The Iron will face Rochdale at Glanford Park this Saturday in Sky Bet League One (kick-off 3pm).
Last weekend, we lost 2-1 to Shrewsbury at home. Josh Morris put United ahead inside the opening eight minutes, however two second-half goals from Salop gave them the full three points.
Meanwhile, Rochdale last played on Tuesday night, losing 2-0 at home to Fleetwood. Ex-Iron Paddy Madden scored past Dale in that game, as they sit in 23rd position.
TEAM NEWS…
Right-back Marnick Vermijl (hamstring) has taken part in a couple of training sessions this week, as he steps up his recovery. Jordan Clarke, who has also been out with a hamstring injury, came on as a substitute in the game against Shrewsbury. He also received more game time in a behind-closed-doors game in midweek.
Striker Lee Novak (heel) will remain out. Luke Williams (scar tissue injury) is scheduled to return to training on Monday.
