Squad Numbers....

All advertisments are hidden for logged in members, why not log in/register?




Everybody last year kept the numbers they had in pre-season, nobody thought McNulty and Scougs would keep 7 and 8, but they did. Clarke, Lavery and Reed being 9, 22 and 30 in training means they are most likely their new numbers, Ched will be 32. Thomas will be 8, even though that is a bit weird for a winger who won't start much.
 
as it stands at the moment
1. Moore
2. Baldock
3. Stevens
4. Fleck
5. O'Connell
6. Basham
7. Coutts
8. Thomas
9. Clarke/Duffy/New signing
10. Sharp
11. Clarke/Duffy/New signing
12. Long/new keeper
13. Wright Sr
14. Hanson
15. J Eastwood
16. New signing
17. Brooks?
18. Freeman
19. EEL if he returns
20. Whiteman (after loan spell)
21. Clarke/Duffy/New signing
22. Lavery
24. Lafferty
32. Evans
44. Carruthers
 
We should follow Carlos's example and put all the numbers in a tombola barrel, give it a spin, and pick em out at random.
Wasn't it Chansiri that gave the players their numbers? It does seem that it was done using your suggested method though :D

Duffy at 9 and 3 keepers in the first 15? As a numbers purist, I feel ill! :D
 
This is officially what the squad numbers need to be:


1. Moore
2. Freeman

4. Fleck

8. Coutts
9. Lavery
10. Sharp

12. New Defender
13. Wright
14. Brooks
15. Stevens
16. Hanson
17. New Defender
18. New Midfielder
19. New Striker

28. Wilson
30. Eastwood
57. Done
112. Hussey
504. Wallace

Looks like Stevens has 3 and Thomas has 8...



Don't know why Thomas has 8 when it could go to Coutts. Similarly bizarre to giving it to Scougall last season.

Thomas looks a bit handy, he knocked that yellow pole out with one punch :eek:
 
Stearman should be given a prominent number.

I officially demand he be given number 4 with Fleck taking 8.
 



carruthers is keeping 44 then, got a feeling clarke has the number 9 shirt for next season unless were saving it for a new attacking player
 
Looks like Leon has got number 9, and fascinatingly Hanson has switched from 16 to 17. Why's Ched 32?

Stevens and Thomas being 3 and 8 isn't anything we didn't already know, the first picture of the new signings in training had those two, Baldock as 2 and Evans as 32. Clarke being 9 was mentioned right at the start of this thread.

Training numbers are...

New signings
2 Baldock
3 Stevens
8 Thomas
32 Evans
tba Stearman

Number changes
1 Moore (was 25)
9 Clarke (was 27)
17 Hanson (was 16, although he also wore 17 in training last season)
22 Lavery (was 9)
30 Reed (was 22)
31 Hallam (was 37)
?? Long (was 1, out on loan)
?? Brayford (was 2, doesn't have a number on his training kit)
?? Hussey (was 3, out on loan)
?? Wallace (was 17, whereabouts unknown)
?? Whiteman (was 23, maybe still could be, but he's out on loan so doesn't matter)

Vacant?
7, 12, 14, 16, 19, 20, most numbers after 25

Same as last year
4 Fleck
5 O'Connell
6 Basham
10 Sharp
11 Done? (haven't actually seen a picture of him where his number is visible)
13 JM Wright
15 Coutts
17 Hanson
18 Freeman
21 Duffy
24 Lafferty
31 Eastwood
36 Brooks
44 Carruthers
 
So I know up to now:

1. Moore (unless we buy a first choice keeper)
2. Baldock
3. Stevens
4. Wright Snr
5.
6. Basham
7.
8. Thomas
9. Clarke
10. Sharp
11.
13. Lafferty
17. Hanson
22. Lavery
32. Evans
44. Carruthers

Fill in the blanks if you can.

If the first 11 is indicative of Wilder's current thoughts on a starting 11, who would be your 5,7 & 11 (if they're not already taken)

Oconnel is 5, Wright is still 13 from what the training pics say, havent seen Lafferty but can only assume he is still 24, as enda is 3, freeman still 18, coutts 15

hanson was number 16 last year so his number has changed
 
I accidentally included Hanson in both changed and the same lists. I also missed James Wilson out. Today's game should provide numbers for Stearman and Graham and show whether the training numbers and match numbers match up, although back in the day you'd just wear 1-11 for pre-season.
 
Looks like Leon has got number 9, and fascinatingly Hanson has switched from 16 to 17. Why's Ched 32?
Cheds is the number of months he did inside or the amount (in thousands) that he's on per week
 
Can't be far off the numbers for the new season being confirmed.

May also give an indication to any potential incomings, if any numbers are left 'unassigned'.
 
A few observations and a few things that irk me, and my OCD...numbers have to feel right:

  • Stearman looks like being 19
  • Why does Thomas take 8? He's a winger. He should have 11 and Coutts should have 8.
  • Freeman will want 18
  • Duffy will want 21
  • 7 could be Carruthers but that is a wingers number for me, not a centre mid's.
  • Of our options, Clarke ought to be 9, he's earned it and could be a useful asset for us next year when fit.
  • Ched will have to prove himself worthy of the 9 shirt and probably won't want the pressure right away of picking up where he left off. He wore 32 when he was successful at Norwich a la below...

I too am OCD about this, and it won't be perfect by any means. However under Wilder we will not have to endure such torture as James Beattie wearing 6.
