I agree, we were so deep it made it easier and easier throughout the game for Sutton to pile on the pressure, at 1 nil then 1-1 I’d suggest we were probably the better team, granted we didn’t create much but neither did they, a second lucky break for the 2nd and all we had to do was hold on for 2 mins till half time. Their keeper was brave and just solidified the fact we were so deep and not pressuring enough, except romain Elliot who I think would run all night! (The ref wasn’t great, but we knew that we realised who it was, but he was worse for Sutton, how he gave our first, shocking really. Little mention for the Sutton bench, they were abusing fans in bristows all night, not good to see!).

Second half we gave away a sloppy goal, from another set piece!!!! Makes you wonder what they do in training all week, but then again, 3 mins injury time and we can’t hold on to, what would of been a good point. How many times this season have we conceded in the last 5 mins of games! So frustrating, the fat lady is walking to the stage for a solo vocal I think!!! Owers has to go, Harrop also(though he won’t!!)

Nicholson did a good job with the tools he was given. Merse does have an obsession with Nicholson and it's based on how he was given the job not on his ability as a Manager. With the ridiculous financial constraints he had to endure he still successfully completed his remit which as our former CEO has already confirmed was to keep us in the National League on a very low budget.

To be given 4 games after assembling a squad over the summer is ridiculous beyond words and we've definitely reaped what we've sown.

With the budget Halifax have given him he will be able to sign the players he targets and not get laughed out of the room when the talk turns to money.

As for will he stay. Well if he keeps us up then I think he will. If not I can see the club using the logic that he is a NLS type manager and keeping him on.
