Just back...

Very interesting to hear in Jolley's post match interview that he prioritised today's game over the Chelsea game this week and this was reflected in his team selection.

He mentioned he's had it in mind for a while to go for pace up front against Exeter, as he thought they'd struggle to cope.

Hats off to a top gaffer

Well he would say that after a 7-1 defeat wouldn't he  

Seriously though now he was given himself a very big decision for the next game against Mansfield. Stick or twist. Not sure at this stage he is ready to tear up his original plans at the start of the season using Hanson and Green as the main forwards.

I guess we will find out next weekend.

UTM.

Didn't go to the game yesterday but from what I've seen i personally would stick with the same style and formation but have green and hanson on for Ogbu and Rose

Same, thought Hanson showed he can play that style when he came on. Was running the channels, holding it up, little lay offs and still won plenty of headers when he had too. Not the same pace as Mosses but better all rounder.

What is great is M.J. now as a PLAN B That as just beaten the best team in the division with some ease on their own patch.

The bloody pace to kill most teams off we certainly are looking a complete squad now.

We are in a great position in the league although Max Wright is fast becoming a rising star Akheem has the same pace if not more and skill if he gets a good run will prove it.

Cookie had a good game yesterday and Ogbu was on form even Whithouse pushed up with Hanson second half..

Last home game when Whitehouse was taken off the lad was fuming good to see such passion, he missed a full season last year and clearly relishes every minute on the field.

Add to that  the excellent Green we seem to have plenty of options up front and Vernon who I think is quality is finding it hard even to get in Midfield.

Great problems to have for M.J. and co. job now is to keep everyone happy lol.

We’ve got options to radically change the plan from game to game. That’s definitely progress. The trick is knowing which will work best against which team. The next stage of development will be to have a match day squad which is capable of changing the approach in a game.

Best change he made was Robson in place of Whitehouse. really helped the football we played as he kept the ball and used it well.

Those flipping Mind badges don’t stay upright! Pins below the centre of gravity.

If we think we have problems because of our location, Exeter must be at least as bad. Maybe Plymouth is a bit worse. So they’ve worked hard to make it attractive. Also owned by the fans - many hands make light work.

Did they have floodlight problems?

MJ is still learning his craft and each game will give him a better insight on how individuals perform in match conditions and in varying positions. Football is very much a squad game especially when you have a small squad and at League 2 level. I'm sure that once MJ finds the best playing positions to counteract  the opposition then we could easily see several plans accordingly. It's very comforting to have the likes of Hanson on the bench ( not that he isn't good enough to start ) so we can add a different dimension to our play as opposed to bringing on a like-for-like substitution.

We've been saying for a while now how teams have seen us play and set up accordingly to counter Hanson and Green.

Now we suddenly have a completely different style of playing.

Opposition managers don't know which style we are going with so will have to edge their bets when trying to outguess Jolley.
