I think we’re well prepared and capable of giving a good account of ourselves. I haven’t a clue about Maidstone and what they have to offer.

Newly promoted, will be keen. However, from what I’ve seen I think that we will have too much for them so,

Alty 3-1 Maidstone

Alty start the new season with a win,

I think it'll be a drab affair.

0-0 or a 1-0 win.

Funnily enough I've always been a grumpy bugger when it comes to matchday predictions.

I'm normally closer than most!

                             Byrne

Roxborough   Mullarekey    Jones     Baines

                 Osbourne      Lundstram

       Colclough    Samizadeh   Hussain

                            Hulme

Guess Baines can play LB, hoping Lundstram is fit and Hulme just about gets the nod over Dinanga.

An interesting selection, but no more likely than the way that I would set up :

                                      Byrne

  Jones.             Mullarkey.              Cooper.            Baines

           Conn-Clarke.     Lundstram.     Osborne.   Colclough

                                       Hulme

                                       Dinanga


What PP has in mind is anybody's guess.

It's great to have several viable options isn't it?
I wouldn't be surprised this season, with the greater amount of time to work with the squad, if different line ups were used to counteract opposition challenges. We've previously never previously had that luxury.

A good game to start this, a proper traditional non league ‘name’ who should bring a few and a club we haven’t played for donkeys since they reformed.

It will be intriguing to watch a new look and fairly young side take to the field for us. Over the course of the season I have no doubts, but they may need some time to gel. Other than Colclough and Osborne I wouldn’t like to call most of the midfield/attacking slots so will be very intriguing to see who Parky goes with.

Last season our strength was putting away those sides in the bottom third of the league at home. Maidstone though had the best defence in the Conference South last season and have kept a lot of their promotion squad together so will be a challenge. Overall though if we are to enjoy another season of progress and well clear from the bottom 4 then this is the kind of game we need to win and I expect us too albeit a tight affair. I’ll go 2-1 Alty in front of 1,845 with 123 away fans.

Is Barrows definitely out? On the assumption that he is, I expect:

Byrne

Jones, Mullarkey, Baines, Brockbank

Lundstram

Osborne, Conn-Clarke

Pringle, Hulme, Colclough

---------

If it was me, I would start Dinanga, but you can't 'drop' your captain on the opening day. I just think half the battle with strikers is mental and I would reward him for the two goals last weekend.
