This season Matt and Pete are going to try and reproduce the entertaining Dudley Kingswinford (with blatant plagiarism - we hope they don’t mind being in M1W) Preview and Review of each weekend’s M2EN fixtures.

So week 1 Preview

We agree on all matches other than the Southwell v Ashbourne game

No form to go on yet other than pre-season

Loughborough v Long Eaton
Pete - an away win here after Long Eaton beat Coalville at Coalville last week
Matt – an away win with Long Eaton and their Notts Academy links proving too fast and skilful for the forward orientated Loughborough, unless Loughborough can drag them into a dogfight.

Southwell v Ashbourne
Pete – Away win in a tight game
Matt – Home win. A tough call but surely improvements will have been made from Southwell from last season

Market Rasen v Lincoln
A local Derby with Market Rasen having something to prove after their relegation last season
Pete – Home win in a tight game
Matt – Home win with home advantage and form deciding a close encounter

Matlock v Ilkeston
Pete – Home win
Matt – Home win as Matlock look to build on a strong season from last year

Newark v Ashby
A tough start for Ashby fresh from their promotion
Pete – Home win
Matt – Home win

We are not allowed to predict on our own fixture
