From the Dugout – Luke Garrard
“I don’t think that they will need a team talk personally. I think that when you have been handed a 4-0 battering; yeah maybe the performance wasn’t a 4-0 and didn’t reflect that, and the two decisions played a massive part; but to play them again in such quick succession, I think that the boys need a reaction.
“They should use that as a catalyst to continue doing what they have done and I feel that we will go there with a focus, that we need to repay them the favour in terms of the result they came and handed us here.
“I have got to be honest, I have got a group in there who are focused and they are as professional as anything.
“I know that they know that the job in hand for Sutton is massive. We are in the playoffs now and we don’t want to look back.”
