In today's Independent, an article by Nick Callow, Dave and some more fans tell it like it really is.
"Most of us are resigned to where we are and what we are, a mediocre Championship side," Goodwill said. "In fact, we are probably worse than that, as we are closer to the bottom than the top.
"In the pub on Tuesday someone said how we had a big game against Wigan. We just looked at each other and started laughing. We would not even have contemplated playing Wigan a couple of years ago, let alone it being a big game."
Goodwill, 40, is a member of an unofficial supporters' group called the Maverick Whites. They charter and fill at least one coach to every away game. "The home fans like to have a go, and we always hear 'You're not famous any more'. We just stand there thinking, 'Why is your ground full then?' Everywhere we go it's full because we still carry a reputation and a following. The fans have always stuck behind the team and I don't think any individual, with the occasional exception of Michael Duberry, has got much stick.
"The sad thing is we no longer have any players who make you think, 'I couldn't do that' or get you out of your seat, just a load of journeymen. Neil Sullivan, the goalkeeper, is probably the only player we have who should be playing at a higher level.
"We accept the financial restraints and think that Kevin Blackwell has done a reasonable job, but it could take four or five years to get back up, if we stay up. The worrying thing is that every game we play away is a like a cup final for the opposition and we haven't got the players to cope with that. It means we have to do well in our home games, and we're not so far.
"That said, this season has made a refreshing change in some ways. We're going to new grounds and new pubs. It gets a bit dull going to St James' Park and Highbury after 20-odd years.
"It's great when you go to those places and win, Wigan will enjoy the Premiership for a year or two, but it's not all it's cracked up to be."
John Boocock, chairman of the Leeds United Supporters Trust, seems to agree: "There's a massive difference between even a poor team in the Premiership and what we've got now," he said. "When you see Manchester United beating Arsenal, you think, 'Yeah, we were the last team to do that'.
"I know a lot of people who are still going to matches just out of comradeship, not because they expect to see exciting football. However it's dressed up, it's not a football team that's going places."
Phil Hoffbrand is a life-long Whites fan and a London-based publican. He does not get to go to as many games as he would like because of his long working hours and where he lives. He explained: "I think the accurate description of me would be someone who has become so pissed off with the situation/club that he seriously resents throwing more money at them, and feels very cheated, but like most fans will always support them, and will no doubt be back for more."
