Sutton United FC (A) match thread

[Barrow afc 2018]

Individuals will all make mistakes at different times but the one thing we have got above most is a fantastic TEAM SPIRIT. This is what Pete Wilde has instilled and this is why I’m certain we will achieve automatic promotion. Trust in Wildy trust in the TEAM and most importantly trust in ourselves.

[Hadrian]

Great point about the team spirit - mentioned time and time again by players in interviews.

Post match thoughts from the Barrow manager Pete Wild after yesterday’s 2-2 draw at Sutton in league two

Ok we got caught yesterday giving away two soft goals,which maybe if Worrall had been available to marshall the defence may have defended better.I was there yesterday and the team didn,t give up and ended up clawing back the deficit even though we ended up with a draw.The hoof ball that Sutton were playing didn,t help either as we are better when the ball is on the ground.I think that the team did well to get a point when we were staring defeat in the face.Not long ago it would have been game over.Probably a fair result in the end.Walking out with a Sutton supporter yesterday he complemented me on the way our team played and was also was surprised at the number of Barrow supporters given the distance and said " fair play to you" for bringing so many supporters.Whoever complains about Pete Wild's teams and tactics needs their head looking at.Onwards and Upwards.

110% this

PW said we are almost at full strength so competition for places will be harder than ever and thats a great position for us to be in. We definitely missed Stephenson and Worral since the Wrexham game as they offer a different style of play compared to Feely. Proctor did miss a good chance to score but hes a handful and far more aggressive than Acquah. No match will be 100% perfect so we might make mistakes at the back and we might miss chances up front. Lets just hope our performances from now until the end of the season are as good as the first half of the season

Nailed it, Man City conceded twice yesterday, that must mean they have no chance of winning the league some wet wipes on here as soon as Barrow conceded a couple of goals.

And for the record, Julian Alvarez (wonder how much a week he is on) missed from a similar position to Jamie Proctor was yesterday.
It happens at all level of football.

It always amazes me when fans say “He should have done, this, that, or the other…..

1, They know better & are better than you at everything football related
2, No player is perfect & they all make mistakes
3, Why expect perfection from L2 players when even world class lads make mistakes


4, Enjoy this ride as it’s brilliant so far, Yes we will lose or draw to some we thought we’d beat & visa versa, Enjoy this fantastic journey we are on atm….

I know what you mean Gaz lad. It’s incredible we’re 6 points ahead of Notts County, who have Langstaff already with 20 goals and 5 assists, McGoldrick on 11 goals and 4 assists and Crowley on 10 goals and 8 assists.

Meanwhile we have just one player on more than 5 goals who is Ben Whitfield with 7 goals and 2 assists.

I agree, a prolific goal scorer added to our side, and we’d top the league.

I imagine Notts County fans are saying “if we had a decent defence we might even be level with Barrow” ….

Saw a Notts C supporter mention on FB that they have strikers like Baywatch but defenders like crimewatch

[SKIPPER]

Read an article the other week prior to a Liverpool/Arsenal clash regarding respective No. 9's Nunez and Jesus. One had only scored three times in the PL this season the other not at all for a couple of months but what else both brought to the team was highlighted. Likewise with goalkeepers. Those who knock Farman should watch the likes of Onana and Alison with some of their howlers.

Agree 100%. It always makes me smile when people think they know better than someone who is good enough to play football for a living. All players make mistakes, and those who make the fewest play at the highest level. League 2 might be the highest we have played at for years, but it is still a fair way down the pyramid so mistakes will be made fairly often. Why can't folk just accept that and enjoy where we are? Incidentally, there are plenty of teams below us who have the magic 20 goals a season striker, so maybe that isn't the magic bullet some people seem to think.

Are you an actual person? Worral to marshal the defence, what are you talking about?

[Pedro]

Thought Sutton result was going to happen as it did .
They have a new Manager who has had a period managing in the championship .
I thought we showed them to much respect plus they we're very physical

The result is what it is ,cannot do anything about it.
Still thing automatic promotion is on.

Think we missed Stephenson/Worral as a right wing back. Feely is more defensive where the other two are a bit more aggresive in that position.

The wing back we're missing most is Tiensia. Hopefully, he will be fit again soon. Stephenson (and Feely when he plays) are essentially defenders and Worrall is a winger. Only Newby and Tiensia are true wing backs although Worrall has made a decent job of defending.

So you going to be dropping Newby when Tiensia comes back?
Newby has been getting all his joy this season playing on the left - Tiensia is a left sided player. Can’t play both unfortunately

What did I say in my post? 'Only Newby and Tiensia are true wing backs'. I'd play Newby as right wing back and Tiensia as left wing back.
