So, weirdly, you think that anyone that has played competitive sport will never have confidence prior to a match? ... they never have a positive feeling that they will do well?
In sport, business, or life in general, people that go into situations with confidence (a feeling that they will do well) generally do better than those who expect to lose. There's a whole industry built on positive thinking, the best managers install confidence in their teams, and sports psychologists have become as important as star players on the pitch. So, I would guess that if you asked the Argyle players, and coaching staff, if they had a good feeling about playing Millwall away on Saturday, most, if not all, would say that they have a good feeling that they will do well; that's how people who play competitive sport think.
I also have a feeling that we will be ok on Saturday, I also think we'll be fine against Hull on May the 4th as well ... and if you need more substance to this "feeling", it's based on N&D being a million times better than Foster at installing confidence in the squad in general, but also because we've got a few good players to equal what Millwall have, but in Whattaker, more than anyone else, I reckon there's a performance coming ... the best players tend to do it when it's most needed ... and he's one of the best players I've ever seen in a green shirt.
Ok BG. You win. We can't beat Millwall. You probably didn't read the title of this thread before posting.....
We need to win both of our remaining games.
A limited team who beat us easily at HP . Anybody who thinks they will just roll over on Saturday is delusional. Don’t forget the pressure is off them.
It's one of those grounds that historically we don't do too badly at (famously ending their 59 game unbeaten home record in 1967.
The same couldn't be said for Stoke.
The older I'm getting, the more I'm mindful of these weird, unexplainable scenarios.
I can feel a point coming.

Appreciate that, but even our record at the New Den isn't too shabby, plenty of points picked up there over the years.
Think the title of this thread has become a little misleading now.
More negative thoughts than positive thoughts.

Here, s a positive thought, the summer break gives us the possibility of a total overhaul of the squad with a new manager at the helm. Get rid of injury plagued players, either sell or release, get rid of showponies, ie Calum Wright and every retained or signed player has to sign or renew their contracts for a term of three years. A solid basis on which to rebuild the playing staff. Off the field we have building blocks in place, eg Brickfields etc, on the pitch it's chaos. Time to address that situation, over to you Mr Hallett. Coygs!!
Hardly beat us easily. I know I'm negative but not in the same League as you.
Beat us easily? They were efficient but that was all. We had 66% possession, 21 shots against their 9, with 6 on target against their 3. Also, their final goal should have been chalked off which even the referee admitted afterwards. They did beat us easily when it came to fouls though.
I can assure you ,you are in the premier league for being negative/argumentative. In the home game Millwall toyed with us in the first half then decided to stop messing around, upped a gear and beat us 2-0 . One of the most professional displays I have witnessed this season.
Who gives a toss about possession, means absolutely nothing. It was an exercise in how to withstand pressure and get the job done. Those who underestimate Millwall could be in for a shock. I really hope that we get something out of the game but I wouldn’t put any money on it. Some fans are just clutching at straws.
