Hello & welcome to another episode of Sutton United Talk Time on Podcast. This was a double-header special after back-to-back home wins for Sutton United against Woking and Wealdstone.
Joining me were Gabriel, full of cautious optimism, and Mark, one of our regular voices who had finally shaken off his three-week cold. Between them, they brought perspective, realism and a bit of tactical chat to what felt like a turning point week at Gander Green Lane.
The standout theme? Momentum is fragile, but confidence changes everything.
Episode Highlights
1. Woking: Chaos, Character and Control
An early Kai Jennings goal set the tone. Then came the familiar self-inflicted wobble. A loose pass out from the back, an equaliser, and suddenly nerves were back.
But Brandon Njoku restored the lead. Then came the red card.
Instead of collapse, we saw fight. Jermaine Francis covered every blade of grass. Simper hit the bar. Ten men looked better than eleven.
2. The Discipline Debate
We’re top of the disciplinary charts...... again. Gabriel called it a “major issue”. Mark questioned whether refs subconsciously judge us quicker. Is it edge or is it excess?
Chris wants bite. But we can’t keep making games harder than they need to be.
3. Wealdstone: Structure and Sharpness
If Woking was emotional, Wealdstone was composed. A 3-0 win built on control.
Hayden Muller’s goal. Lewis Simper back to his best. Jennings reacting quickest for the third. A clean sheet that felt grown-up.
The 4-2-2-2 shape looks balanced. Junior tucked inside. Full-backs providing width. Less risky build-up. More purpose.
Guest Insights and Interactions
Gabriel kept returning to confidence. The Shrewsbury collapse still lingers, but this felt different. He described the ten-man performance as “heroic”.
Mark focused on structure. He highlighted how the team didn’t panic against Wealdstone, even before the goals. Controlled without overextending.
We all agreed on one thing. The Woking win shifted the mood. The crowd lifted. The players responded.
