...............with two of the three difficult away matches completed, and 6 points, now face a tough test at Truro. The first two came at a cost with injuries to three players, but DOS has built a confident squad which has proved it self. Our away record is second to none, may it continue on Saturday..........to the supporters making the trip enjoy it.

Actually, to be accurate, our away record is second to one (Ebbsfleet).
It's a possible play-off rehearsal, this one. Should be a good game. I think if I was given the choice between a draw and no further injuries, or a win with one bad injury, I'd take the former.

Can't wait for Saturday. Looking forward to the long drive down tomorrow. I wonder if Dos will take in the Weston-Ebbsfleet game.
Also looking forward to catching up with an old friend and Sutton fan that can't come to games anymore but seeing as he's in Exeter the Truro game is around the corner.
I'll take a point with all our injuries and Craig E's suspension but 3 points really would be a bonus.

Fortunately I have family in Cornwall BTW Truro are to stay at Treyew Road

At least we'll go into this game knowing how Ebbsfleet have got on at Weston. A Sutton win or draw in Cornwall would make it very hard for Truro to catch us. But they haven't lost at home since last August (though Oxford C did win 6-0 there on the Bank Holiday Monday) and since then only Cirencester Town (in the Cup), Gosport, Maidenhead and Ebbsfleet have managed draws at Treyew Road.

Well we are good enough to win and no doubt we'll be set up to do so. We still have a more than adequate line up. Nick Bailey having had a few 20/30 minute stints may be key, coming in and showing us how good he is. We still have Dundo, Gomis, the 2 wide men, Slabs. And on and on. At the back probably another game for Louis John and let's hope he continues to take his opportunity - a clean sheet there would be a fantastic effort. Let's hope the quality of our squad shines through.

The weather forecast for Truro on Saturday is for strong winds and heavy rain. Good luck to the team and our band of intrepid supporters.

I hope we have enough 1st team players still available to raise a full matchday squad I'm going with the following squad for tomorrow's game: Worner, Gerrar, Amankwaah, Beckwith, John, Cooper, Wishart, Spence, Gomis, Dundas, Bailey, Stearn, Bolarinwa, Slabber, Wright, Fleetwood Some big players out for us at the moment including Eastmond (through suspension), Collins, Downer, McCallister and Fitchett (all nearing return though from injury) plus Burge who's season is sadly over (I wonder how much we'll miss him in the run-in).

Ebbsfleet's defeat at Weston is an unexpected gift. A Sutton win tomorrow would massively increase the value of that gift.
