AFC Telford are preparing for their first FA Cup first round qualifier in more than a decade, as they welcome Coalville Town to the New Bucks Head.
Steffan Jones could continue his run in the Bucks side in the FA Cup clash
Opponents Coalville sit 10th in the Southern Central Premier, a place above Bucks. They have won three and lost three so far, with a remarkable 31 goals being scored in their first half a dozen games – 15 for and 16 against. Wilkin believes Coalville’s run of strong league finishes makes them a difficult prospect for a side like his who are still finding their feet at a new level.
Coalville finished second in the league last season, missing out on top spot on goal difference to Tamworth, before losing in the play-offs to Rushall Olympic. Wilkin was keen to explain his ambitions to integrate youth into his first-team squad, and with several key players an injury risk ahead of the weekend some could get a look in.
