With a great deal of focus being naturally given to the FA Cup, it's vital (as others have said) that our league form doesn't suffer. I welcome the draw against Huddersfield not least because it doesn't take too much attention away from our bread & butter business, and I'm confident that's where Hilly's focus will be turned right now
To that end, thank goodness we don't have the fixture at Luton in the Checkatrade to deal with tonight. Yeah, yeah, I know it can bring additional income and the possibility of an appearance at Wembley, but as a club we've got enough on our plate right now. And is there anyone who'd be looking forward to a trip down there tonight, followed by another even longer journey on Saturday?

If the anticipated weather does indeed arrive I fear there will be quite a few games called off, even down south they are in for some of the white stuff falling from the skies...... |  |

Very difficult away game is this. We should be better rested than we have recently but sometimes that can have a negative effect. It's also a fair distance. |  |

Losing to the spireites could indeed be a blessing.
Luton tonight and then southend sat? D_Alien is right maybe better we are out of the checkatrade cup.
Southend day temps are 5 degree friday and 3 degree Saturday.
Minus 1 overnight Friday into Saturday so should be ok.
Good time to play them I recon after they shipped 4 to Sheffield United last week and had a pasting. Their good mini run is ended.
They were dreadful at Spotland!!! | | | |

We absolutely hammered them at home not so long ago. Having said that, their 4-2 defeat to Sheffield United last week was their first loss in 13 games I believe. We're second in the form table so it should be a good match against tough opposition.
I had a perusal of their message board recently and many of them are a ridiculously (to the point of absurdity!) confident bunch.
"We are as good as any other teams in the League this year if we can keep It going.
Automatic looks good.
Winning League I hope
Play Offs Definite." |  | | |

13 league games without a defeat (they lost a couple of cup matches) up to last Saturday - and the previous league defeat to that was against Dale on 8 October.
Since that win Dale have lost 4 times in the league, but haven't had a league draw since the 2-2 at Bristol R. on 10 September.
On paper, it looks very evenly balanced (thought the Shrimpers fans might say otherwise). | | | |

On the subject of the weather, the benefit of those newer covers bought with the help of the Trust is that they can be put on pretty quickly.
This means they can be used overnight during the upcoming colder weather to ensure frost doesn't get into the problem areas of the pitch ahead of the next home game. Easy to remove during the day too (around 30 mins as per the club: http://www.daletrust.co.uk/2015/02/response-to-questions-raised-by-members/ ) |  |

I am optimistic and think we can win.
We are in a terrific run off good form and collectively the group looks very close knit and together...
Good tine to play the shrimpers after they lost that confident air last week. | | | |
