I just tried to predict the starting 11 and subs, quite hard! I gave up. Wish you hadn't said that, paz. It made me try it, too. Nope, can't get anywhere with it. It's exciting, tho'! An Intriguing season lays ahead

Weather not playing ball which will knock a fair few off the attendance. Possible thunderstorms! Rose Kizzi Goodliffe Sowunmi Milsom Coley Clay Eastmond Patrick Smith Angol My guess at line up. Banking on Goodliffe being fit! If he’s not and Jackson also not available it’ll be a very makeshift start. Not sure what Matt’s thinking re. front 2, Smith and 1 other seems likely. I think we’re very much 2nd favourites on this one, ideally we’d have another couple of weeks to bed in signings and get our defence fit. Anything we get here is welcome. I thought that he may start with Kizzi Centre back and share the 90 mins between Goodliffe and Omar, with Jackson on the right. Hard to tell if Matt has just been ultra-cautious to avoid injuries or if we are currently a bit depleted. Part of me thinks we may struggle tomorrow, the other half thinks we may see a full team who will do the biz when it counts.

The one I put on Fanhub is almost identical. Let's hope we get a few pleasant surprise starters tomorrow 🤞

I'm sure Matt will want to start with Goodliffe if he's fit. If he's not, but Jackson is, I can see the latter starting at RB and Kizzi moving back into the centre. If neither is available, we're in trouble!
I think Matt would prefer to start with a CM of Eastmond and Beautyman, as he did last Saturday. Clay is a more defensive midfielder than Harry, and could be brought on if we have a lead to defend late in the game.
I'd like to see Smith and Angol together up front, but I suspect that Matt will start with Kashket.

Clay has just won the division with Orient, making 31 appearances, I'd be surprised if he is not considered to be a starter.

Angol is yet to win me over and i don't see him starting. Clay will partner Craig in midfield i'd guess.

On the clubs twitter site it states the fan zone and bars open at 1pm but on the match preview on the website it suggests the fan zone opens at midday. Does anyone know which is correct? Don't want to get there at 12 and find I have to wait an hour for refreshment .

Everyone loves prematch predictions, so I will try and keep this up for the season (we know I will likely give it up at some point)! I've gone for Sutton United 2 v 1 Notts County Fill in the form & I'll keep track over the season (till we get bored) vist.ly/7cei

Notts fan here!
Can't wait for tomorrow. Last season was intense for us and now we start all over again in the EFL.
Lots of vloggers are suggesting we will win the league but Notts fans are more cautious and most are hoping for a top half finish.
Not sure what team we will play but it will be attacking and we will look to dominate the ball, we averaged over 70% possession last season.
We can be vulnerable on the break as we play a high line and our defence isn't the fastest.
I don't think Randall will play, he's had some niggles preseason so at best I think he will be on the bench.
What's your pitch like for drainage? Bit worried about all the rain, fingers crossed the game goes ahead.

Bit worried about all the rain, fingers crossed the game goes ahead. As you may have picked up, we are very unsure about what to expect from us. While we are very pleased with recruitments its very hard to predicts how they will fair. Matt should look for us to be very solid and organised that's the only thing I can predict, though whether we will be or not is another question As for the rain, I think its going to hit us at some point but I hear the winds look lively too, so hopefully it will be more periodic and should not cause a water log. We do have a pitch cover so perhaps they will leave that on late just in case.

Randall Injured? Good luck with him. ‘Caveat Emptor’

Last night, I listened to the latest interview with Matt on the Sutton Podcast. He spoke so very well. I’m now more optimistic than ever, about this season.
