Sutton United 1 Billericay Town 1

[GazzaBTFC]

Before the game I was asked by Tony "The Tash" would I take a point from this game and I said I would prefer all three. Just shows what greed can do eh?

 

The game was played at break neck speed with Sutton setting the pace. That doesn't reflect that in the first 15 minutes three chances fell to the 'Ricay forwards and we looked to score in every move forward. But if you don't take your chances, well...

 

Overall a pretty even game with Sutton having the better of the time on the ball but us having the better of the chances. Danny Hockton scored again to bring his tally to 4 in three games...a brilliant return for him. And, of course, bring us level on goals.

 

My man of the match? A difficult one this as only one or two looked a bit "out of sorts"...I'll go for Leon Hunter tonight...

 

So back to the question. Well, if you think, we have four points from Basingstoke and Sutton, not a bad return from teams that were in form teams bu a win here would've been nice as it would've taken us out of the relegation zone.

Never mind...It all comes to those who waits and Saturday is worth waiting for.

My PC's going mad! I've tried to post this three times!

 

Well done, no disrespect to your performance but we were a shambles tonight and were lucky that you didn't win.

 

I had some good chats with you guys at your place and thought your position at the time wasn't justified, we were lucky to win that game, let alone get a point tonight.

 

Our keeper was MOM tonight which says it all, good luck for the rest of the season.

Point probably a fair result - we definately didn't deserve to lose. 3 good chances opening 5 mins - Tommo had a shot pushed round the post by Iga, then from the corner Hockers header hit the bar. Minutes later Danny had another shot pushed round the post by Iga. Sutton took the lead with pretty much their first effort on target, then tried to kill the game off with 6 at the back every time we had the ball not allowing us any space and time.

 

2nd half a bit more open than the first, they hit the bar after Weaver had pulled off a good save to deny the first effort, Danny was denied by a point blank save from Iga before he finally got the goal he deserved after a nice 1-2 with Dorms he flicked the ball beyond Iga. Sutton who had been working really hard started to look tired in the final 15 mins, perhaps had the circumstances been different we might have gambled on bringing a couple of subs and going for the win, but we kept it tight and a point is a decent result.

I agree with Millsy, the keeper played a blinder, pulling off saves from close range that, in any other game, would've gone in.

 

A good night out and a fair result

Played well enough and had the chances to have returned with three points. My only criticism is that we didn't see Stowe or Black come on, especially towards the end when Sutton's defending was becoming a bit desperate. Somebodys gonna take a walloping soon, bring on the DCB's!!

I felt that a win by a either side would have been unfair on an even game. The save their keeper in the second half from close range from a Hockton has to be one of the best saves I have seen at any level

11th November 2003 V's Hendon, was the last time we lost an away match.
