Never to the dark side Posted July 28, 2023 Report Share Posted July 28, 2023 Numbers don't mean a lot nowadays, if I was playing I would be quite happy with what ever number was on my back. So looking at the squad,it would appear that the only players in the squad that need to be allocated numbers are Haydon Roberts Rob Dickie Ross McGrorie and Jason Knight The game at Portsmouth MIGHT give us some indication Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted July 28, 2023 Report Share Posted July 28, 2023 Think they are already known & are the ones in operation this week, so Max has moved to 1, Cam Pring to 3 & the new signings are 2 McCrorie, 12 Knight, 16 Dickie & 24 Roberts respectively.

petehinton Posted August 3, 2023 Report Share Posted August 3, 2023 Would say they’d have to be announced tomorrow, still nothing on the website. Quite odd considering you’d imagine a decent amount of kids will get players name and number on their kits. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SecretSam Posted August 4, 2023 Report Share Posted August 4, 2023 It's a good question, they will have to have told the FA ages ago. Will Max take the number 1, or stay with his old 12? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBW Posted August 4, 2023 Report Share Posted August 4, 2023 (edited) Some changes I believe are in place... O'Leary #1 McCrorie #2 Pring #3 Knight #12 Dickie #16 Roberts #24 Everything lower than 21 is the same though otherwise. Believe Harry Leeson may be taking Kalas' #22 and Raphael Araoye will take #27. If I were betting I'd probably hand Taylor-Clarke #23 too and believe one of Knight-Lebel or Callum Wood will take #25. Maybe Meerholz at #31... but we're getting into the numbers nobody cares about at this point. Edited August 4, 2023 by TBW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted August 4, 2023 Report Share Posted August 4, 2023 Unless there is something going on with Scott meaning the 7 shirt is suddenly free, I think they are widely known. Max O’Leary has moved to 1, McCrorie 2, Cam Pring to 3, Knight 12, Dickie 16, Roberts 24 & Leeson has moved to 22 & Bajic to 23. Araoye didn’t have a squad number last season but is 27.

Davefevs Posted August 4, 2023 Report Share Posted August 4, 2023 Leeson wore 2 in one of the games. Just to confuse things, but likely he’ll take 22. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With players having chosen numbers etc long gone that 1-11 stood for anything Plenty of players still really care about their number - look at ManUre, where Ronnie did a swap to get the number 7. And Wells seems very fond of 21. I remember Michael Ballack always loved the number 13 shirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traditionalists often like to see centre halves at 5 & 6, wingers at 7 & 11, a midfield of 4, 8 and 10 and the centre forward at 9. Being 9 at Newcastle for example was a big deal and every play making midfielder in Europe wants to wear 10. No italian Iikes to wear 23 as its their equivalent of our 13. Is that right?

Wonder if a loan was always the plan or if he hasn’t shown what was hoped for in pre-season… 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeson has been in and around the squad last year and done well pre season so I don’t see him being loaned out, particularly with McCrorie currently out. Surprised he’s not been allocated a number and he wore 22 pre season so there has to be some reason why that’s currently blank 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is behind Tanner and McCrorie, with Sykes, Scott, Vyner and Weimann able to play right back in a pinch, there may be a desire to get him some more experience on the pitch in a way that may not be possible here.

BCFCGav Posted August 4, 2023 Report Share Posted August 4, 2023 26 man squad currently then, with 20 needed for a matchday. As others have mentioned, surprised no number for OTC and I thought Francois might be given minutes here and there. As we could all see, Araoye and Knight-Lebel impressed in pre-season.

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted August 4, 2023 Report Share Posted August 4, 2023 Too much is read into squad numbers. While the lack of numbers for some of our youngsters could mean some are going to be loaned out it could just as easily mean theyre going to mainly play in the U21s. They will get a squad number if and when they're called up to the 1st team squad, as has been the case in previous seasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
