Yes I know I am starting this early, but then this is probably the biggest league match in the 120yr history of our club. One win away from securing a place in the playoffs for a place in the EFL, somewhere no Sutton side has ever been.
We go into the match with just 1 point out of the last 5 matches, at a place we don't do that well, and agaist a side which has just gone 11 matches unbeaten.
Can we defy gravity as I have seen it put and get that win?

Ebbsfleet (or Gravesend and Northfleet as most people still know them) Away on Saturday, probably one of or toughest away games, Ebbsfleet now in the play offs and with Sutton in their worst form since the 14/15 season I believe, will be extremely tough! Haven’t got a good record their with 3 loses in our previous three visits being a 3-0 and 2-0 loss and a 1-0 loss!
Well, hoping for a reaction but even if we score, it’ll be an achievement if we score based on our previous visits there but obviously we need 3 points to secure our play off place or we will be under the utmost pressure against Aldershot on the last day!
COME ON SUTTON

I have missed the last 2 home games as I have been on holiday in Scotland where I have watched 4 home games at Caley Thistle with the results of 3 wins and a draw whilst wearing my Sutton United scarf 🧣. I did get some ribbing but explained that we were in a very similar position to Caley with regards to play off places so I feel that if it can work whilst I’m at Caley it will work at GGL👍⚽️💥🧣🙋♂️😄 |

At least Caley beat Celtic to win the cup, unlike Rangers on Sunday who probably thought they were playing Brechin instead |

You're both right. Although that Super Caley headline dates back to 2000, they did beat Celtic in the Scottish cup semi-final to ultimately lift the cup in 2015.

Hi Ebbsfleet fan in peace. You have certainly been doing your best to throw away the opportunity of promotion whilst we dare grinding out the results. Fortunately for you Wrexham have been in free fall as well and they have a tricky game at orient. If they and Bromley lose and Dover fail to win, we could both be celebrating the play off place even if you lose to us.
Just be aware it's our community day on Saturday so there should be a large crowd.
Here's hoping for a good game and may the best team win

Correct me if my age is causing memory loss but I am sure I was at G & N in the early 60s when we won in the FA cup and a certain Mr Ray Watkins played a blinder.

Was Ray Watkins the keeper as he was a good friend of my dad and I used to play golf with him he said he only played a few games for Sutton then went to play for them down the road
