The season is done… but what was it? Success or disappointment?
Join Mike, David and Andy as we look back on a rollercoaster year for Sutton United. From a nightmare start and the departure of Steve Morison, to Chris Agutter coming in and steadying the ship, there’s plenty to unpack.
We get into the big question: does finishing 14th represent a solid achievement… or is it a sign of decline after a decade of progress?
There’s a lot in this one:
Why survival genuinely mattered this season
The strange “14th highest ever vs worst in 10 years” debate
What actually changed under Agutter
The impact of key players like Kai Jennings and Jake Taylor
Why discipline and mentality held us back
Playing out from the back vs mixing it up
And whether fans (all of us included) need to rethink how we react
We also talk about expectations. Sutton United isn’t the same club it was 10 years ago, but it’s not one of the big boys in this league either. So where do we actually sit?
And most importantly… what needs to change next season?
Whether you’ve followed Sutton for decades or only joined during the League Two years, this is a proper reflection on where we are and where we’re going.
