Can we get anything from this game? I'm always hopeful

Ebbsfleet are nailed on winners of this division, but we often do well in such games and I fancy us to go and get a plucky draw. When a team with that much quality makes a start like they have, well if they dont get close to 100 points I'd be surprised. It took them a few seasons but thats a squad ready for Conf national football if ever I saw one. Are they full-time? I seem to recall they are. Are there any other full-time sides in this divison?

They have started well but i wouldn't go as far as to say they are nailed on winners of the division.Let's see what happens tonight.

Can we get anything from this game? I hope we can Stewart but have to acknowledge that tonight's a tough ask for us in what will probably be our toughest game of the entire season. I think I read that we haven't won there since the 1940's so tonight would be as good a time as any to end that long sequence.

Well I'd be pleasantly surprised if we don't see a very comfortable home win. Just don't think we are defending well enough to compete with a decent side but you never know.

Well we kept a clean sheet on Sat so you never know. I think we may get a result here and if we do win then we'll only be 6 points behind them.
Remember Gosport hadn't lost until Saturday and should have been out of sight by half time so if we have our shooting boots on I think we can win.

Dear oh dear. Dundo has a pen saved and then agonies is shown a straight red. Looks like he'll miss the Stortford FA Cup game. Oh and it finished 1-0. Great commentary Tony

Suspensions start 14 days after the offence at this level.
According to Twitter "agonies" should read Gomis !

Arghhhhhhh!
Painful, torture but we do have a great side, everyone of them should be proud of their performances tonight. We didn't get the result we deserved, their goal was from a foul in midfield. their keeper should have seen red for a elbow. We should have had a penalty 10mins before the one we got.
Oh and yes woodwork does now equal 9 I believe!
The defending tonight was top drawer, they didn't put a foot wrong, and it took a foul to open us up.
As for the officials, I will let others have their say on them.
All that money, and they were scared shittless of us tonight, as we were ripping them a new one towards the end.

Ebbsfleet goalkeeper received only a yellow (and stayed on the pitch to later save the pen) for a far clearer 'raising of hands to the face' (being generous in the description) on Jamie Collins right in front of the referee yet the ref managed to get a far clearer view of Gomis in the penalty save melee. Disappointing.

Once again we rue refereeing decisions, though it wasn't hard to see why Ebbsfleet are top of the table. Even though possession was shared roughly equally they used the ball rather better than we did and it took several saves from Ross Worner, plus a Dean Beckwith clearance off the line, to keep them at bay in the first half. Craig Eastmond did catch them by surprise early on with a snap-shot that struck the top of the bar, but otherwise we struggled to break down a well organised defence. That said, we're entitled to feel aggrieved about the goal - scored almost inevitably by Jordan Parkes - as there did seem to be a foul on a Sutton player (Eastmond I think) in the build-up, with the ref allowing play to continue. We did have a great opportunity to draw level when we were awarded a penalty in the 90th minute for a foul on Kevin Amankwaah. But Dundo, usually so reliable from the spot, saw his weakly-struck kick saved by the Ebbsfleet keeper Brandon Hall. Worse was to follow as, following a goalmouth scrimmage during which their no.2 fell to the ground clutching his face, Bedsente Gomis was shown a straight red card. So, rather than being on equal terms, we were both a goal and a man down. Having been the beneficiaries of two penalty saves last Saturday, tonight we succumbed to one. The result puts Ebbsfleet four points clear at the top, with a game in hand. Meanwhile we're stuck in mid-table.
