Preview: Scunthorpe United
Richard Joyce
Cheltenham Town will be aiming to continue their position in the top three of League Two with another positive performance against Scunthorpe United this evening (kick-off: 6pm).
Saturday's victory at Southend United has put Michael Duff's team into the top three of the division.
Though it's only early days the good start to the campaign has created a huge amount of confidence and belief around the squad as they get set to host a Scunthorpe United side who are eager to pick up a positive result while currently sitting towards the lower end of the table.
Tonight's match is taking place behind closed doors because of the impact of covid-19.
Therefore the best way to watch the action is to purchase a match pass and to watch it all online with iFollow.
Tom Sang could return after an ankle problem, while Finn Azaz may be in contention too.
New addition Ellis Chapman is still getting match fit but is available if needed for the matchday squad.
Callum Ebanks is unavailable as he continues his return from a knee injury.
Check out Michael Duff's pre-match press conference as he looks ahead to the game.
The Irons have picked up four points from six games so far in League Two. Their last three outings in the division have ended in defeats - conceding 11 goals in those three matches.
They've picked up points in a draw with Newport County AFC and a 1-0 home win against Carlisle United.
Neil Cox is now in charge, returning to the club where he started his career, and his squad features former Hull City youngster Rory Watson in goal plus a defence that includes former Cheltenham loanee Manny Onariase and youngster Tyler Cordner, who is on loan from AFC Bournemouth.
They have recently added the experienced Junior Brown to their ranks, however he's unlikely to be involved due to a lack of match fitness this evening.
In midfield Jake Taylor, who spent last season on loan at Port Vale, is a new face in their squad this month having made a temporary move from parent club Nottingham Forest. Alex Gilliead and Scotsman Lewis Spence are also possible players to feature, while Frank Vincent is another Bournemouth loanee who may be involved.
In attack former Shrewsbury Town man John McAtee will provide a threat going forward with Ryan Loft also an option having arrived from Leicester City in the summer.
Abo Eisa, brother of former Robins forward Mo, offers a lively threat and 22-year-old Aaron Jarvis is another Cox could turn to in search of goals. Kelsey Mooney, the former Robins loanee, won't be involved as he's returned on loan to Hereford.
The manager: Neil Cox
Neil Cox was appointed manager of Scunthorpe in August 2020. His appointment saw him take on the role of managing his hometown club where he also started his playing career - a career that saw him play for the likes of Aston Villa, Middlesbrough and Watford.
In terms of his time in the dugout, he began his managerial career in non-league football at Leek Town in 2010. Two years later he joined AFC Wimbledon as assistant manager to Neal Ardley, spending six years in London before he followed Ardley to Notts County as his number two once again.
When the Scunthorpe job became available in the summer he returned to being a first team manager as he looks to guide his hometown club to success in the fourth tier.
He started his playing days with Scunny and was sold to Aston Villa for £400,000 before embarking on a successful career that saw the defender also play for Bolton Wanderers and Cardiff City, as well as for the England under-21s side.
One to watch: Ryan Loft
Essex born Ryan Loft has already found the back of the net twice for Scunthorpe this season since joining the Irons on a permanent deal from Leicester City.
The 23-year-old spent time on loan at Carlisle United in League Two last season, playing 35 times for the Cumbrians and scoring six times.
He began his carer at Tottenham Hotspur where he was sent out on loan to Braintree Town, Stevenage and Exeter City to gain playing time.
Upon his release by Spurs he joined Leicester City where he represented their under-21s side in the EFL Trophy. He didn't make any first team appearances for the Foxes and after being officially let go linked up with Scunthorpe for the new campaign.

