Match Preview

A mixture of reserve and trialist came from two goals down to beat Bridgford 3-2 on Monday night, on Thursday the first team will be expected to come back to face a tough Coalville side.

Ex-yellows manager Tommy Brookbanks is still in charge of the Ravens, and I am sure he will still get a warm welcome at Watnall Road like he does on every occasion he returns to Watnall Road. Coalville didn't have the best of seasons in the Northern Premier League last season finishing 17th from 24, winning 15 times and finishing 9 points clear of relegated Corby Town. But this will still be a tough test for the yellows and for many players this will the first match of pre-season to stake a claim to a starting position when the season starts in August.
