How do you reset a struggling team? New Sutton United Head Coach Chris Agutter has declared a 'clean slate,' and on this episode of the Sutton Podcast, fan favourite Andy K dives deep into what that means for the club.

Andy joins host Mike Dowling to dissect the tense 0-0 draw against Braintree Town—Agutter's first game in charge—which offered the squad a crucial, confidence-building clean sheet. They discuss the challenges of the brutal Braintree weather, the immediate tactical differences under the new management, and the crucial role of David Ogbonna, who was "brimming with confidence".

Quote Highlight: Andy argues that the key to unlocking the team's potential lies in simplicity: "I think the confidence will come back... It's a clean slate. They're gonna be viewed on... based on a blank sheet of paper in the same way that us fans are going to be looking at the manager in the same way."

We wrap up with a look ahead to the massive FA Cup Fourth Qualifying Round fixture against Farnham Town, a true 'banana skin' tie that is now crucial for a much-needed morale boost and financial injection.

Guests: Mike Dowling (Host) & Andy Kay (Sutton United Fan).
