Two wins. Four goals scored. None conceded.</p><p>Not a bad start to our promotion-winning season...</p><p>Mike is joined by Carl and Paul to look back at Sutton United's 1-0 win over Altrincham and a performance that was very different from the opening-day victory at Woking.</p><p>It wasn't always pretty, but does winning a game like this tell us something important about this Sutton side? We discuss winning ugly, adapting the way we play depending on the opposition, the increasingly impressive Will Nightingale, coping with Jake Taylor going off injured and the options Sutton suddenly seem to have throughout the squad.</p><p>There's also plenty on Temi Babalola's physical presence, David Ogbonna making it two goals in two games, Spike Brits and those back-to-back clean sheets. Most importantly, when does a good start become evidence that we might actually be quite good?</p><p>Away from the match, Carl and Paul model the new lavender third shirt, we talk upcoming away coaches and Sarah's slightly mad plan to cycle to every Sutton United Women's away game this season to raise money for the team.</p><p>There's also the latest from our Play Nimbus fantasy league, some mixed feelings about the National League Cup ahead of Leicester City on Tuesday and a look towards next Saturday's 12.30 kick-off against Hartlepool, where two teams with 100% records and no goals conceded meet at Gander Green Lane.</p><p>And yes, Mike has already looked into how much notice you need to organise an open-top bus parade.
