Leek Eating Lockdown

CONFERENCE SOUTH
Att: 609

SUTTON UNITED - 0
NEWPORT COUNTY - 1   [Bowen p41]

Another week, another 90 minutes battling to try & get something from a game that'll aid us in what is our increasingly futile looking quest to retain our Conf South status this season.  The cause isn't helped by the fact that we seem to be playing sodding play-off chasing sides almost every other week at the moment. And they tend to be fairly good at the kicking of the football that we're not so good at currently.

Fishing For Luckies..

CONFERENCE SOUTH
Att: 235

FISHER ATHLETIC - 4    [McCollin (11. 27. 57. 90]
SUTTON UNITED - 2   [Dundas 1. 46]

With the Xmas feel-good factor pretty much quashed by the expected, but still rather disappointing home humping at the hands of Bath, we return to action with a (hopefully!) slightly more winnable fixture away at Fisher.

Drowned In The Bath

CONFERENCE SOUTH
ATTENDANCE : 598

SUTTON UNITED - 0
BATH CITY - 4   [Gilroy 22. 41. p69. Holland 40]

It couldn't last. We sort of knew that. But it was nice for once to enjoy a couple of decent results before we returned to the usual drudgery of getting our arses handed to us regularly. I don't think anyone ever expected much more than bugger all from the visit of Bath, but suffice to say, we weren't disappointed in that prediction.

Saints Alive!!

CONFERENCE SOUTH
Att: 426

ST ALBANS CITY - 1   [Stevenson 75]
SUTTON UNITED - 2   [Dundas p80 Scarborough 90]

With 2008 underway somewhat more successfully than 2007 (not that hard if we're honest) after the nerve shredding 2-1 win over Hampton on New Years Day, things are starting to look vaguely more hopeful. With results going our way, we suddenly find ourselves no longer cast hoplessly adrift at the foot of the table and seemingly miles from safety, but instead a paltry 3 points behind 3rd bottom St Albans and within spitting distance of the almost sanctuary like 19th place.

An Unexpectedly Happy New Year

CONFERENCE SOUTH
Att: 622

SUTTON UNITED - 2   [Dundas p35. 46]
HAMPTON & RICHMOND BOROUGH - 1   [Lake 36]

Thank god that's over!

I don't think I'm alone in saying that 2007 was, as years go, a fucking shite one. Especially if you were a Sutton supporter. A dismal 12 months that saw us spend most of it flirting with relegation and putting on displays of largely awful football.
