If that`s legit we can expect Adam Matthews to be 20 and it sort of proves we knew he was coming to us before today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Hitler Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 If that's right should I be concerned that our obvious first choice striker is down at no. 22 rather than at 9? I thought that the standard way if numbering was to have your expected first choice team of permanent players (as opposed to loans) in the 1 - 9 positions.

All seemed to start when Beckham was 23 and stayed that way and suddenly lots of top players were 23. Tomlin was desperate to be 10 - that was known. Agard maybe handed 9 to stop his toys coming out the pram but he will never be a true number 9 at this level. O'Donnell is surely our number 1 but maybe did not want to upset fielding or perhaps ROD likes his number. Kodjia is bound to be a superstition thing - he is a nutter !!

Lanterne Rouge Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Joey B`s been No.23 as long as I can remember him being a first team player. Same with Marlon and No.21, Wilbs and 18, LF and 15 and Bobby Reid and 14.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby has had a couple of others too I think. True that alot of players prefer a certain number which is quite often not between 1-11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Orns Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Apologies @Neo, picked up your comment by mistake and now can't get shot of it! Scotty commented on the number list above the other day on twitter saying that they were the pre season numbers and that they weren't confirmed for the new season as yet. Can't imagine they would be too different. Didn't Matthews wear 26 last season, that's free, so could be the only change to what @phantom posted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Hitler Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Wonder what the rules are for this. Could somebody have 205 after a favourite car or 999 after a long forgotten punk band? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben4BCFC Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Semi-relevant to strange numbers and the adjustment of the 1-11 starting lineup system that was always in place. I always remember Zamorano for Inter playing as number 18 but because he was so desperate to be their number 9, he has a + sign put in between his numbers on his shirt. Must be some other strange ones. I think I'm right in saying Balotelli wanted to be 45 for Liverpool(?) because 4+5=9. Usually some reasons behind weird numbers that players choose to have, especially if they can't have their first choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRISTOL86 Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Yep I think anything from 1-99 is allowed. I would like to see O'Donnell at 1 and Kodjia at 9. But it seems the in thing to hold onto a squad number for superstitious reasons. I remember even as a 14 year old being really annoyed to see Billy Mercer wearing number 2.

Was an odd one seeing Mercer wearing 2 Remember the Argies wearing their WC numbers in 78 and possibly 82 (I think) in alphabetical order, Ossie Ardiles wore #1, only a certain youngster called Maradona refused and demanded 10.....

I was 16 when he made his debut and Christ it boiled my piss seeing that. As I've gotten older I just shrug myshoulders. However players wearing ridiculously high numbers (see clubs on the continent) like 77, 80, 99 etc baffle me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
