Team News
Micky Mellon revealed that a few players have trained less this week due to the recent schedule but has no major concerns heading into this game.
One to Watch
Jake Scrimshaw
A product of the academy at AFC Bournemouth, Jake Scrimshaw joined Scunthorpe on loan earlier this summer.
Yet to make his debut for the Cherries, the 20-year-old has spent time away from the club on various loan spells.
He’s had loan spells in non-league with Poole Town and Eastleigh, as well as spells in League Two with Walsall and Newport County.
Scrimshaw scored his first goal for the Iron in their draw with Sutton United last weekend.
Manager
Neil Cox
As a player, Neil Cox enjoyed a long career and played for the likes of Middlesbrough, Bolton, and Watford.
After retiring, he ventured into management with Leek Town, being appointed manager in October 2010.
He then moved onto AFC Wimbledon, working as Neal Ardley’s assistant manager from 2012 to 2018. Cox then followed Ardley, moving to Notts County.
In August 2020, he was appointed Scunthorpe manager and guided the Iron to a 22nd place finish last season.
