Accepting 3 centre backs is a given I would agree with Cass on the starting 11 with Rowley missing out for me.
This assumes Denton is properly match fit.

OK we’ve got a few days to sort it out, Butler doesn’t know his team yet so let’s give him a hand. I’ll go:-
Fitzsimons
Kouogan, Evans, Nicholson
Scales, 2 from (Grogan, Rowley, Clunan), Denton
Roberts, Whitehall, Carlton
Pretty unlikely as AB hasn’t got anywhere near that in pre-season.that would be my starting 11 Cass ..but it is unlikely.
Law for Denton maybe
Roberts may not start, come off the bench when required if AB airs on the side of caution not wishing to loose on opening day..
Off topic … could the season KO be effected by the current unrest in the UK ?? im thinking travel and policing issues .. lets hope not

Regarding the season KO effected by the current unrest in the UK, well hopefully a fair few will be on remand soon and I’m guessing ringleaders not already grabbed will be getting a few dawn raids this week, certainly needs sorting asap.

As fans we are entitled to our opinions my being no as optimistic as it seems many other are , at full time in the Chorley fixture we should have a better idea as to the seasons expectations.
Im predicting getting 7 or 8 points from the 12 up for grabs from those first 4 fixtures (2 home n 2 away)… followed by 2 difficult games v SS and Kiddy to end August on circa with 11-12 points.
A season of stability finishing 7th to 10th is my prediction.

My biggest fear is this division becomes normalised for Scunny, Brackley away wasn’t a tough fixture for 95% of my supporting life. We can pull out the ‘lucky to have a club card’ we’ve (probably) all done our bit to save it as much as we can but long term scrapping for cash and playing these kind of teams is a painful watch

Agree Ironawe. Debts now cleared or not quite cleared a club with almost 2,000 season ticket holders and likely in excess of 4,000 home crowds would expect play off places in the National League never mind NLN.
Not winning automatic promotion would be just as big a disappointment as it was last season. Failure to reach the play offs would be a disaster.
I am massively thankful and very proud of all that helped save our club (including my own small efforts) but the time has come to focus on the journey going forward. A journey that needs to end back in the EFL.
I don’t see this as “entitlement” of a big club at this level just simple economics.

I think we’ll be competitive this season, not least because we should have a team of players who are a bit more used to playing at this level, and we’ll have a manager who’s got an ounce of footballing sense. Not saying we’ll win the league by any means, but I think we can look forward to the ride.
From what I’ve seen in pre-season, I don’t expect promotion.

Supposedly protests, Frod road shops shutting the only people out are the asians massing to defend their cultural centre and their shops, police vans going continuously around the area, saw 2 old granny’s on Brit corner but that’s all.
Think it’s going to be a hoax joke like I said.
Ironstone centre is a big medical centre behind Ashton house (the old Co-op where Santa used to come) IFA.1 user thanked author for this post.
Can we confine this shite to the Non football section? There’s enough disinformation on the internet this week to keep people entertained without it creeping onto a football board

The above posts are about Asians supposedly gathering on Frodingham road. If you can link that to Scunthorpe’s first team then you might want to try the Kevin Bacon movie game.
