Town may well see the postponement as a blessing in disguise with their squad paper thin and boss Steven Pressley struggling with injuries.

But the respite is short lived, Fleetwood travel to Colchester on Tuesday for another vital clash at the bottom of League One.

The trip to Rochdale is likely to be re-arranged for a date in February.
