Bit of a melee in our six yard box but we manage to get it away somehow.

aliwibble

We come down their left, play the ball inside and Asiimwe gets fouled about 10 yards from their area.

CBT scores, but as he doesn't celebrate wildly, he's clearly off in January 

Was he waving goodbye?

Had the stream on for ten mins (petrol head wanted it ) then read Charlton life to see what’s been happening and who’s playing and then to my surprise see CBT had scored and we are 1-0 up … i hadn’t even looked at the score … wibble wibble 

aliwibble

Fraser takes the kick and it's just wide to the right off the goal.

Good run from CBT sets up Fraser to Asiimwe who is upended, free kick RH side of the D, Fraser takes, just wide of the LH upright

aliwibble

Edun tries to play the ball inside to CBT but it deflects off a defender and we have a corner instead.

aliwibble

Fraser takes the corner, defence heads it up in the air, but we can't make the most of it.

eastterrace6168

Sutton have brought a good showing...fair play

ElliotCAFC

Fraser looks so much fitter 

aliwibble

Sutton have a free kick just inside our half, launched into the box and it's headed out for their corner by Ness.

This run of cup games has been beneficial for both Fraser and McGrandles.

aliwibble

Walker punches the corner away slightly limply, ball comes back in and he punches again. Still not entirely convince by him really.

aliwibble

We concede a free kick deep into their half, the Sutton player appears to try to chip Walker but he catches that one easily.

You're not alone there!

For a big man, he really doesn't look comfortable under a high ball.

eastterrace6168

Gone very static, and Sutton def have the better ideas when they have the ball, we will need at least one more tonight, probably more

aliwibble

Edun taken out just inside their half and we get a free kick. Pass it about a bit,  nice bit of work between Leaburn and McGrandles on the edge of their box but the final ball not quite there.

aliwibble

Great run from CBT and good feet to keep possession, but shoots wide.

eastterrace6168

CBT needs to realise there are team mates in better positions sometimes...

killerandflash

CBT and Edun both really lively. Nearly all our threat is down the left.

eastterrace6168

Walker should have come for that cross rather than leave to Ness, corner to Sutton..

aliwibble

Sutton have a corner from the right, Walker just tips away under pressure, so next corner from the left. Second one comes in and they head it into the side netting.

killerandflash

We have an obvious weakness in the air tonight, with just one CB and a flappy keeper.

aliwibble

Sutton come forward again, Asiimwe misses his challenge,  shot deflected off Ness for another corner.

eastterrace6168

Can Walker ever catch the bloody ball...punches everything ffs

aliwibble

Walker punches away again and it's out for a throw by the tunnel. Taken short surprisingly but we get possession again.

aliwibble

Good defensive work from L Watson, and it looks like another long throw by the tunnel.

aliwibble

That get headed away bby McGrandles, they have a shot from distance but Walker can catch easily.

eastterrace6168

Lovely lay off from CBT to TC, shot well saved by near post

killerandflash

Decent shot by TC, again after an attack on the left
