BJ sounded pretty down in his post match interview.
Rodney out for a few weeks and he’s not optimistic about Beckwith’s injury. Waiting for the results of a scan on Monday. |  | |  |

Many teams try to do that. We want them to, so we can then play through it. That’s why we produced in the first half that day. Today it was silly to continue to attempt it because of the aforementioned issues with the pitch slowing it all down. |
To be honest i don't think we are good enough to play through the better teams at home. When they put a high press on us we invariably make a mistake and we are punished. The Southend goal came as a result of them pressing us high and our keeper being caught out with his clearance. The better teams are clinical and that's what happened a few seconds later it's in our net. |  | | |

Have always thought the risks often outweigh the rewards myself, however it’s how they want to play and they’ll argue it works as the results are proving it. We’ve always looked better when we mix it up, but that’s just my opinion.
Don’t agree with some of what McNulty said, that game wasn’t anything like the Solihull or Utd u21s games. The pitch was unplayable from around the hour mark. If we hadn’t taken the lead, nobody would even be discussing the abandonment.
Not sure why there was doubt about what happens next either, of course the result won’t stand! Nor should it. |  |

To my mind today was very similar to the game against Halifax earlier in the season.
Overpowered to an extent in the first half and deservedly behind at the break only to become more gung-ho and direct in the second half.
If the keeper hadn’t made a good save and Gordon later cleared off the line in the first 45 then it might have been Dale asking for an abandonment. | | | |

Yes, it's not really a discussion what happens next, of course it's a replay. That first half performance and how we set up and try to execute the plan is one that we saw regularly last season...ponderous passing from the back, progression to the halfway line, pass it back to EEL and then to Beckwith and back and forth. Then expect EEL to play a perfectly weighted pass through the middle or out to the wing...on a saturated pitch today. In the meantime Southend are sitting back in their shape and evrrything is very predictable. It's too easy to play against. The moment we inject pace and intensity into our play we are transformed, evrrybody in the ground knows that's when we look at our best but unfortunately when it comes to these crunch games at home 'caution' seems to be the way we play and invariably we end up chasing the game. The condition of the pitch contributed to both our goals today and disguised what was a poor performance. | | | |

Write today off.
The pitch was holding the ball up right from kick off.
Next time we see Spotland it will be lush, green and perfect to play on.
Hopefully we'll still be top of the league!
We owe Accy hugely for this massive favour, let's support the club financially and respectfully for the two games that they host us. |  | | |

needs to be an investigation big fine points deduction for constantly failing to fulfil fixtures tier 10 clubs played their games today you are an utter disgrace how much time and money did you cost boston last season how many trips did they make?

It’s the same as we have played all season most recently last week against Eastleigh, we’ve never changed away from knocking it across the back but as you say, it was obvious it wasn’t working on that pitch. The players have to take more responsibility to recognise when it’s not possible on surfaces like today, because having to play that slowly nullifies how effective it’s been so far. The bench should be screaming at them to stop too. To their credit, it did get better towards the end of the half and definitely after the break.
I don’t think we set up cautiously, it was more a case of poor selection. Expecting Galvin to play so high and wide wasn’t working and it relied on Allarakhia to do all the work down that side. Same as when we played Berkoe in that role, doesn’t offer enough in the final third. That said, with Beckwith’s injury we might now see Galvin as LCB. Pritchard’s fitness may prove crucial these next couple of months. | |

I hope that when he referred to the club ignoring the fact that the pitch needed sorting that he was referring to previous administrations rather the current owners. | | | |

Absolutely the right decision to abandon the game. Both of our goals were because it was unplayable in large parts. However, the ridiculous amount of rain in the hours before and during play would have forced many games to be stopped...as happened in Blackburn.
Sorry to the Southend fans who made the journey in good numbers. Hopefully, you'll understand that neither of us wanted that outcome. Some of the comments I've read here and elsewhere are just ridiculous and demonstrate a lack of intelligence. ( Hi Rob)
The owners have now decided to invest a huge sum of money in completely relaying the pitch and more importantly, the drains, which just can't cope with the volume of rainfall we get in Rochdale. They are to be applauded for this and we are very grateful to them.
Safe journey home to all. | | | |

Well said
The pitch relay is happening in the nick of time. If our owners has chosen to go down a "keep using the dome" route, yesterday highlights how dangerous that would've been
Even with the new pitch, and especially until it settles down, i think it'd be wise to retain extra provision given the amounts of rain over a period of days we seem to be getting, remembering (as with Blackburn) there's no guarantees that a good quality surface and drainage will always be enough |  |

The Southend managers post match interview is worth a listen. He stated that the referee was concerned about the weather and mentioned it before the game started. The game became silly as it progressed and he was also quick to praise our club and groundstaff for their efforts to get the game on and completed. He didn't refer to our club as a 'car crash' and belittle it as our own manager did in his self absorbed defeatist interview. I accept it's my own fault for listening to his interviews. The referee was right to call the game off, the ball wasn't bouncing and was struggling to roll with probably a good 20 minutes still left to play. Yesterday was just one of those thngs, nobody was to blame. The pitch problem had been addressed and expensive plans put in place by our owners, derision and ctiticism wasn't needed by a club employee. Somebody who has been fully supported by the club over the last eighteen months. [Post edited 7 Dec 7:45]
