Striker Jordan Robertson says Scunthorpe United face a defining month in their fight for survival.

After Saturday's trip to Colchester United, the Iron have games with both Sheffield clubs on the horizon, as well as clashes at the other end of the table with Walsall, Yeovil and Rochdale.

Although United have now climbed out of the relegation zone, Robertson has warned this is no time for complacency.

"We had some poor results leading up to Christmas, which was tough," he said.

"But we've shown we've got that fight and mental strength that can see us through to the end of the season.

"It's the second half of the season now, we've had that win (at Hartlepool), we've got to look forwards rather than backwards.

"It is tight at the bottom of the table.

"There's going to be some hard games coming up between now and the end of the season.

"The next four or six weeks in particular will be really hard and may determine our season.

"We know Colchester will be a tough game for us, as will every game now.

"We've got to work hard, like we did at Hartlepool, and hopefully get a few more wins."
