Love how a stat can justify folks opinions and discredit others. Here?s another one?. Up till Saturday in the league 1 win at home, 1 goal from subs and 4 leads thrown away!!

Mmm and another stat being 7 th in table with 25 points. Leagues top scorers

So you haven't noticed, Mr Plonker, that all of those 'facts' were changed by us winning on Saturday!

I?ve made no comment about plan bs or otherwise. Simply pointing out folks will use stats to support their own view. And you are correct 2nd win at home and first clean sheet at home.

Agree we?re doing ok. Couldn?t care less about being top scorers but I would about league position. Think we could still get automatic

Without doubt I?d have taken this position at the start of the new campaign.

We are in a very nice position

It didn't take me long realise that many posters on this board have no clue about football. the "not having a plan b" non conversation is the tip of the iceberg

It?s only one persons view of our season so far. Your view or anyone else?s doesn?t make another view irrelevant. We all see different aspects in most games, only Tim has a consistent myopic view.

I started a thread questioning what exactly is plan B. Seems to be that either no one knows or the whole concept is nonsense. That could be why no one knows.
Also get the feeling in this thread that some might still be pining for Joe Quigs who would not be the answer to any plan at this level.

Thinking back to the Barrow game, would Grimes be the 'plan B'?
I know Araujo wasn't totally at his best so it might be a 'two birds with one stone' bringing Grimes on in that instance.
But there is no doubt he is an threat at set pieces

We really have to rely on defenders from high set pieces. Apart from Jaimie, Dunkley, Williams, Naylor and Banks do we have any other tall players. Although Colclough has scored a header and even Dobra in the cup against those Nomads.

When Ollie Banks jumps he barely gains a boot stud in height so I think we can count him out.

There is a chance Plan B may differ dependant on who the opponent is. If they have two giants at centre half there is little point lumping high balls towards them, even with a JQ up top.
There may be subtle changes (targeting down one flank, going through the middle, overloading left etc) that may be introduced during the game - just because it isn't a massively obvious change in formation, hoof-ball tactics or changes in personnel doesn't mean we haven't changed Plan A.
