    Not fussed how tonight went but it's stopped the rot.

    Same on Saturday would give me far more satisfaction.

    The league is what matters!

    No interest in this completion.

    Wouldn't be bothered if we lose to york
    Just another drain on the football fans resources.

    Now if it was the FA Cup then that is another matter but even that has lost some of its prestige.

    I and PP were just pointing art that you don't get points for winning cup games. No 3pts or 1 point.

    It's not a drain on your resources, you don't go to these games.

    No points again tonight, Johnson out. Three games without a point, he's useless. Bet he reckons we played well, blah, blah, blah.

    Correct and I never will.

    But it's a drain on football fans resources who pay enough without this tin pot trophy inflicting more financial outgoings

    But some confidence restored and a lift given to the players to remember what it is like to win. I hope we take the 'bounce' with us into our game at Roots Hall. we have done well there in recent years.

    Very True

    Can remember our visit when Nardiello bagged a brace.

    Was right behind the goal when that header went in

    See, I see it as the exact opposite. I can afford to go to cup matches at £10 a pop no problem, it's £27 on match days which I can't do. Cup games give me a chance to watch a couple of matches as I can watch almost 3 for the price of one normal match. I hate when we get knocked out as I don't get to go anymore.

    The fans who decide to go will make their own minds up wiart you getting offended on their behalf.

    Can't say I'm bothered about the paint cup thingy (although I did listen last night and I did go to the game against York last season, 'cos I just can't keep away) but you can bet if we get to Wembley I'll suddenly be very bothered about it.
