Football League Weekly: Josh Morris was injured and out of the goals last season but his dozen this term are keeping Scunthorpe top of League OneWhen Graham Alexander took control at Scunthorpe United nine games from the end of last season one eye was already trained on how to improve a stagnant team during the summer.
