Wanderers are once again on their travels this evening when they visit Scunthorpe United where they will be searching for a fourth successive victory in all competitions.
Pre-Match Quotes:
Ian Evatt: “Scunthorpe have some good players. I know Neil Cox well and it should be a competitive game with both teams hitting a bit of form. Hopefully we’ll go there and get the result. We’re not getting carried away. We’re just focused on the next game and focused on winning at Scunthorpe. If we do that the rest will take care of itself. We’ve got to go there and be hard to beat first and foremost again and then hopefully our quality and technique will take over and we can win the game.”
Neil Cox: "I’m over the moon with seven points in the space of a week. The boys had a right good go. They were tired but they stuck in there and to be unbeaten in three is brilliant. Kev (van Veen) started the game but came off with not a hamstring, but more of a nerve situation. The new substitutes rule gave us the option to change it quickly and not risk him. So, we’ll see how he is. We’ve got a lot of tired bodies and we’ve got to wrap them up and see who is raring to go on Tuesday night."
