I guess it was Scunthorpe’s choice to play the kids. They’ve had a wretched campaign (we scored more points in our dire 2000-01 season) and I can understand how playing the first team who have barely fared well against anyone would have been seen as a reward for an awful season. If you have nothing to play for, why not put some kids out? We did against Doncaster.
But you do wonder about what goings on we’re in place to manufacture such a result …probably nothing as it was the Scunthorpe academy v a mens XI but still …
You can’t play the kids in a promotion decider though, as bad as they were this season they didn’t lose 7-0 to anyone.
