Another Kick In The Thurrocks

CONFERENCE SOUTH
ATTENDANCE : 255

THURROCK - 2    [Orilonshie 35. Stadhart 37]
SUTTON UNITED - 1    [Hudson 86]

Usually, when a manager jacks it in or is sacked from a struggling side, the team he leaves behind tends to pick up in form and goes on to claim some vitally needed points. But, always keen to break the mould, the U's have managed to achieve precisely fuck all in the 2 weeks and 3 games now since Ian Hazel quit as manager.

Sutton Pier Into The Abyss

CONFERENCE SOUTH
Att: 769

EASTBOURNE BOROUGH - 3   [Harding 29. Armstrong 31. Smart 71]
SUTTON UNITED - 0

At last, the league have seen sense and given us a Saturday trip to Eastbourne again after lumbering us with two midweek trips down in the last couple of seasons. Which was annoying as it's certainly one of my favourite away trips of the 'Conf South' era so far.

Our Cup Runneth Over

FA CUP 3rd QUALIFYING ROUND
Att : 693

LEWES - 1   [Wormull 25]
SUTTON UNITED - 0

Having scraped past the might of Woodford United in the previous round, we were a little worried what the FA Cup 3rd Qualifying round held for us.  Most sides would probably ask for a 'winnable tie', probably at home. Problem is, there's aren't many ties left in there that we'd consider winnable right now.

Post-Haze At Hayes Lane

CONFERENCE LEAGUE CUP
ATTENDANCE : 309

BROMLEY - 2   [Williams 45. Wood 55]
SUTTON UNITED - 1    [Watkins 47]

So, we're managerless then.  Obviously having mulled over the situation following the somewhat less than impressive showing at home to Weston on the Saturday, Ian Hazel did the decent thing and fell on his sword first thing Monday morning. Which means we're going into this two-bob meaningless Setanta Shield tie at Bromley with his former assistant Stuart Massey and ex-U's midfielder Mickey Stephens at the helm.

End Of The Line?

CONFERENCE SOUTH
Att: 397

SUTTON UNITED - 0
WESTON-SUPER-MARE - 3    [Hopkins 15. 26. Wilson 57]

It was probably the game at Weston back in late August provided an early glimpse of the misery that was to follow as we stumbled from league defeat to league defeat. Comfortably beaten 3-0 thanks to a really rather lacklustre performance, which was made all the worse thanks to the time & distance travelled.
