Match Preview
Sullivan to back-stop Glovers
Yeovil boss Terry Skiverton will hope his new-look squad can deliver a winning start against Leyton Orient on Saturday.
Skiverton has been busy in the transfer market over the summer, recruiting 10 new faces as his team look to stay clear of the League One drop zone.
Goalkeeper John Sullivan, brought in on loan from Millwall, is likely to start with only veteran keeper-coach Ben Roberts on the Glovers' books as competition.
Winger Cameron Stewart could be handed a start after impressing in pre-season, while Stefan Stam, Paul Huntington and Luke Ayling will battle for starts in defence.
Skiverton believes his players have gelled ahead of the new campaign, telling the BBC: "We've got away, we've bonded and I've got a good group of players together.
"It's just about instilling in them that belief. We want to go on runs of wins this year."
Sunderland youngster Michael Liddle will be one of a host of debutants in the Orient line-up.
Liddle was this week drafted in on loan as cover for Charlie Daniels, who is out for a couple of weeks with a knee injury, and is set to go straight in at left-back.
Midfielder Adam Chambers is the only other injury concern after taking a whack to the head in training on Tuesday but he is expected to be fine.
French striker Jonathan Tehoue missed much of pre-season with a hamstring injury but he is fit again.
Midfielder Stephen Dawson, the summer signing from Bury, will wear the captain's armband while Alex Revell, Terrell Forbes, Aaron Brown, Elliot Omozusi, Dean Cox and Matthew Spring will also be among the new faces on show.

Match Report
Glovers start with a victory First-half goals from Dean Bowditch and Luke Freeman gave Yeovil a 2-1 victory over Leyton Orient. The Glovers had the better earlier chances with debutants Adam Virgo and Freeman both going just wide in the first seven minutes. But on 12 minutes they took the lead when a long clearance from Paul Huntington was picked up by Bowditch and he cut in from the right before firing a great shot off the far post. The O's, managed by former Yeovil boss Russell Slade, battled back and were always dangerous on the break, so it was no surprise when they equalised after 41 minutes. Stephen Dawson and Dean Cox did well down the left and a pinpoint cross from the latter was headed in at close range by Alex Revell. But in first-half stoppage time Yeovil regained the lead as Orient keeper Jamie Jones fumbled a tame right-wing cross by Andy Williams and Freeman scrambled in. The second-half again saw chances at both ends with Orient out of luck when Terrell Forbes, making his debut after several seasons at Yeovil, rattled the home post with a terrific header.
