Sutton United were founded in 1898, Play at Gander Green Lane Stadium, which has a capacity of 5,013 (765 Seated) & are nicknamed The Us, The Amber and Chocolates & The Yellows.
Manager Matt Gray was a youth product of Tottenham Hotspur and Cardiff City, Gray had an unassuming senior career in the National League.
He began his senior career at Barnet, with stints at Hayes, and Havant & Waterlooville where he was appointed the captain. He ended his playing career at 25, due to various injuries.
His Managerial career stats for his only club are: P 113, W 53, D 28, L 32 = 46.90 % Win Rate.
Sutton United's main rivals are Bromley, Carshalton Athletic, AFC Wimbledon, Kingstonian and Tooting & Mitcham.
Sutton are currently 6th in L2 with BRFC in 16th, should be a good tough old tussle, we will win 2-1 IMO.

Match Preview - Rovers welcome Sutton United to the Mem in the Emirates FA Cup second round.
Rovers reached this stage of the FA Cup after beating Oxford United 4-3 in a dramatic first round replay with super sub, Sion Spence netting two of those four goals. Rovers' award for the victory is the visit of Matt Gray's Sutton United who overcame Hayes & Yeading United in the first round. Below is all the information you need ahead of tomorrow's fixture!
Saturday's visitors are currently on a three game winning streak. Sutton required a penalty shoot-out to claim victory over Stevanage in the Papa John's Trophy and come into Saturday's game at the Mem having kept clean sheets in five of their last six games. Our visitors are currently 6th in the Sky Bet League Two with 32 points from 19 games so far this season.
Winger, David Ajiboye currently tops the goal scoring charts for the U's this season. The Englishman has 4 goals and two assists to his name in the league this year with 0.9 of his goals coming from outside of the penalty area.
Darren Drysdale is the man in the middle for Saturday's clash at the Mem. Drysdale last officiated a Rovers game in May 2019 in our 2-1 home win against Barnsley where Alex Rodman's double sealed the win for the Gas. Across League One, League Two and the League Cup this season, Drysdale has taken charge of 13 games and averages 21.62 fouls per game so far this season. Drysdale has dished out 48 yellow cards and 3 yellow cards this season. On average, Drysdale hands out 3.69 yellow cards per game and 0.23 red cards per game.

Got me ticket,looking forward to it! And me. Makes a change from the league, dunnit? Will we see another cracker, like the Oxford game?
Will we get through to the 3rd round? Will our manager make it through the 90 minutes, without the intervention of Avon and Somerset Constabulary? Bring it on!!

Really hope Rovers win this for B*****'s successor to inherit a place in the third round. I'll get the first wish; Rovers will win. The second, I will not; B***** will remain through Third Round Weekend.

Let's assume just for a change that we might just win this game, who do you want in the 3rd round ?
My liking would be West Ham United away.

KB saying 1st half a very lacklustre performance from Rovers
sounds bored really
suggesting move to a back 4, adding Hoole, and need some guile up front/move the ball quicker
