This is a huge game for Sutton and to describe it as a "Must Win" is an understatement. A win would close the gap to 4 points between us and the team above who of course would be Doncaster. It would take a lot of pressure off the team with still 16 games to play. I'm hoping that the manager starts Smith up front as he is a proven goalscorer for us. it might be a cagey affair as neither team can afford to lose. We have the players to get us out of trouble and lets hope they turn up on Saturday.

We’ve got to be aiming for 2-3 goal victory. We can’t afford to leave it to a bounce of the ball here or a refereeing decision there. If we’re good enough let’s go for it. Would be nice to have a fast start and get an early goal or 2, life becomes a bit easier then.

We are playing quite well. Just got to take our chances. They are going to look for a draw on Sat and to try and nick it, as they will want to keep the gap there. It won't be an easy game I imagine. However, if we get one then the game should open up. I am going to go for a 2-0 win for the U's.

In similar vein, after Tuesday I'm beginning to wonder whether we might have a better chance of away than home wins, catching teams on the break rather than breaking down stubborn defences at GGL? The double-issue programme mentioned that Doncaster beat Harrogate in a friendly last a week. Read into that what you will, probably very little.

I hope Eastie is not injured after coming off at half time Tuesday. If Smith is back in the team he will have to watch his actions as he could be a marked man with officials. hopefully we'll get a result. If not , than deeper trouble to get out of.

I'm willing to trust Steve on team selection. He's no fool, and will understand the vital importance of this fixture. His reputation is on the line as well as our EFL future.

This is our biggest match in the EFL to date, win it and there is a glimmer of hope, lose it and aliens landing is going to be more likely than survival.
No excuses this time, no nearlies, or what should of could have been, if its going to happen it has to happen Saturday.

A striker with disciplinary issues who has let down his club, team mates and supporters. His team are struggling but now he’s back.
Let’s see how Rashford gets on!

The Ref for tomorrow is S SIMPSON. What do we know for him?

He last refereed us in the one nil home defeat against Forest Green. I believe he prefers to carry his whistle in his right hand.

If we screw this match up let's take responsibility for it and not start blaming the Ref, for the love of God. A few marginal calls (and even a couple of big ones) against us do not create a failure of a season. A club does that to themselves.
Anyway, we can win this. We need to win this. That's all there is to it.
