Struggling with motivation 13:32 - Oct 25 with 2704 views | thrillseeker | I only live one mile from the ground but I am struggling with motivation to attend tonights match at £24 per ticket when I can stay at home in the warm and watch match for £10. What would you do? Attend match out of habit, no longer excitement, listen to the fans negativity, get cold, £24 on a ticket and spend on additional items, maybe a beer on way, cup of tea once in ground etc OR Stay at home in warm, save £14 + in money, watch match knowing if it is rubbish/ not entertaining I could watch other matches on TV or even just watch the scores come in on BBC website whilst doing something else. Really struggling with my decision making today - HELP | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Akinde is too awkward and despite his size doesn't win enough in the air. Still I'm not going to moan on too much. We are short on confidence and conceding a soft goal hasn't helped. I want to see Chilvers on second half together with Big Frank. | ![](/images/avatars/1043.gif) |

Mountain to climb to get one point let alone two Bloomfield out. No idea how to set a side up and win at this level. [Post edited 25 Oct 2022 21:03]

Struggling with motivation on 23:00 - Oct 25 with 2388 views | thrillseeker | I had decided to attend match before Burnsie's message I had real concerns with our starting XI and in all honesty I am still not sure of what formation we were playing. A strange game in which for 30-35 minutes of the 90 we were in control, Crawley were in control for about 25-30 minutes with the rest an equal split. I wish we had a number 9 like theirs. Overall I think we probably just about deserved a victory but alas missed chances have again cost us. I hate to dig out players but what did Judge do apart from create their equaliser. I was very disappointed with his overall performance. I think Skuse's legs have gone but we lost our shape when he went off. His experience and chat must be a guiding influence. Akinde did some good work chasing lost causes etc but I was disappointed he hardly won an aerial challenge. He missed some good chances It was nice to see us not messing around at the back when it was our goal kicks. Cracking goals by Newby & Tchamadeau and to be fair their equaliser was very well taken although really we gifted it to them. What was the injury to their number 3? Was it dislocated shoulder or broken arm? Surprised there was in excess of 2900 in attendance and even more surprised Crawley had around 200 - 250. I cannot ever recall them bringing that many on a Saturday. Roll on Saturday against an in form Stevenage | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
Struggling with motivation on 13:05 - Oct 26 with 2282 views | Witham | One of the most encouraging things last night was the manager making players sign autographs for all the kids at the end of the game.
