Sutton v Swindon pre match chat and matchday thread

From 1 to 11 that was superb. Hunt MOTM but Baudry had a stormer coming in from the cold.

[Berniman]

A lot of draws tonight - good night all round

[RobertT]

Very pleased with that, Sutton, that was shit to watch, sorry.

I'd say they are a better Flitcroft team and I hated watching us play that way, but we were not a non-league club enjoying new ground.

Just like to congratulate our much maligned weakest link for an excellent second half.  Did the job at least as well as any defender. Well done Baudry.  Great guts.  Garner late with the subs.

Agree on Baudry - he had one blooper that could have cost us second half, but he did what he needed to do, by and large.  I think he struggles now with teams that move it about on the ground, pull defenders around.  This, oddly, is a team set up for him - nothing to think about, no quick runs to worry about.  Defend, keep position.

[Swindon Please Win]

Didn't look pretty defensively but it worked, they didn't really have any chances second half for all the long balls, Hunt was my MOTM, was brilliant tonight. When we got on the ball they couldn't get near us, especially for the first 30 minutes. Another good result.

Great win. Astute management from Garner in my opinion. Right subs at the right time ,Sutton for all their possession,created one chance from a free kick.Thought Payne who had an average first half played a captains role in the second. Only real criticism ,McKirdy's finishing but to be fair he's getting in good positions

Absolutely, he was simply superb 2nd half

[Super Hans]

Brilliant result.

Nice to see both Bristol clubs fucked it up late.

Well in Town.

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

Fantastic result. Absolute quality performance and goals in the first half. Dug in and battled in the second half. Agree about Baudry as well.

[Frigby Daser]

Great result. Shows we can mix it with a physical side. Two great moments of quality set us apart. Agree on Baudry too.

Good old Shitty, haven’t won at home since God was a boy and managed to let in two in extra time, and Wovers get two sent off as well!

Garner:
- A lot of young players deserve credit
- JoJo had gone away and 2 caps for his country. Didnt feel comfortable putting him back after 1 day back in training.
- Have 2 wonderful goalkeepers. Gives manager a headache
- Conroy swollen ankle so rested him
- Rotation with Glawin
- Gladwin and East gave us a bit more control when they came on
- Have a load that we work to with Gladwin each week. Not going to change what is right for the player
- Run of form in general has been good
- Pleased, but could have had more points
- Is it still about survival? Yes. Putting foundations in place. Will keep pushing

Agree with this - Baudry can play this sort of game much better than a more mobile, less direct attack. Sorry to hear the Twitter kneejerk crowd lambasting him on the radio. I made him my MoM in the end.

Special mention to Jencor on their forum, I doubt many in Swindon would recognise a Sutton shirt. Enjoy the journey home
