Seriki off then.? Grbic not going on loan? Makes me depressed seeing that No 9.
 
Players become a bit attached to shirt numbers these days where some might carry the same one all the way through their careers, like Rice in 41 or Matthaus in 10 and Mijailovic in 11, even when they were playing at the back.

I remember there being a story about West Ham having a bloke who refused to play unless he got number 10, like the sort of tosser you'd encounter in Sunday league who had a failed trial at Derby County when he was 12 but still thought he was prime Messi.

At least we haven't got the levels of tosspottery like Irankunda in 66 or Dykes in 99.

If Harry Kane turned up and wanted the 9 that Cannon was (inexplicably) wearing then I'd accept it but not an average clogger thinking he's top bollocks, you can get what's spare in the 20's or 30's instead.
 



He is there with the same number as last season.
Forgive me for being old fashioned Silent, but my first choice full back would be wearing 2. Unless Seriki has requested to remain as he is in the squad it smacks of another Wilder slap in the face.
 
As he played with Baldock, wonder if he doesn't want to wear the number? For him, that might be a lot of pressure
Of course. Being me, I would never have thought of that. I’m naturally suspicious of the motives of most people especially Mr Wilder recently.
 
Logical changes would be:

Seriki to 2, Doherty into the 20s or teens.
Peck to 8, if we knew that Hamer was going.
Rothwell into the 20s or teens. Loan winger to 7.
Bamford to 9, rather than Cannon.

Out of interest, when a player gains importance, let's say Oné has a brilliant season and becomes more integral to the side, who initiates the change to a more prevalent number?!
 
Think Sydie said he preferred 42.

Would rather have a traditional 1-11 than this "squad number" nonsense but if it shifts more shirts so be it 🤣
