After two abandoned games in the space of four days, the Iron are looking to make it
back to back victories after being awarded the three points after a crazy match at the Attis Arena.
Before then play was stopped, Wealdstone took the lead in the sixth minute through Boldewijn,
before the Iron struck twice in eight minutes just past the half hour mark; first an elite
volley goal from Alfie Beestin then Danny Whitehall nodding in from close range on the
39th minute, what turned out to be the winner.
Forest Green Rovers pose a strong threat to Scunthorpe, currently sitting top of the table on 20
points, the only other team with United that are still unbeaten at this stage of the season.
Manager, Robbie Savage, impressed at Macclesfield last season and has had a real bright start
to life at Forest Green, and his side have won all four home victories, a record Andy Butler will
want to damage this weekend.
Attacking duo, Tom Knowles and Kairo Mitchell have both shown their importance to their side
at this early stage of the season grabbing important goals. Mitchell, striker, has three goals and
one assist and grabbed the winner last time out for his side against Hartlepool. Tom Knowles
has been a danger man for Rovers this season attacking down the left flank netting three goals
and assisting twice. With the Iron yet to keep a clean sheet, the task of keeping the array of
attackers the hosts hold will be a difficult challenge to uphold.
With both unbeaten sides going into the clash in positive form, this fixture is set to be a tight
contest as United visit the most in-form side in the league with a home advantage.
