A game we should have lost. A game we probably should have won. And somehow, a game we drew.
Mike is joined by Mark and Gabriel after Sutton United's remarkable 3-3 draw with Forest Green Rovers.
Forest Green started the better side and repeatedly punished Sutton on the counter, but by the end Chris Agutter was describing the result as two points dropped. With Sutton producing 15 shots, ten on target and a late comeback from 3-1 down, it's difficult to know whether to feel relieved or frustrated.
We discuss the defensive mistakes, Sutton's tactical shape and the risks that come with committing players forward, along with the penalty shout involving Will Nightingale and the effect of Forest Green's second-half red card.
There's also plenty of praise for Charlie Carter after a wonderful goal and another increasingly influential performance, while substitutes Brandon Njoku and Temi Babalola both found the net as Sutton showed, for the second week running, that they aren't particularly interested in accepting defeat quietly.
With ten league matches now played, we take a wider look at Sutton's 17 points and 10th place, before turning towards a busy week on the road and two very different tests at Tamworth and Kidderminster Harriers.
Plus Dundo returns, the Prediction League has finally broken the Dave monopoly, and we ask the question that probably sums Saturday up best:
A point rescued, or two points dropped?
