The Roots Hall pitch had been damaged by the extreme weather conditions and had passed an afternoon inspection before the clash was postponed.The Iron had travelled to Southend with a strong squad and Adkins fears he may not have that luxury when the re-arranged game is played."We probably won't be as strong as this when we come down again," Adkins told the Scunthorpe Telegraph."We'll probably have an injury or suspension. We're in a good run of form and wanted that to continue."I can understand the referee's decision. Everyone will ask questions, but could it have been handled any better? I don't know. We can only control what we can control and this wasn't our shout."
