What’s better than a winning run? A winning run where the team is finally clicking, playing with confidence, and proving that patience pays off. Sutton United fans have been waiting for things to gel, and as Julian put it, “They all enjoy playing together anyway.” That’s a game-changer.
Introduction
In this episode of the Sutton United Talk Time on Podcast, Mike is joined by Julian and Dan to break down Sutton’s post-Christmas surge in form. After a rocky start to the season, the team looks settled, organised, and, crucially, like they’re enjoying their football. The trio discuss the recent FA Trophy win over Kidderminster Harriers, defensive improvements, and why confidence is flowing ahead of the Hartlepool match.
Episode Highlights
The conversation kicks off with some good-natured banter. Julian jokes about dodging Mike’s emails for a year, while Dan’s bright kitchen lighting earns him the title of “guru-like.” But once they get into the football chat, it’s all about Sutton’s transformation and the signs that this squad is starting to fulfil its potential.
Defensive Resilience – The backline, particularly the partnership of French and Kirk, is looking solid. Dan notes how the team is no longer panicking in key moments, learning when to clear their lines and when to hold their shape.
Tactical Adaptability – Sutton has been able to switch between formations mid-game, keeping opponents guessing. Mike highlights how this flexibility has been crucial in recent results.
The Influence of Substitutions – Changes at half-time against Kidderminster made all the difference. Julian praises the impact of Dillon De Silva, despite his missed chance to seal the game.
Finishing Touches – The conversation turns to Will Davies’ form and whether Dylan just needs one goal to spark a scoring run. As Dan puts it, “When it’s dagger time, we need to be ruthless and put the game to bed.”
Guest Insights & Key Quotes
Julian and Dan agree that the squad is finally finding its rhythm. With injuries easing, players are forming strong partnerships, and confidence is growing. Julian sums it up:
“They all enjoy playing together anyway. They seem that way. They seem to get on and are forging great partnerships.”
On the upcoming match against Hartlepool, Dan remains cautious but optimistic:
“We need to start winning at home more consistently. Hopefully, this will be an opportunity to get another win on the board.”
