I was worried Butler treat the last 4 or 5 matches as if they were pre season friendlies and we were in poor form, but credit to him, they looked fresh and hungry.
Stiffled Southend in midfield and completely shut them out at the back and bullied them, we never allowed them to play their own game. Shut them down.
Rochdale may well be suffering a hangover from their crazy game when they went from champions to also rans in a blink of an eye. They may very well be finding it hard to get over that.
Another performance like that with a little more football played by us and we could do this. Looked really solid.
