Millwall v Argyle - the build up
- Thread starter PL2 3DQ
- Start date
But I would suggest that the pressure on them was far greater than playing for the errr mighty Greens in a relegation fight from the Championship. No disrespect of course, mind you to be fair, facing Millwall at the Den probably isn't too dissimilar to facing the Vietcong!.( Sorry to all those outraged at the comparison, I apologise in advance).
Except they were all generational talents.
Exactly my point, they weren't "generational talents" when they were first selected. Francis was 16, I used to watch him play for Plymouth schoolboys. Nobody can tell how these players are going to react to pressure until they are selected and put under pressure. Issaka is a very talented player who needs to be given game time. Cricky moses he, s 18 now not 8.Get him on the field of play. Let him free.
Wow - that's quite a story. What a guy! I'm sure the GA there today will show their full appreciation maybe even a chant of "one Roy Larner"? Don't understand why they couldn't do the presentation just before kick-off though.
Heart wants a win or draw
Head sadly says a loss.
If Hardie and MW start up front then we wont score. Nothing agaisnt them they have been fantastic but they are soo cold at the minute. I hope they prove me wrong. Maybe they have been on fire in training.
Just concentrating so much more on the brum result today. 😔

If Millwall score 1st it could be a long afternoon
I am expecting a full on physical onslaught as they will look to disrupt & unnerve us with the tactics they adopt
This is a extremely streetwise Championship team & no doubt they will have the referee in their pocket the entire game
I just hope the older pros in our team are able to rein in our younger players as we do not want a slew of yellow cards being given out for frustration which could boil out into something worse over the period of the game
Millwall are no mugs & will know how to play us
No time for respecting the opponent today we need to show the Lions we are not a bunch of pussy cats

The whole "a team is already safe so they will not take the game as seriously" or "a team is safe so they play without freedom" are narratives that only are decided after the game.. at the moment it's like Schrödinger's cat. Which one will we observe?
Well today's going to be the day, our destiny is in our own hands. I will gladly take a draw today & see what the others do. Huddersfield v Birmingham & Wednesday v WBA, I cannot see Wednesday continue to win games, WBA need the points to be certain of the playoffs. The other game a draw would be great.
COYG'S let do this!!
Having just checked the table, WBA & Norwich look certain to be in the playoffs, no way will Hull catch either, not with the goal difference.

Its horrible to think we could feasibly be safe today, or equally in the relegation zone going into the last day. Would feel like Mk Dons again, playing Hull next week if we need a result
Nothing is certain in football. Depends what fate has in store for us. In a way our destiny is not in our hands but Millwall’s 🤔
Yep the uncertainty is horrible. Just put us out of our misery either way!
Feeling VERY nervous about this game, there’s a horrible feel about it.
Yep. Recent games for me have been a mixture of nervous excitement and dread. Today there is only dread.
I'll be watching it through my fingers and may even need a stiff drink.
