League Two Sutton Utd v Rovers

[Keith Hill (Bolton)]

0-0 written all over this!

 

[Ian]

Going along to this one with optimism.

Enjoy the game @Brightonian

 

[Boz]

Hope you enjoy the game Brightonian.

I see Rovers unchanged both in starting xi and bench from Tuesday, so the possibility of a Spearing cameo or start a bit of a smoke-screen

 

[Ian]

Yeah, it was probably a bit too early for him especially in a game that is going to be a bit more direct.

Not too disappointed with this. If he was on the bench and things were going badly there may be a temptation to bring him on. I don't think Spearing is a cameo-type of player and would rather he came back in when fully ready, probably as a starter. We only need to look at Tollitt to see how horribly things can go wrong when rushing players back. Perhaps even Glatzel?

 

[Ian]

I want to see a bit more from the midfielders today in terms of running past players, feeding the strikers. None of this messing around wasting 45 minutes. Let's be positive and attack them. It's a winnable game so lets go win it!

Yes, we have the personnel so let's play to our strengths.

 

[Ian]

Not doing anything here. Ball stuck in our half.

 

[Ian]

And there’s the goal..

 

[bigmart]

If we lose this will be 5th away defeat in a row, frankly that's awful and the reason we are struggling to go up.

 

[Sparky]

Poor goal to concede. Corner headed in after their last lost Nevitt who was marking him. Need to do more to sort this away form out

 

[Boz]

It sounded mostly Sutton even before they scored. Too much aerial stuff, playing to their strengths.

 

[bigmart]

Sounds so one sided, need get half time only 1 down or could be messy again

 

[Sparky]

Poor. Very poor. 25mins they’ve had 5 shots we’ve had zero. Getting outmuscled in midfield and toothless going forward. Still plenty of time but much better needed. At this rate they’ll get a second before half time

 

[Ian]

We are not creating anything and like Boz says, playing to their strengths. I just don’t get it.

 

[Ian]

We had a corner early on. That’s about as progressive as it’s been. We are struggling to cope in the air. It’s not pretty but it’s effective for Sutton.

That's our away form/performances for you

 

[Goody Two Shoes]

Sadly, as has already been highlighted, this is against a much-weakened Sutton side. Hopefully, we can get a spark from somewhere.

 

[Ian]

1-0 isn’t awful @ HT considering. Wind behind us second half, let’s attack!

 

[Sparky]

Well we managed to get a shot on target late on through hawkes but Murphy has kept us in it. The only positive is it is only 1-0 but unless things change it’ll be another away defeat
