Plymouth Argyle have survival 'belief', says Muslic

Miron Muslic succeeded Wayne Rooney as Plymouth Argyle head coach

Plymouth Argyle head coach Miron Muslic says his side have the "belief" to keep their Championship survival hopes alive.

The Pilgrims are three points from safety at the bottom of the table with two games to play, starting with a must-win trip to Preston North End on Saturday.

Argyle go into the game in good form, having won three of their past five games beating Norwich City, Sheffield United and Coventry City at home.

"The recent weeks have just confirmed our self-confidence and the belief inside this team that we can achieve this," Muslic told BBC Radio Devon.

"The next must-win is just around the corner and we can only control what we have in our hands, and that's purely our performance."

Argyle's poor goal difference means they could be facing the drop before kick-off should Luton Town win their lunchtime game with Coventry.

But Muslic says while he cannot stop his players finding out other results, he can ensure his team try to keep their own results under their control.

"We can't control what happens in other stadiums and this will have no influence on us, because in the end we just have to do our job, grab the three points and see where we are," he said.

"Our obligation is to go out and give our all, regardless of what happens before, and that's exactly the mindset we have inside this team.

"I think if you looked at the last performance here on Monday against Coventry, then you can imagine that we are ready to do this."
