Andy Thorn has been speaking to the CT about his "plan B" for next season.

Thorn explained,
Thorn has insisted he will not return to the 4-4-2 formations that were favoured by previous managers and that produced unattractive football which the fans disliked, but he recognises the need for an alternative option. He will persist with the midfield diamond formation, but he intends to add twists and tweaks to it to confuse and disorient the opposition.“I think you have to have a back-up plan. It’s all right playing open football to an extent but you need something else so we are currently working on and talking about a Plan B, if you like."
“We had one anyway but we have been talking about different systems and where the players can fit in and get the best out of them. So we’ll have one next season and I’ll probably try it out in pre-season."
“It is something we will be able to change during the game or before the game. We have got two or three that we like and we will work on them and whatever suits us best we will do.”
He continued,
“We had ten games in the end and we didn’t change the system. Everyone knew how we played but we started to get better and better at it and it is a case of other teams changing their system to come and stop us. The last game at Norwich we matched them up because they play the same way, and they have played it a lot longer than us."
"There were times when we couldn’t get near them and times when they couldn’t get near us either, but there are a few things we want to try when we get back, but we won’t be 4-4-2, that’s for sure. We will have bodies in different areas and playing the way we have been playing within different systems we want to try out."
“We might play one half a diamond and one half something else in the pre-season that we have been working on because that’s the chance to work on it.”
