Suddenly becoming very mild here... yesterday at 12 noon our car park was still covered in frost.... today it is completely thawed and the grass has gone from white to green very quickly - even in the shade! Quite cloudy overhead and definitely warming up....

No surprises there, I'm sure they could have got the match on quite easily if they'd wanted to.

This all could have been avoided.

Yep.

Trace it back to the moment Wrexham had just equalised, and Gus STILL went ahead with immediately hauling off Navarro and Buckley, putting on Kasim and Rodgers in their place. The result - zero width and 6 kids, against a confident team with their tails up.

I'm not saying we would have gone on and won had those changes not been made - but he certainly made it as difficult as possible.

We might have got it on. Equally, we may have struggled to thaw the sides of the pitch that are in shade. If we'd waited until mid-afternoon, travelling fans (and I suspect we'll have almost as many as you coming up from down south) would have been messed around.

Easiest thing to do is call it off early (and it's the ref's decision, not ours) and let everyone know where we stand.

What's really angered me is this puts us in all sorts of trouble for Peterborough.

In fact, Gus may just ship more of the kids up to whatever hotel they're in for tomorrow and play an entirely different side now, and I'd be totally with him.

But then we would have missed the opportunity of seeing Brighton play in Europe with foriegn TV commentary...it going to be frigging hilarious if the highlights were anything to go by.

Don't get me wrong, I'm actually looking forward to it as well. But as per last season, the reason we've got another unwanted and inconvenient replay is squarely down to one fella.
