... to spend any more money whatsoever at the Proact.

I can't think of one. And until i can, quite simply, I won't be.

I don't expect to see us win every game. I don't even expect goals every game. I expect desire and at least an attempt to win.

That's all.

A reason could be, because you are a supporter of the football team?

The desire was there tbf (Gboly apart), just not the strength or quality to do anything about it.

My passion is quickly dying, but it's nothing to do with how poor a side we are!

I am. But that alone doesn't justify the money I'm expected to spend on it.
I don't like to waste money. Today, the £20 spent on the match ticket was that. A waste of money. No efforts on goal (free kick aside) no desire to attack in the last 15 mins when losing and the beer didn't taste great either.
So, I ask again: why should I spend my hard earned money on this.

I want to. I really do. But I just can't justify it.

I have purposely chosen not to go today and took in the Derbyshire senior cup game Clay Cross Town v Graham Street Prims and 22 players playing with passion for the game. I won't say I won't be back because I will but it's refreshing to see players and officials of clubs in it for the pleasure of it.

Like I said, all I want is desire. The one who showed the most was Wilkinson and he's not even our player.
1-0 down. 10 mins to go. I expect the kitchen sink being thrown. They didn't even throw the plug!
Don't even get me started on Gboly...

TBH football is something you don't know if it's going to be value for money at the time of paying and taking your seat, that's the beauty of it. Anything can happen on the day. I'd probably just get another interest or maybe sit in with the fire on watching a film, £20 safe in your back burner.

Beautiful. I feel I should try it sometime.

A few positives:

1) McGuire has done extremely well.

2) Nolan looks like an exceptional find.

3) Wilkinson's done well.

Question!

Anderson's arrival improved the defensive since him partnering Hird and Not Evatt??

Thoughts.

I thought Anderson battled very well today, put his body on the line on several occasions.

I haven't been to a home game since Walsall at home in the cup last season. I have no intention of returning in the near future.

I thought most of them tried really hard, especially in defence, it could/should have been so much worse but it's difficult to get a grip when the opposition is that much better and playing with confidence.
Gboly seems to have developed an attitude problem, which with a fully fit squad might've seen him dropped by now. If he keeps it up he's going nowhere in January, so the ball is firmly in his court.
Hope they can respond on Tuesday.

That sounds like reason enough. Ched should be fit soon. There are more teams crapping it then us.
