Bolton Wanderers boss Ian Evatt felt the decision to call off his side's away game against Salford City was the correct one.
The Trotters were due to be in action today against the Ammies at the Peninsula Stadium for a 3pm kick-off in League Two.
But the encounter was called off at around 1.50pm this afternoon after several pitch inspections took place amid rainfall in Salford.
On the most recent inspection, the referee took to the pitch with a ball to check some areas of the Peninsula Stadium pitch which were causing concern.
And following discussions with both management teams, the decision was taken to call the game off in light of a waterlogged pitch.
The game will be rescheduled for a date which is yet to be confirmed.
Wanderers boss Evatt spoke after the game and had his say on the postponement, which means Bolton have had their last two games called off, following the midweek postponement against Mansfield Town, which was also called off due to a waterlogged pitch.
But Evatt did not have any complaints with the decision made today and felt the right decision was made.
He said: “We all wanted the game on but you can see with your own eyes that the pitch just isn’t playable.
“We are in the lap of the Gods with the weather at the minute but you could see by the roll and bounce of the ball, it just wasn’t happening. A team like us that try to play football, it was just going to be a complete lottery, especially as there is more rain forecast. The referee has made the right call, I think.
“The benefit now is that we now have a bigger and more competitive squad so hopefully we can cope with it but, no, it’s definitely not ideal.
“We are jumping back on to the coach now and heading back up to Lostock to train.
“I know Richie Wellens well and when I got here today I went out to look at the pitch I went back in to say him and said ‘I’d be amazed if this game is on.’
“Richie said: ‘Really? I have been told all day it would be on but I’ve tried not to get involved myself.
“The ref said he was looking at the pitch at 1.45pm and to be fair to the Salford ground staff they put a good shift in to try and get the game on, they were doing their best.
“But, for me, we’d have been better off tossing a coin on a pitch like that to decide who wins, you couldn’t play football on it. And the conditions were only going to get worse because the forecast is heavy.”
