Full house for the first time I can ever remember for a league game, thanks in no little part to our friends from down the road.
2 sides with decent results in recent times, local derby - what more could we want (apart from to be there ☹️)? A win gives us a reasonable chance of venturing into the top half and would take us above our opponents. Is there potential for us to be at full strength for the first time since the opening half hour or so of the first game of this season? We’ll be waiting on Milsom, Wilson and Hart injury situation. That’s assuming everyone else came through Thursday ok.
Tough game but hopefully we can come out quickly and have a good go at this one. Wimbledon will be bang up for it, our defeat of them led to a semi meltdown and they won’t want another dose of little old Sutton turning them over.

I'm expecting another tight game, but with 5,000+ spectators packed into GGL there should be a cracking atmosphere. An incentive for our players is that a win would take us above AFCW, and (as Gareth says) quite possibly into the top half of the table.

Here we go - new year new set of thoughtful predictions…🎈⚽️
I know David Ajiboye is not allowed to take part but his presence in the stands will push us to a famous rout of the Wombles…
SU 4 v 0 Wimbledon All 4 for ENZIO - 27’68’70’84’ (One too many sherries from yours truly).
Happy new year 🎈⚽️

What a result! Very well played lads and also great for Omer getting on the score sheet. So what a Christmas we have had three wins and we move into the top half. ⚽️⚽️⚽️👏👏👏

Possibly our most complete 90 of the season and for once we always looked like we could and would score.
The team looked confident- players off the bench made an impact.
I think that's the first time we had a full strength starting 11 and a good bench since Newport in August.
Smith and Kizzi were awesome and Goodliffe handled Hudlin the Giraffe well and then Jo after he went off.
Can't identify a player who did contribute to the overall team success. Onwards and upwards. Have to be confident of getting something on the road in the next two weeks.

Back home to a house party (hoped they’d all buggered off, but no). I thought that was by far the best Sutton game I’ve been to this season, and the first twenty minutes or so saw some excellent football by SU, particularly on the ground. Well deserved victory. Two well taken goals.

Best I’ve seen us play all season, with more chances created this afternoon than in any recent game. Three were relatively simple to convert, so we were unfortunate not to have won by 2-3 clear goals. All round fine performances, but Wilson’s link-up play was much better, with players closer to him so that he could lay the ball off with success. Will R once again shining, Ben G showing us why he has been missed. Brilliant atmosphere, maybe several hundred of the newcomers can be converted into regular supporters. A good afternoon!

Hats off to Will today! MOM performance from the beginning to the end. Although I fear there are numerous clubs keeping tabs on him right now.

Probably a record crowd for a home league game, certainly a record for league match gate receipts.
I was by gate A before the game and virtually everybody was in Sutton colours, which is encouraging.

Very impressive. Made a decent Wimbledon team look quite ordinary.

Fantastic performance from Sutton. Being above Wimbledon and in the top half at this stage is in the upper end of my expectations. Happy New Year.
