Squad by numbers - fill in as appropriate

[AllanW]

Is there any reason this couldn't have gone on the transfers thread or the squad by numbers one?

No problem. Your job to do this. Understood. I'd have put it on the transfer thread myself to start with if I'd thought about it. Apologies.

But why did you decide to hide it away on the thread furthest away from the issues I discussed, please? Just wondering. Thanks.

I thought it was interesting that the numbers used against Minnesota were fairly accurate (especially Mings in 40 and Hause in 30) so perhaps we have a good idea of the numbers that the new boys have taken. Based on last night they will be wearing:
Konsa - 29
Targett - 18
Wesley - 15
Jota - 23
Guilbert - 24
El Ghazi - 21(moved from 22).
Obviously this may not be accurate and I have absolutely no evidence to support my argument but I just find it interesting that most players were issued their 'proper' numbers, as opposed to last pre-season where I think Adomah or Davis wore 11 for one game and a few youth players wore lower numbers (if my memory serves me correctly).

I'm going to find it really annoying if we don't issue number 2 to a Right Back, 9 to a Centre Forward etc.

But then I'm a grumpy old man.

[JJ-AV]

Where are they then?

[BT warrior]

When are the squad numbers being announced? Unless I've missed them.

[Edvard Remberg]

Game tomorrow and yet to see official numbers - a bit strange?

[JJ-AV]

They're out. Someone just whatsapped them across to me. Heaton 1, Wes 9.

2 and 4 left vacant.

Marvelous 11.

I like that Wesley is number 9. Did Cropley and Bremner both wear seven or have I made that up?

[Edvard Remberg]

I think marvelous 18 - including the bench

Team meeting
"Right, who wants the 2, that's up for grabs?"
Guilbert, "I'll have it"
"Okay, sorted, right back, makes sense. Neil, 3, yeah?"
Taylor nods.
"Number 4, any takers?"
Guilbert looks round. "Go on, I'll have that too"
*sighs* "Okay, from now onwards, it's one each, understood?"

That's exactly what happened.

[Mister E]

4 goalkeeper in a squad of 26?

[JJ-AV]

Marvelous, Fred and Mings are big culprits here

Guilbert 2, Mings 4, Trez 11 would have made much more sense

Alex was 10 wasn’t he?

[Kimaster1976]

I bet Callum O'Hare is buzzing with his number.
