Sutton v Swindon matchday thread

I assume Mcechran hasn't been signed in time to be in the squad for tomorrow?

Come on, Bob. Announced today means he signed weeks ago.

This is the sort of fixture where I expect our lack of experience and nous in the midfield will be exposed. I just don’t think we have the players to control matches, especially away from home against physical opposition.

I’d love to be proven wrong but am expecting a narrow defeat - 2-1 Sutton.

[RobertT]

Everything says we get bullied and beaten in this one, so a 1-0 win with 10 men it is.

[Lardy Cake]

Can’t see anything other than another 2-0 defeat. Hope I’m proved wrong I really do !

[Batch]

last time I was this pessimistic we beat Northampton

[DiV]

4-0 to take Morris to 0-0-3

What’s the longest it’s taken any of previous managers to get a point?

[Nemo]

It took Paul Hart eight ( 8 ) games to register a win, but he did draw his first.

Iffy got his first point in his fourth game, drew three in a row and then won one in his seventh.

[Bob's Orange]

Not particularly optimistic tonight. Watching in hope rather than expectation. Another 2-0 defeat looms I reckon.

Pre match I drink therefore I am in The Coronation Hall.
Well, coffee to start with anyway.

So, Surbiton, not quite seeking the good life but the start of a voyage of discovery through the heart of suburban Slurrey and not anything like a Joseph Conrad novel.

Many a good day out has been spoiled by the football before. Hopefully not the case tonight.

Quite like the idea of a back three & pushing the wing backs up to half way & just going for it.

The most disappointing thing about Saturday for me was the lack of any response after going 2 down.
Almost naivety coupled with a lack of collective responsibility.
Don't know if that can be taught & taken on board, certainly not in 2 days.

100% record against our opponents albeit over 4 games.
Don't think that we'll lose tonight.
Last manager to lose the first 3 games might have been Roy Evans?
Not sure that any Town manager has ever lost their first 4.

At least the away end has been improved since last time.
Hope to make it to kick off still at optimum operating temperature.

Very different circumstances but John Gormans record with regards to first point(s) & first win must be pretty bad.

Lost the first 4 before a draw. 16 games before a win in the league. Only 8 games if you include cup competitions

Yeah that's very bad, albeit "being in the Prem" is a fairly decent excuse for making a poor start.

[Nemo]

Listening to the LSPod presser coverage and it sounds like McEachran is a) fit and b) impressing so sounds like he could be involved. Wonder if he might be in the Williams position if we stick with 4-2-3-1.

[Peter Venkman]

With the amount of injuries in the squad I cant see past a loss.
