[Archived] Rovers V Charlton

[Mike Graham]

Just went out for office biscuits. It is still heavy snow here in Liverpool.

[McClarky]

It had better not be postponed because of a piddling amount of snow after I've got up at 7 o'clock to come down.......I'll go radge if it is and my teenage daughter will go even radger as she doesn't like getting up at 7 o'clock on a Saturday I can tell you.

[Doug]

It's trying to snow here in Bolton. Not enough to worry about......yet!

Edit: getting heavier 10.15am.

2nd edit: Accy, Bury and Rochdale all postponed - 11.15am (snowing heavier here).

Yellow snow warning .. Does that mean it will be pissing down

Trust you to lower the tone ;-).

I'm working til 22:40 this eve and my train from Peterborough is at 7:05 tomorrow, so if they're going to call it off I hope it's today.

Had the same scenario for the Brighton match.

[Tom]

Cherry Tree was fine this morning

Probably 1cm of snow but no more

[gazsimm]

snowing heavy in bury at the moment and sticking.

[Mike Graham]

I will be closing our office early today.

This should result in an ealier Friday pint than usual.

You mean earlier than 10am?

Strangely seems snow is concentrated into pockets around the country. Has snowed heavily here in Ipswich, but just up the road in Colchester hardly a dusting.

Will be interesting to see if the game is on tomorrow. I'd guess not.

[ABBEY]

Just back from Wigan .. Loads of the white stuff .. Nowt in Blackburn hardly .

No reason to call it off yet.

"We've tinkered with a few little bits and pieces in the team. I want to play to the player's strengths so you might see a couple of changes to how we go about the game and how we approach it and i'm sure that will help the players."

Hope he means the team plays to Jordan Rhodes strengths.

With the personnel available I'm not sure we can play to Rhodes' strength (assuming by that you mean set the team up to try to create as many chances for him as possible). The only way we could improve is to try and play wingers who get crosses into the box...but then we've only really got Nunes that does that naturally, and his crossing is erratic.

The only way you'll achieve that is by having better players that are far stronger than the opposition. So, you can forget playing your Lowe's, Morris's, Formica's, Ettuhu's, and Orr's of this world as it wont happen it can never happen unless Charlton are of Bristol City's calibre.

Good to hear about Nunes disappointing to hear Formicas name being mentioned.

Charlton's last two leauge games... Won 4-3 AT Watford and then a 2-1 win over Blackpool... they're no mugs and certainly not of Bristol City's calibre...

1-1 is my prediction

Absolutely non just yet. Driven past Ewood Park and its all clear.

Unacceptable score Greggyk. Appleton simply has to win this game.

Very considerate. Where can I find your latest vacancies ?

Made me chuckle that.

You didn't make it up, did you?

[Mercer]

Anyone heard what expected gate is tomorrow ?

[tomphil]

It's up to the team to step it up now they know who the boss is. They showed what they can do under GB and in Bergs first couple of games so no hiding place now whether they like it or not.

2-1 Rovers

I was always warned to avoid the yellow snow owing to what makes it yellow ;-)

The position of the ' in "player's" suggests that he's talking about one player (Rhodes).

Yeah got that. It was the clever way it was tied to the weather.

It's got Abbey's name written... somewhere quite far away from it! Haha.

(Sorry Abs!!)
