That's why we can have a small squad and our oldest player still turns out at 40. Oppo fans complain, oppo managers complain, but oppo players don't. That's because most of them train on it.

One would suggest that gives you an advantage as you play on it more than anyone else. Also your goal difference is +23 at home whilst +8 away.

+ 23 is miles better than anyone else in the league. In general you don't look such a good team away from your home pitch.

Anyway if you do go up any perceived advantage will be negated as it will be more of a level playing field so to speak.

A nice touch, I thought!

I watched them play Wrexham on BT sport and their playing surface is a joke - this game just won't suit our style of play, as its basically impossible to complete a two yard pass.

Didn't the person from Sutton state that they had a fully fit squad? whilst we are missing a shedload?

Any team at this level is going to struggle to cope with the amount of injuries we have at the moment. People have to be realistic.
