So you'd be willing to see us lose today and presumably again on 29th May, when we can be there in person? Sorry, I don't understand that.

There again, I'd prefer Torquay and Hartlepool to be promoted, purely for geographical reasons.

Why on earth would we give a toss about Sutton? We're on a roll, about bleedin' time, the more wins the better. Pride is at stake but more importantly the first steps (hopefully) of a much brighter next season. Who knows we might unearth some gems among this team of sand know that we seem to have a manager who knows what they are doing.

Pardon my ignorance buddy, but what's with the Sutton love in?
No love in. But would always favour an old Alliance Premier League rival reaching the EFL over a previously established league club who think they are too big for Non League. To think what Sutton have achieved as part time - has it enabled them to recruit a higher calibre of player who can earn more outside of football than on the field ?

To be fair, I don't think these days the established league clubs do tend to think that they are too big for non-league. They might not be happy to have been relegated but they usually feel they've been relegated fairly and squarely for whatever reason ( like us, they usually blame the Chairman!).

This will be interesting.
Beard to Sutton! Where did that come from?

I've been told by somebody close to Beard's family that it looks like he had already spoken to Sutton about playing there next season before he joined us. He came to us to stay fit. Let's hope Bassey's impressed and he'll stay.

If Beard hasn't actually signed for Sutton there is no reason at all why he shouldn't play for us. He's not on loan to us. He my well have "talked" to Sutton - so what? He's probably talked to several clubs.

PS. I think he's not big enough for Sutton anyway!

Daly gets dropped for BRE and Preston takes the armband.
This is the second time Daly has been dropped whilst we've played a back 4, maybe its just ration this time or maybe managers thus he isn't quite up to it physically.
Preston, who is prone to a red card, getting the armband is also quiet surprising even if our team does slightly lack experience.

Don't be to harsh as I sort of understand why hoofer2 said it however I want us to win tonight to carry on this run we are on plus to give us a chance of at least not finishing bottom of table and maybe just maybe a chance to stay up proper in the table.

Stream gives viewing figures at top. 319 less than expected but the access codes are a bit long compared to Barnet so could be a few more yet!

The viewing figures will go up once people realise it's not a 7.45 ko.

Reasonable start but we do seem unsure what to do in the last third.

Believe it to be more rested than dropped.

Misplaced passes in the last third are annoying but it's a better start than Saturday by far!

Crowd watch: up to 436

Azaze bravely out to intercept a through ball. Clattered by their winger, unintentionally. He might have to come off.

We've been under pressure and lacked composure when we've had chances on the break.

Crowd watch: 459

Unfortunately Azaze has to go off.
