    Surprised Berry is starting, when we have so many options in that position, with fresher legs.
    Nothing wrong with Les Berry other than he is getting on a bit.

    Can I just say although we may prefer an alternative to Berry starting, it doesn’t suddenly make him a bad footballer. 
    Technically he’s fine at this level, lots of clever play and flicks plus an eye for goal. Physically he’s miles off it though, he covers plenty of ground but he’s just not quick or strong enough anymore to be effective as a starter

    When did he last have a good game? I can't remember, maybe you can help us?

    Presumably this is Roussillon? Size difference next to Anderson!

    With slippery conditions I hope we take some more shots and follow in well, much more chance the keeper makes a mistake 
    That goes both ways though. :/

    I think NJ's plan is to play as many as possible who have Championship experience, over half of this 11.
    He does not trust a lot of the League One players, who to be fair to NJ have not really stepped up.

    I get what everyone is saying about Berry but he does have nouse and if he gets hold of the ball, u can guarantee he will do the right thing with it and he knows where the net is - wouldn’t be surprised if he slides Kelman in for a goal today

    Probably couldn’t argue with that.

    Berry is strange but perhaps he is going man to man marking and the plan is Berry will do that job better than the other players.....having said that I bet (hope) he scores a hattrick

    Blackburn team and bench has been ravaged. We couldn't play them at a better time.

    Just finished reading the "preview" thread and it appears that we are going to be 19-0 up when the game gets called off. 

    My question is; who do we think is going to score our 19 goals?
    Game called off in the 80th minute, just after we go 19-0 up.

    We lose the rearranged game 1-0.

    You jest (I think) about the score but it is snowing hard. You may well be right about the game getting called off!

    De-faults to mute, you have to unmute for the sound, try that if you haven't already

    Snow coming down, TC don't look impressed...

    Why would snow cause it to be called off? Unless it's a complete blizzard and nobody can see. It won't be freezing if it's snowing and it won't waterlog the pitch.

    Berry is very good at organising the high press. Noticeably better since he has been playing.

    Can't see it being a problem, surface looks fine

    You can see how effective the undersoil heating is, by the snow settling at the front of the stand.
