Dover & Out

FA TROPHY 3rd QUALIFYING ROUND REPLAY
ATTENDANCE : 314

SUTTON UNITED - 1  [Henry 57]
DOVER ATHLETIC - 0

So, has anyone checked yet? Does two consecutive draws away from home amount to a run of 'form'?? In fact, who gives a toss. When you've lost 9 straight previously, it bloody well does in our eyes.

You Don't Sound Canadian!

FA TROPHY 3rd QUALIFYING ROUND
ATTENDANCE : 721

DOVER ATHLETIC - 1   [Cloke 60]
SUTTON UNITED - 1    [McBean 30]

Thanks for the nice easy draw guys. Appreciate it. Oh wait, you actually gave us a team pissing their division and on a run of 8 or 9 straight wins didn't you? Tossers. Still, things aren't quite as bleak as they were a couple of weeks back. Since the draw was made, we've improved immensely. Firstly, we managed to keep a clean sheet for a whole 45 minutes in the second half against Hayes & Yeading (although we did admittedly concede 3 in the first half) and we actually drew that game. Yes, we got a point. A whole point. All to ourselves. For the first time in 2 months.

3-0 & You Fucked It Up!


CONFERENCE SOUTH
Att: 223

HAYES & YEADING UNITED - 3  [Scott 6. p25. Knight 33]
SUTTON UNITED - 3   [Greene 52. Dundas 73. Haverson 90]

You know, I love last minute equalisers. I really do. Probably maybe even just that little bit more than last minute winners. Yes yes, I know you generally get two more points for the latter, but I can't think of anything better than going mental on a terrace, preferably away from home, when you've just nicked that point late on, especially against the odds. The undeserved ones are the best of all.

It'll Make Your Brain(tree) Hurt

CONFERENCE SOUTH
Att: 457

SUTTON UNITED - 0
BRAINTREE TOWN - 3    [Sullivan 10. OG 58. Archer 90]

God this is getting boring.

It's bad enough having to watch our lot at the moment, but then having to write up a match report afterwards is just downright masochistic. Like going to the dentist for root canal work, then pulling out a couple more teeth with some pliers when you get home.

It's Not Nice When You Lewes All The Time....

CONFERENCE SOUTH
Att: 640

LEWES - 4   [Holloway 57. Griffiths 61. Davis 90. Groves 90]
SUTTON UNITED - 0

So, at last, we have another manager.

Unfortunately, it wasn't Merlin, a re-incarnation of Harry Houdini or Jesus H Christ as we'd really hoped (Apparently we couldn't afford any of 'em) and instead we went for the safer, but mildly surprising option of Ernie Howe.
