    Well this is depressing

    Therkeld - Useless. Should of been sent off
    O’Donnell - Come off your line for feck sake
    Paudie - Change your name to Tom Daley, The way you like to dive into tackles
    Gillied - God give me strength

    This is gonna be a long second half

    Conlon looks dangerous on scraps on edge of box.

    Threlkeld lucky to be on and should be subbed.

    they look very dangerous on throws. The big lad is very brave. Smith is it?

    we should have bagged a couple though.

    vernam’s pace on break could be key for us as ever.

    Vernam going for glory he looks up and see's Robinson in yards of space but as I say he goes for glory, and makes an utterer mess of his shot.

    Nothing wrong with the game plan. The frustration is, with 2 quality forward players, we'd be top 3.

    Game crying out for Angol running at their central defenders.

    Standard league 2 game. This is what you get. I've seen lots worse as a spectacle.

    Quietest game Suttons had in a while. Need to get him going this half but I think Adams will be happy with a point.

    Vernam is the worst finisher in living memory

    Not talking about washed up has-beens and strikers that can barely move but for a fit lad with pace he is utter utter dross in front of goal

    He could go RB here. OT needs pulling off (chortle, chortle)

    Is he not basically man marking Conlon? Gilliead genuinely puzzles me as to what he brings.

    For me the question will be if were level after 65/70 minutes will Addams make positive subs, listening to the Radio Leeds interview I'd suggest not.

    If it's 0 0 get Vernam off were better without him tonking the ball into the stand

    Sutton has been told to keep next to their main man. If you look he is always looking for him.

    First signing of the January window will be a central defender I reckon to play with Canavan.

    I don't think Adams likes this 3/5 at the back set up but he doesn't trust us to keep a clean sheet
