Welcome to Clueless , our informal weekly clue setting competition.

The idea is to compose a cryptic clue to a given word or phrase.

The winner of the previous week's competition both sets the word to be clued and judges the entries for the current week.

The judge's decision is final and reasons may or may not be given at the judge's discretion. It is customary for the judge to award a virtual prize to the winner.

Multiple entries may be submitted and new competitors are particularly welcome.

Clues should be submitted by 6pm BST on Wednesday 2nd November with the winner being announced shortly after.

The answer to be clued is:

FALLBACK

Have fun.

Drop support for alternative plan. (8)



(I wasn't convinced that drop=fall, but they are given as synonyms in Chambers)

Surrender to down-under Rugby team? (8)

Sorry, small addition

Surrender to The down-under Rugby team? (8)

Please ignore this ! I have forgotten letters!

Try again ! (apologies!!)

Surrender to Full yet reduced down-under team? (8)

Take a dive! (Player's plan B) (8)

Defender is losing, for all to see, but has a second alternative (8)

Fellow expresses regret about pound's reduced value (8)

Down clue
