Looking forward to getting the season going. Assuming only Poole and Densmore are unavailable I reckon this will be the starting 11.

                         Thompson

White    Goulding   Hannigan   Hampson

                Moult       Williams

   Johnson    Hancock    Daniels

                       Hulme

I'd go with Bannister for White....PP will go for White

I'd go with Richman for Williams...PP will go for Max

I'd go with Tom Peers and Hancock on left ...I think PP will go with yours.....

Loadsa options....

Don't want to speculate on potential starting line up on Saturday, I'm sure Phil and Neil know already what that
is and based on last season I have every confidence in their selection.

I forget: how many subs can we have on the bench in Conf North?

5, we can use 3.

So pleasing to have squad depth these days - whoever plays at the back, and alongside Moult, I'd be quite happy with. How come Peers was missing on Saturday, by the way?

The only thing I will say, however - Brendan is left-footed isn't he? The traditionalist inside me is dying, however I'd swap him and JJ over, and encourage them to cut in and get as many shots away as possible. We could see from Saturday that Brendan's got a firm shot on him, and I'm sure Jordan will be on any follow-ups like a shot (like Saturday). I think we'd have more joy this way than aiming for the byline.

We’ve had a good pre-season and I’m looking forward to coming up for this one.

Lem widely expected to be amongst the bottom markers so important we set off with a win, bearing in mind the two tough aways which follow this one. I think we should ease past them 2-0 with around 900 with no MCFC or MUFC to compete with this Saturday.

Peers was named against Trafford, but took no part. I'm assuming he tweaked something before kick off there ?

Believe it was his quad. Felt tight in the warm up.

I haven't seen any friendlies but hearing good things about Bannister so maybe start him over White who did struggle at RB last season and became OK at LB, but in my opinion he would never be in front of Hampson.

I hope we can keep players happy. The strength in the squad is really good. We still have Dens and Poole to come back.

I would go for Harrop and Williams for this game. In away games when we know they have a mobile mid I would go with Richman, Williams and Harrop. Moult wins a load of headers but struggles against quicker players.

Not seen Downing play but if PP is going for firepower then maybe he should have kept Miller but I trust his decision making and I feel we have more of a plan B with this squad.

I'll eat my hat if it's anything different.

We need to score at least twice, since a goal for Anthony Dwyer is an absolute certainty !

[Matt Taylor]

Carrying forward momentum from last season is going to be important if we want to end up with a respectable league finish this season, and so we need to start the season well.

Never any certainties in football, but Leamington at home is a dream opener. I’ll be surprised if Leamington are much better than any of the garbage the same group of players were easily swatting aside last season in the NPL. And so we should be able to knock a few past them and build a bit of confidence to take to Southport for the first real test.

[Sale Holmfield]

I wouldn't quite put it in the way Matt does, but, even though Anthony Dwyer is bound to score, this is an extremely winnable match to start off with, regardless of the players selected (hopefully, Bannister being one of them, although I somehow doubt he will be).

There will be tougher games to come, but this does give an excellent chance to get some early points, aided by the ongoing momentum from last season.
