    Blimey, forgot all about Odusina, presume he will be back tomorrow on the bench at least if Crichlow is unavailable

    I think referring to Sutton United as "tin pot" is wrong. They are a very well organised, hard working Club, with a proud history, who have progressed up the leagues without throwing silly money around.

    Anyone who ventured down to Gander Green Lane in November 2022 will have seen the effort the Club had put into improving the facilities for visiting supporters. See the video below for a tour of the ground (6'40" for the away end facilities):

    Lose tomorrow and I fear the season will implode.

    I don’t count a tin pot team by if they’re bankrolled or not, most fans most likely part time Crystal Palace or old Wimbledon fans and they’re likely to bring a taxi load tomorrow, regardless it’s pretty tinpot for where we’d like to get to.

    Still no doubt it’s a great achievement from them to get to the football league and best of luck to them, but I’d rather be playing teams like these in the FA Cup than league.

    Watching the Masters and hopefully making some money on Koepka and Rahm but live score is keeping me updated on the fun.

    Absolutely best of the luck to them but only from the 11th April onwards, particularly in their games against Orient, Northampton and Carlisle.

    Quite right Wilsden. A bit of second season here but if they had beaten us at their place last season they would have made play offs.Off the pitch still a bit of a way to go though in my view but good luck to them

    Win this and it kills off Sutton's small chances of the play offs and gets another much needed win at home. For me we need 3 more wins to get the play offs so getting win tomorrow takes the pressure off later games.

    There's definitely more experienced players in English football mate ;)

    Looking forward to this game.

    It's massive.

    Hope the atmosphere just blows the worries away!

    Come on lads!

    Huge game for us tomorrow once again, weeks ago I'd decided to myself we are a playoff team with autos being a bonus and nothing recently has changed my thinking on this, although anything but a win tomorrow could even put our playoff place at risk, but having said that a win coupled with a 1 or 2 other results going in our favour could see us right back in the hunt for autos somehow it's that close. Sutton will obviously be no mugs as once again they are having a good season by managing to hold their own against the so called bigger clubs in L2, but the one thing that's in our favour tomorrow is the fact they have to come to win to have any chance of clinching a playoff spot which should open the game up. I think we will narrowly win this 2-1.

    It's all about the opposition form going into the game (apparently)
    Doesn't matter what WE HAVE to do or should do about it
    May as well take a point now

    This means Cookie will have to score 2, think we might have already used up this months allocation ...

    It’s all us today play with intensity and attacking intent rather than most of the home matches this season where we have been negative and boring and we will prevail.

    Don’t know what the weather forecast is but if it’s anything like here in EA it will be a bog. Heavy stuff all day with thunderstorms this aft.

    I thought EA was the Gobi Desert of the UK?:unsure:

    Although the forecast is for light showers, both here and at VP, it is dry with sunshine and cloud at present.

    ‘Up In the Pennines’ we tend to catch the rain before it gets to low lying areas like Bradford.

    Totally agree. I don’t expect huge changes however I’d really like to see Pereira given more game time if he’s fit. Crawley, like
    most of the season, proved just how predictable and void of threat we are outside of Cook. He’s one of only 1-2 in the squad with genuine creativity. I don’t know what’s happened since the player we saw last season, but now would be a great time to see some of that player back…..
