Looking at the first 35 minutes of todays match and their other results since they beat us Hartlepools season has gone downhill big time since then

Sutton are leading 1-0 with a goalkeeping howler by the Pools keeper

As things stand Sutton will win the league

[metallilad]

I remember when the saying was cheats don't prosper.
Sutton are the worst bunch of players I've seen for falling over and crowding the ref wanting every tackle carding. To think they are going into the football league is just sickening.

I don’t think there are any standout teams in this league, just the difference between the top 5 and the rest is they have the depth of squad and type of player to nick a 1-0 win even without playing well. Like the season when Leyton Orient went up a few years ago.

To go up next season we need to be impossible to beat at the Technique, and try to emulate what the Hartlepools/Sutton’s on this world did to us at our place, nick a goal and shut up shop.

You also need to beat the Wealdstones, Boreham Woods of the world at home too.

Sutton now leading 3-0 so they will be champions and it would be good to play Hartlepool in the play offs because they are on a downer big time at the moment

Also Kyle Letherans Morecambe are in the league 2 play off final after beating tranmere 3-2 on aggregate

good that gets rid of another team with an advantage plastic pitch to play on , harrogate last year , sutton this , should not be allowed a distinct advantage to play on

Good luck Sutton in the EFL next season.

I think they will struggle personally. Not much of a fanbase, and the ground will be IMO one of the worst in the league. Not really much but of an incentive for players to buy into.

They will be back down in 5 years I reckon.

Spot on. Biggest set of cheats and moaners in the league. Is this what it takes to go up ? If so it's depressing.

If they play like they do now they'll be down next season.

But they got a rip up their £150k plastic pitch

They'll pay higher wages so there's your incentive.

Or ground share. The plastic pitch is a big income earner for them.

Strange that. Maybe we should put one down? We beat Bromley and Sutton on their plastic, and lost to both on our turf. LOL

Isn't the EFL considering allowing 4g as of next season in League 2?
You're right about wages too. Sutton is an affluent area of London.

Just watching Forest Green in the L2 playoffs - if players are prepared to play there, they’ll play anywhere if the Wonga is worth it

Rushden and diamonds could attract decent players back in the day too and they played in A village

their ground was a decent new build though and that helps in attracting players

Suprised that grounds allowed in league 2, even without the plastic pitch. CAnt see how they can re-build if in a few weeks

True, suttons is like something from the evostick league

So FGR lost in a really entertaining game - shame.

At least Sutton are a long standing non league club, not totally manufactured.

Kevin Ellison scored a picture book goal to get Newport back into the game at 3-0. I wonder if he’ll come back to haunt Morecambe at the age of 42. Perhaps we should’ve tried to sign him when he was a youthful 38 year old
