Can I ask all the Sutton fans who remember this time 5 years ago to just cast their mind back to our 9 match losing run and the mess we were in then. This is nothing like that time, but yet there is getting to be an over-reaction by some supporters on here.
It's very easy to be critical and just moan, but as markf has pointed out in this thread, and others (including Dos to an extent) have said, we've got a bit used to success and got a bit complacent about it. Dos deserves some slack and perhaps yes, he hasn't got it right this season, you can be your last quid that he'd be more disappointed in that than the rest of us.
Of course anyone on here is entitled to their opinion, but sometimes thinking about thing before one writes can be a useful tool. Coming on here and slagging off fellow supporters, questioning players' ability, undervaluing the people who give up their time for the club and generally being destructive in ones comments are totally your right. Doesn't mean that others appreciate or want your view.

Interesting, honest comments from Dos. Looks like there will be a lot of new players in the summer. No mention of Beautyman, maybe this alludes to the fact he feels he will be moving on which wouldn't be a surprise.

Thanks but now i'm wishing i hadn't read it!Sorry to lose Scrivs ,Boats & Harry O but are we really going to continue with Stuart & Williams?
Neither have impressed me at any time during the season.

Obviously very sad to see Scrivs go. He's been one of the best 'keepers I've seen in my 43 years of watching U's and will no doubt be a great addition to another club's squad. But as I said above, financial constraints have currently put the club under pressure and with Tom looking to be a fine prospect the decision to let Scrivs go makes sound business sense.
Shame about Harry O too but well explained by Dos as was the situation regarding Boats.
Good luck to them all.

Would seem a pointless question seeing as it has already been answered!

WOW! a lot has been said on here today, I want to clarify that I only made reference to the 'Sutton Faithful' being quiet yesterday - they were. To question whether I am part of the 'Sutton Faithful' is a bit daft really. Billy is clearly trolling being somewhat over the top with his comments. Football is a passionate game and there are no more committed and passionate supporters than U's fan, it was just a shame in my eyes that passion was reserved for chants towards an opposition player after the final whistle. As others have mentioned some context is required when calling into question the quality and commitment of the team. Given that the club and Dos are working on a very tight budget this season a mid table is not a disaster or end of the world. Dos should be commended for the job he is doing in such difficult circumstances. I am sure it was just frustration at the end of the game yesterday, from lets face it some if not the best supporters in the league. A win against 'Ricay' will probably secure our BBS place for next season, the playoffs have gone so it makes sense to save money now and build for next season. Not only we have the best fans, we also have the best Chairman and best Manager in the league. You make me laugh ! You accuse me of being over the top and proceed to inform us as follows.................... a mid table is not a disaster or end of the world.No mate it's not.  |

It seems in this place that all posters are equal but some posters are more equal than others. I was told a while back by a Sutton United official that the clique that exists in here is known as "The Brown Nose Club" Obviously no prizes can be offered for guessing who they are.
The way things are going they could well end up being the only ones watching the team and can then come in here after matches posting smiley faces and greetings to each other about all the wonderful things they do to help everybody else.
If anyone wants a free season ticket to watch the last 6 home games feel free to get in touch.You are welcome to it.

Hurrah, Billy's going! Is that a threat or a promise?