It's Official! Trump Just Signed Monumental Agreement With Kim Jong-Un – Here's What NK Will Do Now
Terresa Monroe-Hamilton
History was made yesterday in Singapore as President Trump met with Dictator Kim Jong-Un of North Korea for a peace summit. It's a historic first. Trump told Sean Hannity that he really believes that Kim will now begin to work towards dismantling his country's nuclear program "virtually immediately." In response, President Trump has halted joint military exercises with the South Koreans, for now at least. They are seen as provocative by the North Koreans. Our troops will remain in South Korea as this moves forward. A comprehensive document was signed by the two leaders stating Pyongyang would work toward "complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula " and that the U.S. would provide "security guarantees" to Pyongyang.
"We are going to leave the past behind. The world will see major change," Kim Jong-Un said signing the document. Those are just words, but we all pray that they are the truth this time. Trump also says he will have Kim to the White House and that they will meet many more times over all of this.
In Hannity's interview with the President, Trump said the process is "really moving rapidly." "I just think that we are now we are going to start the process of denuclearization of North Korea, and I believe that he's going back and will start it virtually immediately – and he's already indicated that and you look at what he's done," Trump stated. All of this happened after several meetings yesterday in Singapore. CNN's Jim Acosta asked Trump if Kim agreed to denuclearize and he said, "We are starting that process very quickly." Kim agreed to destroy a "major" missile testing site, but did not offer specific details.
Watch the latest video at foxnews.com
"President Trump and Chairman Kim Jong-Un conducted a comprehensive, in-depth, and sincere exchange of opinions on the issues related to the establishment of new U.S.–DPRK relations and the building of a lasting and robust peace regime on the Korean Peninsula," read the joint statement that both leaders signed. "President Trump committed to provide security guarantees to the DPRK, and Chairman Kim Jong-Un reaffirmed his firm and unwavering commitment to complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula."

— Fox News (@FoxNews) June 12, 2018
The following four points are key in the agreement:
1. The United States and the DPRK commit to establish new U.S.–DPRK relations in accordance with the desire of the peoples of the two countries for peace and prosperity.
2. The United States and the DPRK will join their efforts to build a lasting and stable peace regime on the Korean Peninsula.
3. Reaffirming the April 27, 2018 Panmunjom Declaration, the DPRK commits to work toward complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
4. The United States and the DPRK commit to recovering POW/MIA remains, including the immediate repatriation of those already identified.
The document also said that both leaders "commit to implement the stipulations in this joint statement fully and expeditiously," adding that Trump and Kim are "committed to cooperate for the development of new U.S.–DPRK relations and for the promotion of peace, prosperity, and security of the Korean Peninsula and of the world."
.@POTUS: "I think both sides are going to be very impressed with the results."

There are still no guarantees that Kim will follow through on his promises. He has broken them in the past. Everything depends on the relationship between Kim and Trump, but if any President can pull this off, it is President Trump. He sounded very optimistic as he left the summit and evidently the two of them "got along from the beginning." Trump made it crystal clear that Kim must totally dismantle his nuclear program. "His country has to be de-nuked and he understood that, he fully understood that, he didn't fight it," Trump said.
The summit was a minor miracle in itself. At one point, it was called off and then suddenly rescheduled. Despite heated rhetoric from both sides, Kim and Trump found a way to finally sit down together and start the negotiation process. No word if the Korean war will now be declared officially over, but we'll see. And I think it is a reach to talk of reunification between the North and South, but at this point, anything could happen. Trump told Fox News that "without the rhetoric we wouldn't have been here." "So I think the rhetoric, I hated to do it, sometimes I felt foolish doing it, but we had no choice," he said.
When asked what comes next, Trump insisted, "I think he's gone back to get this done. He wants to get it done." Let's hope so for the sake of global peace. During a meeting with the press on Air Force One, Trump said he trusts Kim, but the U.S. would have to "check" to ensure denuclearization occurs. I hope he also checks to make sure that the North Koreans don't just move their weapons over the border to China. "We're going to have to check him. And we will check him, we'll check him very strongly. But he has a plan total and complete," Trump said. "He's got a total plan. It will get done." Verifying that the country is totally free of nuclear, biological and chemical weapons will be very tricky. It always is.
When asked whether he had any concerns about Kim, the President insisted Kim "wants to get it done." He added: "And we should all want that to happen." Yes, we should… "Trust, but verify," as Ronald Reagan famously said.

