Squad numbers


Stedcfc

Recommended Posts

Its usually interesting when the tam return to training to try and work out the squad numbers. It's usually a good indication of who Clough sees as first team. It will be interesting to see what numbers he leaves empty. Last season 8 was obviously left open for a new signing and one never came. I expect maybe both 5 and 6 to be free but OB or bucko could have one. Jacobs or bavies might get 7 im guessing the formidable pair in cm will be 8 and 4. Maybe Tyson will lose 9 for a sub number? Anyway might give some clues to what we might be getting in!

I don't see why anyone we've brought in would change number (ie Tyson, Theo, Bavies, Barker etc), obviously Shackell & SDavies numbers will be available. 6 will be reserved for a new defender, I think OB could potentially get it, but it seems like such a kick in the nads [size=3][for fans expecting a new signing][/size] that the board will avoid it. Jacobs will almost certainly get 11. Youth team players are the only ones likely to change, so Jeff Hendrick could potentially get 8 and Will Hughes is a contender for 7.

Why would Tyson have 9 taken away? Give him a decent pre-season and he could have a good season (he couldn't have a much worse one).

Why would Barker get a number? Green didn't get one last season till he came back from his long term injury

Because Green probably wasn't expected to play for us again, and whilst Barker may never for different reasons, he is still the captain. Although it is a possibility that he won't get a number, his current number certainly won't be given away. Or maybe it would, who knows. Wait and see I guess.

Like Asanovic said, I've been thinking about this non stop (for about 300 seconds), and that is more than it deserved.

What difference does it make who has what number? When was the last time we fielded a team of 1-11? I guess the last game of our promotion season inder TBE. In fact can anyone name a team that have dedicated numbers that uave started 1-11? I can only thonk of 1!!
