Sutton Utd

[laddo]

Obviously deserve the title just like Barrow did last season. No parachute payments or even financial advantage required in either case.

watched all the game, Hartlepool didn't turn up

I don’t know if it’s because COVID restrictions have levelled the field somewhat, but I doubt if anyone expected Sutton to win the National League, Cheltenham to win League Two, Cambridge get promoted and for Morecambe to make the playoff final.

Fine provided Hartlepool don't turn up if we meet them

A very well done to them, thoroughly deserved as the league table doesn’t lie over 40 plus games. Obviously signed really well, one of the lads from Millwall I think on loan has been really good.

The season is a marathon not a sprint and Sutton thoroughly deserve their promotion and title win. For a neutral and football romance it’s always good to see clubs getting into the football league who have not been in it before. Last season Harrogate (at our expense) and this year Sutton.

We should not begrudge them or be envious and should not insult them or disrespect them due to their size. They have deserved it, earned it and have obviously made the best of the resources they have had at their disposal. They give hope to other non-league clubs that the football league is not beyond their reach.

Likewise it should be motivation for ex league clubs like ours and sends a message that you can’t just expect to come into this league and walk it based on past history. It’s a very competitive league and you’ve got to be very good and consistent against the lesser teams if you want to stand any chance of winning the title. That’s a harsh lesson this season has taught us.

100% agree, you need a tight knit squad against all odds to sometimes win leagues especially in lower divisions, Warnock has always done that, we benefited many years ago. We need to forget our history, forget our big stadium and realise the last 2 teams that have won it have done this.

All fur coat and no knickers?
