Yep, it is indeed a confidence game. Eg ... I pot a pool game or 2 and sometimes I take the table I can't miss a pot, other times I can't pot a shot ... no idea why, I don't do it on purpose, when I'm off then it's as tho' I know I'm gonna miss, and I do ... it's a mental thing.

Just like rugby I suppose .... one day you think you're super man and will smash through 3 tacklers. Next day you run slow cos you think they'll hurt yer. As the great Frank Sinatra once sang ... "That's Life". But hey, as the great Alexander O Neil one sang "All you wanna do is criticise" ... let's not do that, eh? Let's appreciate it's a flaming hard sport, I certainly wouldn't wanna do it, so let's just get behind the lads for the rest of the season.

Top post true that, I play 5 a side footy and some weeks I score for fun it just seems to come natural then others I cannot do anything right.
Lets hope the lads get their confidence back for the run in and play offs, I think they will especially our pack we need them to.

i was thinking the same we needed something to push us on.

i doubt it would have been much good to us to have won every game towards the end of the season complacency could be a factor

confidence maybe down at the minute but we have time to build that back up again in the remaining games.
