Nathan Baker at number 2 instead of Lowton?And numbers 35-42 give a big clue as to who is on the way out/not in Lambert's plans!
So Stan's number has been retired. Nice touch.
34 is Lowton's Favourite speacial numberAlso Mods I apologise I also have created a thread
Anyone else get the feeling that the players numbered 35+ may be down there for a reason?
No Siegriest, Burke, Grealish, or Donacien in the squad officially then.
