When was the last time we felt like we had a manager who actually had a plan B?

Hughes, Grant, Crawford, Johnston, Potter and Jefferies didn’t. McIntyre?

Tbf I feel like Jefferies sometimes did, we came back from being 1 or 2 goals down a few(?) times under him.

Wasn't there but Stenny away surely had a plan b.

Blue shorts and maroon socks for the away kit. Lovely.

Like the home strip but really not a fan of the white shorts (or white shorts with a Pars kit in general), especially when paired with predominantly white socks. Just doesn't look right!

Didn't Johnston's (awful) decision to try a back 3/5 the season after the playoffs contitute a plan B? Of course it was wildly unsuccessful (save for the opening game!) and quickly chucked for a 4-4-2. Dreadful squad that season and his poor decisions cost Johnston his job.

Mvoto up front was a plan straight from Plankton.

Morris up front before that too. Pretty sure I’d suggested both options on here first. Think JJ and AJ lurked here looking for advice.

Was never a fan of Morris returning. Fordyce was doing tremendously well and unceremoniously dumped out away to Alloa in the cup where we nearly gave away a 3 goal lead.

Did Johnston have a Plan A ....? I'm trying to remember one.

Aye, fair point. Not sure it was a plan though, we basically had a squad that was too good for this league and it showed.

The 'put a big defender up front' nonsense must have been tried by most managers. Total desperation stuff.

With Hay it was actually plan A as he dropped Brewster for Tod up top.

Fordyce was absolutely wash when he came back from injury.

Horrendous stuff, absolutely horrendous. Despised Hay as manager.

Could have been worse, it could have been like when Stuart Pearce took off an outfield player, brought on Nicky Weaver to play in goals and moved David James up front. With an outfield kit with "James 1" on the back, so it was clearly planned in advance. And with Jon Macken, an actual centre forward who at the time was their record signing sitting on the bench. Madness. Actually, I wonder if Peter Grant ever worked with "Psycho"?

Want to say this was vs Middlesbrough and decided who played UEFA Cup the following season?

Nah nae danger, got outpaced by John Sutton in the 4-3 St Mirren game. Glad Fordyce has done well since but Morris was 100% an upgrade.
