Published Date:

MANSFIELD Town fans are eagerly awaiting tomorrow's opening first team friendly to see which trialists new manager Billy McEwan will select.
The team playing at Hucknall will feature a mixture of first team players, reserves and trialists.
But with the Stags still having just 10 first team squad members, the expected 16-strong squad is sure to feature many new faces.
Manager McEwan said earlier in the week that he wanted to see some of the trialists in match action before making a decision on their futures.
New signings Mark Stallard, Adie Moses, Jon D'Laryea and Michael Blackwood are certain to play some part.
A lot of the interest will centre on the goalkeeping position, with speculation mounting that a new keeper is expected to be signed as competition for Jason White.
It is also thought that McEwan is hoping to make more signings next week ahead of the two home friendlies against Derby County and Sheffield United.
Hucknall are likely to name ex-Stags Danny Bacon and Danny Sleath tomorrow. Admission at Hucknall is £6 adults, £4 OAPs, £2 7-16 years, under 7s free.
