A WORD FROM BOTH CAMPS:
Graham Alexander, Scunthorpe United Manager: “They’re a good footballing team. They’ve got their way of playing, which they’ve had for a few years now and it’s brought them success – they have good footballers within their ranks.
“We know if you let them play they can make it a very difficult day for you, and even if you get after them they’ve got good footballers who can handle it.”
"It doesn't get any easier but we've been coupon busters in the past and we've got results when nobody thought we would.Luke Williams, Swindon Town Head Coach:
"We will go there fully determined to come away with at least something and we want to come back with all the points, but we will try to give a very good account of ourselves and be difficult to play against.
