LET’S BE POSITIVE – GRAHAM

HIS side’s automatic promotion hopes may look dead in the water, but Scunthorpe manager Graham Alexander insists his team cannot feel like ‘life is over’.

The Iron were League One pacesetters for much of the first half of the season but now find themselves battling to finish in the play-off slots.

“It is still in our hands to be part of the promotion shake-up,” he said.

“Our destiny has been in our hands since day one, and it is still in our hands to have a successful season. I don’t want everyone to paint everything as black and death, thinking life is over.”
