Went on my own and left home at about 17:30 and had to get the buses as the Thameslink train was down as per usual from Streatham. I got on a 201 and went to Morden to get a 413 to the ground. I got to the ground just after 18:30 ish and started to sell programmes. Once finished I stood behind the goal with the majority of the Sutton fans. We dominated the 1st half but didn't create too many chances but the chances created should have been put away. Took the lead through a penalty and looked comfortable until we gave ball away to Braintree who then won and scored a penalty just before HT. 2nd half was similar to 1st in that we had all the ball but created few chances but the ones created were not put away due to poor finishing. Braintree went up other end in 90th mins and scored a well taken goal to win the game. We weren't clinical enough along with poor forward play by Chris Dickson. Got picked up from ground by Mum, Dad & Joesph in car and got home at about 22:00 ish.
