Hard to give an opinion when so many others have summed up that performance pretty succinctly. In fact Grumpy Old Man comments earlier did pretty well in his summing up. But for Roberts it would have been 4 or 5 nil. Horsfall had poor game but he was not alone as Pinnock was clueless. For me Sowerby did a few good things but faded. As for Kabamba - words fail me. He did get some service but when he did the ball was taken off him. Yet one commentator was saying he did ok but got no service; said Commentator went onto say he (Kabamba) was haranguing the defense for decent service. When he did get it he lost it anyway. At no time could I understand his positional play - in the wrong place virtually the whole game. Lewis was anonymous but that's his game! I think JB team selection was weird, no Harriman or Ete and the changes made too late; should have been actioned at half time. 10 games in with a performance that matched any of Keiths woeful results against Burton and Rochdale. Warning signs indeed.

Atrocious performance bar Roberts...
Sutton schooled us all over the park...4 or 5 wouldn't have flatterred them...
Never thought I'd prefer to see Seal start over another striker, but Kabamba today proved me wrong. Yet again, we somehow manage to sign another non scoring striker on a 2 year deal!
Poor starting line up. No subs made at half time. Let's hope it's a one off.

Brief and to the point and very much in line from what I saw!

Strikers are only non scoring when they're with us apart from the odd exception like McGleish, Richards and Bayo of more recent times. However, strikers are only as good as the service they get. The worry with Kabamba is that he doesn't read the game or look capable of finishing, even in the practice before the game

I thought the ref did OK considering she could barely see over the top of the grass. Wrong game for the ref; at times she lost it.

I don't think they really created anything other than the second. First was just another set piece, and plenty of long aimless hoofs. Just physical, good in the air, and very limited.
Another accurate view point. Goody for me am agreeing with most today even RagDoll and MC.

Anybody that points a finger at Bob is labelled a renegade but please, be aware, I ain't having a pop. I have said it before but until he is no longer a first choice on the team sheet we are going nowhere. His contract ends this season but I wouldn't be surprised if they gave him an extension. He has no quality (despite effort) and if that is rewarded it speaks volumes. If he is first choice where does that leave room for talent?

When? - apart from the height difference I thought she controlled the game well - I thought r the free kick that eventually led to their first goal was wrong (but actually given by the lino) and I think McWilliams was very lucky not to get a second yellow - so perhaps you could illuminate me as to where she lost it?

If Harriman or Dyche were bought in for Guthrie then McGowan could have stayed at RB and McWilliams could of stayed as our combative midfielder.
Pollock is capable of creating and joining the attackers and should play on Saturday, as well as Tuesday.

Ok, let’s all settle down and take a large deep breath of realism.
Most of us agreed at the start of the season we were looking like a mid table div 4 team that, with a lot of luck could press for play off or a bad run or 2 could be fighting relegation. Our new improved goalie and excellent CB pairing gave us a bit of false hope but then the reality kicks in - we’re sod average - hence 10th place after 10 games and 0 GD.
I’ve seen us lose 3 times this year - Rochdale, FGR and Sutton. In all cases we were beaten by a better side with better players. Forget tactics, substitutions and formations, our players were not as good as theirs! Not as fit, not as skilful and not as quick. I do still believe we will win as many as we lose (assuming Mssrs Guthrie, Horsfall and Roberts stay fit) and we’ll probably finish somewhere in the middle 1/3rd - 9th to 16th.
My hope is, and remains, that the Brady Bunch can start to build something here but it ain’t gunna be no quick thing!

Strange game today, Sutton are ok, not the best but we did make it very easy for them. Brady has to look at his team selections and formations, today it just didnt work, wrong players in the wrong positions, awful way of playing football, i didnt expect promotion this season, but Brady promised exciting football, time for him to start delivering on his promise, i thought the players that he brought in to play his exciting football would be showing signs of doing so by now, lack of an attacking forward line is purely down to him.

Will do but repainting car alloys at mo'. Before I do I need to know if you were at the game. Not a criticism at all.

Not much more to say that hasn't been said. Dreadful performance. Sorry lads, but Kabamba a passenger, and Lewis just not involved. Surely we had better options than Shawn at RB - who was needed to give some steel to midfield, and was a liability after an early booking. Good job Sutton didn't cotton on to our lack of aerial strength at the back (Horsfall apart) or it could have been a cricket score. We need to see whether Pollock is up to it in midfield, after todays display from Sowerby, Flores and Lewis - I think it's worth the risk.

He hasn't yet said what he thinks Rebecca lost earlier either. Thankfully.

Does anyone know why Connoly wasn't in the squad? There was no mention of him being injured or having covid on the official site or in the Chron. Surely he wasn't left out completely, we could have done with some pace today. Whether it would have made any difference though is another matter.

Too lax with players stealing (throw ins) yd’s even after they were told to go back. Didn’t play advantage particularly 2nd half. Also in the 2nd half I thought there were moments where she might have lost control; an example of this was the curious incident with Kioki when he refused to hand the ball over to allow the game to be restarted. I would have booked Kioki for that. Too lenient with McW who should have been booked 2nd yellow. What made her more than acceptable at this level was her overall consistency in difficult situations; this affected both teams so fair does! Happy to see her again. Also she needs to be tougher on time wasting! It happens a lot, some referees are getting tougher on this.

Due to my lack of education and therefore limited vocabulary, I find myself unable to elaborate further on what has already been eloquently expressed regarding that utter pile of shite.
I always take notice of those who are more educated, those able to articulate clearly without the need of repetitive vulgar language as they often hold a high moral and social compass, such as Stuart Hall the presenter.

Don't be so hard on yourself. I consider myself reasonably well educated and have an extensive vocabulary but I still swear like a mother **** docker, partly because I like it but also because studies have shown swearing has a positive impact on stress levels. But mainly because I'm a **** foul-mouthed **** ****.
