User:Half price/2010–11 Sutton United F.C. season

The 2010–2011 season was Sutton United's third year in the Isthmian League Premier Division and covers the period from 1 July 2010 to 30 June 2011.

Background
Sutton were relegated from the Conference South during its 2007–08 season. They finished with 24 points, which was then the lowest points total in the league's history. Their season still jointly holds the record for the fewest wins in a season, with 5. They joined the Isthmian League Premier Division.

Former Eastleigh assistant manager Paul Doswell was brought in as manager during the 2008 close-season, stating he wanted the club to gain promotion in two seasons. In the 2008–09 season, the club finished fifth in the league and reached the play–offs. They faced Staines Town away in the semi-final, but lost 3–0.

The 2009–10 season was Doswell's second in charge, ending with Sutton second, again gaining entry to the play-offs. This time, the team faced Kingstonian at home. They lost 4–2. Despite Doswell failing in his aim to gain promotion in two seasons, he stayed on as manager. In both seasons, Sutton reached the First Round proper of the FA Cup. In the 2008–09 FA Cup, the team played Notts County and lost 1–0. In the 2009–10 FA Cup, Sutton played Hereford United away and lost 2–0.

In May 2010, Sutton announced that they had signed striker Richard Jolly from Carshalton Athletic. Later in the month, it was announced that Craig Dundas, Sam Page and Fola Orilonishe would be signed and that Sonny Cobbs and Francis Quarm would be leaving. In addition, it was announced that Kennedy Adjei would be joining the club on a season-long loan from AFC Wimbledon.
