United.squad numbers 1 to 11

[1973Blade]

A possible first this evening - Sander Berge (8) was the only player to wear a shirt numbered 1 to 11. (John Egan the next lowest wearing the 12 shirt). For traditionalists like me a sad day!

Stat geek.

 

[WorkingtonBlade]

Yeah, that really took the shine off the result for me too.

 

[coaxingstar71]

Disgraceful.

Great shout. Yeah, stuff like that makes me twitch too.

I've just double-checked our numbers one-to-eleven. We'd have struggled last night, not least because of injuries to 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7, and 11 now being a Birmingham City player.

 

[Rollerball]

Ndayie to wear 4 (sale) if we don’t go up.
Tbh I’m waiting for the 3 figure numbers on the shirts

It makes it hard for us mere mortals to understand coaches and pundits any more. Was Jebbison last night playing the number 9 role, with Ndiaye more of a withdrawn, roving number 10? Or was it that our number 9 sat in the middle of the front row of the subs bench, with the number 10 free to sit wherever he wanted on the bench behind? Football is a simple game

To top off a perfect day, nine out of 11 starting players were numbered 1 -11, an important point for tradionalists amongst us. The two offending players wearing numbers above 11 were Anel (15) and Souza (21).

To be fair, we were expecting both to be sold

Any idea when the last time we had 1-11 starting?

Sadly not, probably over ten years ago

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

There are still some needlessly daft numbers

Brooks 35? Peck 42? Burrows not taking 3?

 

[loyalblade95]

Peck at 42 isn't all that surprising as this is his first proper season in the senior team, academy players tend to have the higher shirt numbers.

McCallum took number 3, Bogle would have been 2 had he stayed.

The missing numbers today were 8 (Gus-bench) and 5 (Trusty-sold).
