    Is anyone on here going? Will there be any kind of coverage - even minute by minute text? Launch of away shirt? Trialist speculation?

    T&A will have their usual match blog.
    Away shirt is being launched next week.

    Only team news we know for the match is Baldwin will miss this one with a minor injury but should hopefully be back next week, everyone else is available to play.

    Hopefully we can start the season with 3 points, it’s certainly a must not lose.

    Win at home
    Draw away.

    A point would be a good start.

    First half team.
    Walker, Pennington, Lunn, Gillesphey, Ibbitson, Powell, Trialist, T Wright, Pointon, Sarcevic, Jackson.

    Look like this means Ibbitson will play RWB and Powell as a CM, presume especially with Ibbitson this is just to give players minutes rather than necessarily looking at him as a RWB option.

    Out of those I would say Jackson RWB and Ibbitson CF.

    If you are going to play an untested kid in pre season to see what he can do then surely play him in his natural position.

    Pleased for Ibbitson. Saw him in a local friendly a few years ago and he was nowhere near, was hoping they'd keep him well away from the first team while giving him time to develop. Think that was the right thing to do.

    Let's see if he's ready to get involved now.

    Could be Pointon at wingback. He's played there before

    Ibbitson is playing RWB, Powell playing middle of front three, Jackson right - Sarcevic bit deeper in centre mid
