Let's Play 'Who The Fuck Is That?'...

PRE SEASON FRIENDLY 
Att: N/A

BANSTEAD ATHLETIC - 0
SUTTON UNITED - 4    [OG 13. Gray p59. Kennedy 75. Vansittart p78. ]

This was a game that as soon as we arrived, we just KNEW was going to be one of those poxy games played on a pitch that the likes of Chalmers & I frequent on a Sunday morning and involving god knows how many players that not even our own officials have a clue who they are or where they have come from.

Green Shoots...

PRE SEASON FRIENDLY
Att: 711

SUTTON UNITED - 0 
FULHAM XI - 3    [Timlin 11. Ehui 31.70.]

With the visit of a Fulham XI our only home friendly this summer, the crew set aside nagging doubts about whether we’d have a good enough team for the big kick off in 3 weeks and went down the pub to try and kill the braincells that hosted those doubts.

Ignorance is, after all, bliss.

Hornets Nest

PRE SEASON FRIENDLY
Att: N/A

HORSHAM - 3    [Carney 44. Kirby 87. Soutar 90.]
SUTTON UNITED - 1    [Gray 12.]

As touched upon in last weeks report of our first friendly, the one overriding worry for us this summer is getting a defence to replace the one we seem to have lost to sides further up the pyramid. With Qunicy already gone, Tobi & Patsy still unlikely to return, JR has his work cut out trying to find replacements in the 3 weeks before the season itself really gets underway.

On The Subject Of A 'New Defence'...

PRE SEASON FRIENDLY
Att: N/A

HORLEY TOWN - 0    
SUTTON UNITED - 3    [Gauci 29. Gray p75. Watkins 90.]

Lets face it. It’s been a shit summer.

After the highs at the end of last season, we’ve had to put up with the loss of 3 important members of an excellent squad with possibly another 2 on their way. And when you add another disappointing exit from an international tournament from our national team, you’ll get what I mean.
