All games are important in League One. Getting three points off Rochdale on Tuesday was necessary to maintain our momentum. However, tomorrow's third versus fourth clash at Scunthorpe United is particularly important as we need to beat the teams who are likely to be also contesting for promotion places.
Scunthorpe midfielder Funso Ojo somewhat mystifyingly claims to know Charlton from Belgium: 'They’re a big club and I already knew them from Belgium because they have a Belgian owner. As we are playing at home, I don’t think they will let us play because most teams know that if they let us on the ball, we can do great things. We need to find a way around that though.'
Keeper Matt Gilks says: 'Charlton are a great team, they’ve got a good squad and are very capable of getting promoted themselves. We’re not fearing them, but we will pay them respect. Hopefully, we come out on top and get another three points.'
At home in League One the Iron have won four matches, drawn three and lost two. They have won more matches (six) away from home.
Whenever I go on a farm visit in Lincolnshire, I seem to run up against keen Iron supporters who are well represented in the more prosperous parts of the local farming community.
Our last two league matches at Scunthorpe ended in draws: 0-0 and 1-1.
Odds are: Scunthorpe 11/8, Draw 11/5, Charlton 19/10.
