Ahead of this weekend’s clash at Gresty Road, Steve told crewealex.net: “Scunthorpe have managed to turn their early form around and have had a decent season.

“Scunthorpe have a team of experienced players with a good mix of younger players in there as well. He has a strong squad to choose from and although the play-offs may be out of reach for them they will be wanting to finish as high as they can.
