Unbeaten pre-season build-up is put to the test

The Bantams will be oozing with confidence after scoring THIRTEEN goals against Harrogate Town and Farsley Celtic in their last two matches.
Darlington are bound to be much harder to break down but don't expect that to trouble Dean Windass.
The striker, who almost signed for the Quakers during the close season before deciding to stay at Valley Parade, has certainly struck a rich vein of form in front of goal.
Last Saturday, he bagged five of the eight goals that comprehensively dumped Farsley Celtic.
Todd may well experiment with his squad again for the match at the New Stadium.
A number of trialists including Michael Symes, Lee Crooks and Steve Schumacher could once again be handed another opportunity to prove their worth.
Meanwhile, defender Darren Holloway could also play for City after leaving Milton Keynes Dons.
