Did we win ? The way teams achieve positive things isn’t always by winning by playing well, or in others words play shit and win .So what do you want ?
Talking about DM: he said ‘pelanty’ three times in his post match interview, but He never said ‘yes, no’ at all.He’s improving.

We had quite a number of chances today, just not consistent enough at getting into the box.We weren't leggy at all, I think some in midfield wanted more time on the ball, and couldn't always deal with the Sutton pressing.Oh, and McSheffrey was not tactically outclassed. He could have changed it earlier but he put faith in Andrews and it just didn't work. When he made the changes we stretched the Sutton defence and exploited their tired legs and minds to great effect, to win the game. He earned that celebration I'd say.Did you see goalmouth scramble in the first half that was perilously close to a 2nd goal? And the chance they missed from about 3 yards out in the first half? I’m an optimistic person, but there’s being realistic. It could have been 3-0 Sutton at half time.

Can't believe what I'm reading on here, forgetting our 'chances' today, the many we created! we were absolutely dogs--t for 90 plus minutes. We can discuss all day long about what's a chance & what isn't., what is true we are still churning out the same old pathetic football we did last season with different players. Wonder who that's down to.
No-one would begin to suggest we played well today. But what we definitely did do was to figure out a way of controlling the game in the second half.That revolved around Clayton dropping deep, finding space and time and picking out probing passes. It was a long way from perfect, but you could see us controlling the game more and more as the second half progressed. The goals finally came and because they came late, it looks like a very lucky escape. But the goals came because we kept on probing and eventually made the chances. As I've said elsewhere, if those two goals had come in the 68th and 70th minutes, we'd be congratulating the side on a professional response to a woeful first half.An indication of how much we dictated the second half - Sutton had one shot. Not because they were trying to shut up shop and get 11 men behind the ball. Because we kept them out of possession for much of the half, and we got into them when they did have the ball. I said in another post that there was something remorseless about us today. Not that we dominated or overwhelmed them. But we kept playing to a game plan and we increased the pressure on them. I said to the lads around me after 80 minutes that it felt like we were going to crack them. In the end we did.It'll be interesting to see how the approach of Clayton threading balls through the midfield works if and when we have players like Taylor and Molyneux or Tomlin in the side to latch onto them. Today, there were several neat examples with Rowe and Hurst combining from Clayton's balls with crisp passes that almost opened them up but didn't quite. I can see that being a potent threat when we have a full set of attacking options to take advantage.On a basic level, it was just refreshing to see us having a tactic. For the last 18 months, it felt like the nearest you'd get to tactics at Donny was to buy a box of those sugary little white mints.
The key to this result is how we follow it up. Keep winning and start playing like an actual team with a plan then it's a great example of a team playing poorly and winning, the stuff of top teams. Follow it up with more performances like this and it's a sign we have a coach who can't get anything more out of us. There's a bit more negativity than there should be because it followed such a poor season so rightly we want to put that behind us for good.
We have only Long and Tomlin as senior ‘fringe’ players, though, the rest are young lads!

Every post you’ve made for the last 3 months has been negative. No balance at all to your posts just moan and complain about everything and anything

I will always support & praise us when I feel it's warranted but I will also say it as I see it, hope that's okay with you & a few other posters. Anyway I thought we were brilliant yesterday, there is that better.

Wonder who that's down to.We are two games into the season and now playing against teams that are fighting hard to get points. We have to remember we are in lge 2 so games wont be pretty. The most important thing in my opinion was to make sure we didnt lose the first game as that would have given rise to a lot of doubt. Secondly it was massively important to follow up the Bratford result with a home win, which we did despite ot playing well. Obviously we need to improve performances but these 2 results are massive for our season and should not be u der estimated.
