Sutton v Barrow match thread

[K_BFC]

It does have to be said that Sutton at home on their artificial pitch have seen off some of the other teams around us, Forest Green (FA Cup), Tranmere, Dagenham, Macclesfield as well as Lincoln away. So today was a very good point.

We are however in danger of slipping if we don't keep the unbeaten run going or start converting some of these draws into wins. Gateshead and Dover are in good form and right behind us having won 3 out of their last 5 games, Barrow have won just 2 of the last 5. They could easily overtake us going into a difficult part of the season. The part where sides start to get bogged down with fixtures, suspensions, etc. We have draw more than anyone else (8 times) which is why we are 5th. A win today and we are 2nd, turn some of those others into wins and we would be 1st. In my dream we have

Couple of strange results amongst that lot, the biggest being D & R, the others have been pretty kind to us as well. Fantastic gate at Tranmere, must be one of the highest in non league ever.....I think Luton were always somewhere near that but very impressive at this level.

I thought FGR would be the team to beat this year and they're proving to be very solid.....after a dodgy start.

I thought the same about Dagenham 0-5 Gateshead. Dagenham made a first half substitution about half an hour in at 1-0 down, not sure why, injury, being over run? If that didn't unsettle them a second goal a couple of minutes into the 2nd half would have, then on the hour 3 goals in 4 minutes in the pretty much finished them off.

Looking a bit closer at Gateshead they look a bit jekyll and hyde. They are the 3rd highest scores and have beaten a fair number of teams by at least 3 goals a handful of times. High scoring matches in which they score most of the goals are fairly common for them this term. They have also been beaten by 3 clear goals a few times, so when we play them we could get anything. Dagenham caught them on a good day.

Draw was the fair result, Sutton played well in the first half and Barrow shaded the second. You did look dangerous from corners not so convincing in open play.

Dixon mistake almost cost us a goal

Oh FFS. Yes, Dixon sliced a clearance from a back pass, but no way did it "almost cost us a goal". This is what the assassination squad on RC were saying, was it?

No radio Cumbria stuck up for him, 3G pitch, wet conditions ball skidding on to him that's what gavin Skelton said.

Just the assassination squad on here making stuff up.

How any sutton fan can watch games on that every other week ill never know.
If barrow ever got a plastic pitch that would be me finished.

TBF, the commentator (was it Woodworth?) made a lot of it, ... almost led to a goal...lucky Livesey was there....Dixon making a mistake every game etc etc, but then Gav Skelton defended him.

[RodneyTrotter]

It's Dixons fault we drew that game

Anyone who blames Dixon is clueless, one bad kick which went to nobody then a fine string of saves.

We will lose this lad if we aren't careful!

I wish everyone would get off Joel's back.......another clean sheet today.....was it one missed kick?

Did any midfielder do any mis placed passes, any misjudged tackles that gave a free kick away?....Jesus wept.....

The unbeaten run continues.....when Edmo was here that would of been a heavy away defeat today....

Support the players, support the management and owner......get behind the team......sick of the witch hunt.....

Well done all, another great point today......Need to win our replay now and have a crack at a higher league team.....

Can you elaborate? I thought the ball ran true on an excellent surface.

But we do know we won't be playing Bristol City though unless you're on about round 3?

[Gasser]

Are you not mentioning all the saves radio Cumbria have said he's made?

Thats what hes paid to do,make saves,not mistakes.

REALLY?? Not often I'm compelled to reply to what I read on here but that has to be the most ridiculous thing I've ever read since the internet was invented.
I hope you are either a)drunk b)holding your head in your hands in embarrassment at what you have just wrote
Show me a goalie that has never made a mistake...nay show me any players in the history of the game that hasn't dropped the odd b#llock paid or not!
