I would say it is almost definitely Sokolik as he's right-footed and Edjenguélé left-footed and as Barrett's starting it makes most sense to pair him with a right footer.
 
I'd say there's a bit of gamesmanship from Brown here - it looks like the starting XI is far from being our strongest team - leaving on the bench Demetriou, McLaughlin and Cox.... (and Mooney)

I can see us being at least a couple of goals down at half-time, but we should have strong attacking players to bring on when perhaps Toon bring on some of their second-string defenders.
 
Both trialist defenders will get at least 45 minutes. Nice to see that Wabo makes the bench. He's a good striker now, but could be very good in 2 or 3 years.
 
Club have just tweeted that the ticket office is extremely busy, please be patient.
They don't normally do that, so i'm guessing it's pretty bad and a fair few will miss the kick off.