Getting your ideas out there is all about making an impact.
Whether it is a major marketing campaign or a leaflet for a local charity making an impact needs good design. Bizelix can help you by providing design expertise at whatever stage you require it, and at a level that fits your budget.
Every project, whether a leaflet, poster, brochure, report, book or web site usually involves similar elements that require design input. Each will require an overall concept, a colour scheme, a strong layout, graphical elements such as logos and images and usually some text.
We can help you form an overall concept for your project based firmly on your ideas. We offer a range of services, from short discussions to full workshops. Whatever your budget, we can create a strong concept that will support all your other design requirements.
We can design imaginative graphical elements for your project such as logos starting with whatever ideas you might already have. If you have sketches or photographs that form the basis of an idea, we can turn these into digital line art and incorporate them into your design. We can also help with photography if you need images with impact.
The presentation of data, especially in marketing materials or those designed to attract investment, is an area where design can have a huge impact on results. We can help you represent your data in creative and imaginative diagrams, charts and graphs to ensure your message is readily understood.
Even the simplest invitation, leaflet, poster or CV needs a strong layout if it is to succeed in grabbing the attention of your intended audience. If you are self-publishing a series of books you need a consistent layout for cover and inside pages that will instantly make your book recognisable and make it stand out on the crowded bookshelf. The success of presentations and brochures for business depends on clear but interesting layout design. We can design presentation concepts and layouts for you to create your own presentations or we can design the entire presentation for you along with all supporting materials.
The layout for a web site is crucial to its impact and success and is a significant part of the work to create your site. If we have helped you define your blueprint and overall image, we can use this to produce a creative web site design. Alternatively, if you already have a strong concept for your web site, we can use this to design the HTML and style sheet, turning your ideas into a reality.
Achieving effective presentation and packaging for your products and your overall brand begins with a sound understanding of your target markets. Once we have defined your blueprint, we can use it to feed directly into the design of high impact packaging and presentation materials and a strong brand image. Developments in your business strategy and product development should be fed back through your blueprint ensuring that your branding and packaging stay focused, retain impact and consistency and achieve their goal of effective product promotion. Promotion of your products online requires an imaginative approach using all the audio-visual possibilities to create unusual and effective presentations, which keep your potential customer interested and converts web page visits into online purchases.
Presenting you or your business is just as important, which means high quality materials such as CVs, business cards, letterheads, compliment slips and other stationery. We can design these for you based on your full blueprint from the workshops or just on a short conversation, again depending on your budget. We can even design novel ways of presenting you or your business, for example by using rich media instead of paper, which may have more impact for your particular ideas.
Our involvement doesn't stop with design. If you wish we can also help you with the production of all your marketing materials.

Al Rutz stands in the work yard of Koppers where stacks of timber all around him stretch skyward.
It's here, on sprawling acres of ground just off Route 405 in Clinton Township, where the work of sorting, grading and manufacturing railroad ties takes place.
"As a company, we are the largest producer of railroad ties in the U.S.," said Rutz, plant manager of the local facility.
The Lycoming County plant is one of a number of Koppers facilities, which employ more than 2,100 people in North America, South America, Australia, China, and Europe.
With headquarters in Pittsburgh, the company operates three divisions.
The performance chemicals division focuses on wood preservation and wood treatment. The company's carbon material and chemicals division distills tar into a variety of products.
The local plant, part of the railroad and utility products and services division, supplies railroad crossties in North America to Class 1 and shortline railroads and supplies and services other products including utility poles and rail joint bars.
"We are transitioning right now from a chemical to more of a wood preservation company," he said.
The chemical side, he noted, can be cyclical, especially with the swing in oil prices.
Rutz said Lycoming County, with its strategic location near large markets and access to major highways, is a good location for the railroad tie division.
The plant, he said, does a lot of business with major transit systems of metropolitan areas of the Northeast.
Trucks transport most of the wood brought to the plant for the railroad tie operation.
"We cut them to a specific length," he said. "We grade them and sort them to customer specifications," he said.
Anywhere from 22,000 to 25,000 pieces of wood are waiting to be cut at any one time.
Business has been pretty steady over the past year.
"I don't see us growing a whole lot in the next few years," Rutz said, while adding there are some signs of an uptick in business.
The plant employs about 50 people and operates three shifts.
Most of the workforce is comprised of local residents, many of whom tend to stay on with the company for many years.
Much of the training of employees is done in house.
Rutz noted that safety of employees is a priority.
He said Koppers has undertaken a zero harm culture initiative, which places the well-being of employees, protection of the environment and strength of communities number one.
The company is a member of the American Chemistry Council and "dedicated to adopting its Responsible Care initiative" at its locations worldwide.
