Who are the 23?

Remember when we had the contract expiry pinned post -  Any chance we could have a "Current 23 Players" pinned post?  I don't know for sure who counts and who doesn't.

Rooney kept saying that he couldn't use certain youth players as they'd gain professional status, but I thought I read on the forum that the EFL Cup didn't count towards those games?  Did we use anyone new yesterday?

It's important to note (this took me a moment to realise, so thought I'd share the minor brainwork) that we are keeping it to 23 so that when we eventually move players on (Marshall being the most likely it seems), we can then replace them with more free agents - it's not that he literally can't use these youth players.

Should we have and injury or COVID crisis these are the only players we’re able to pick from as replacements  

Harry Evans, Zion Dixon, Reece Nicholas-Davies, Dubum Eze, Nelson Aideyan, Adebayo Fapetu, Kain Ryan, Darren Robinson, Riley Moloney, Callum Moore, Sam Sebagabo, Marko Borkovic, Rhys Brailsford, Eli Christie, Olamide Ibrahim, Cian Kelly Caprani, Harvey Randle, Alfie Roberts, Charlie Rutt, Dylan Williams

Guessing he desperately wants to get shot of Marshall to bring in another forward? (As plan B if umbongo not lifted next week).

A lot of people saying we officially need to have 3 goalkeepers in the 23, so selling Marshall would only free up another goalkeeper slot and not for an outfield player. Not sure whether that's been confirmed anywhere or not.

It must count if he couldn't use Cashin/Thompson last night?

Dylan Williams is missing from that 23 (24!??) man list then?

What makes them special / exempt?

I know that’s a World Cup squad rule, I guess it makes logical sense in this situation though.

The Chorley FA Cup game didn't count - we had to ask for the EFL to make an exception due to the circumstances.
No one new yesterday. All had played in the League before, except for Williams who also doesn't count due to being a scholar.

I think that was just Chinese whispers tbh... people trying to guess why we'd sign a 3rd GK when we have limited squad spaces available.

Either way, a fee for Marshall could help alleviate some of the embargo restrictions, especially if we promote a younger age bracket goalkeeper / another free.
