Have you ever watched your team go behind early and still felt confident they'd come back to win?
On this week's episode of Sutton United Talk Time on Podcast, I was joined by Neil and Harry to break down a dramatic Sutton United victory against AFC Fylde, along with insights into the ladies’ team's thrilling win, and a brief (thankfully!) look at the Halifax match.
We kicked things off discussing Neil and Harry's first Sutton matches, sharing some great memories that shaped their passion for the club. Neil vividly remembered a lively encounter against Swindon, while Harry’s first game merged into his early memories playing for Sutton's community teams.
The standout discussion revolved around the midweek AFC Fylde match. We reflected on how going a goal behind early didn't shake our belief in the team. Neil noted, "I wasn't uncomfortable at 1-0; a goal was definitely coming," emphasising how Sutton’s style of play kept hope alive.
We couldn't skip the excitement of the women’s team's recent 4-3 victory. Harry captured the atmosphere perfectly, noting, "It was high intensity back and forth with intent," highlighting the growing support for the ladies' matches at Gander Green Lane.
As a bonus Mike even managed to get onto his beloved ‘Curva’ for a few glorious minutes!
Neil and Harry both highlighted the turning point in the Fylde game - Jack Sims’ crucial penalty save. Neil confidently summed up the feeling in the ground, saying, "I was confident" reflecting a shared belief in the team’s resilience that echoed through the stands.
We dived deep into how substitutes made a significant impact. Josh Coley’s entry onto the pitch completely changed the game. As Harry noted, Josh "wanted to prove a point," and did just that by winning a decisive penalty. Neil praised Finn Barbrook’s composure for his equalising goal, underlining Sutton's ability to deliver under pressure.
