I've always thought of #4 as a defensive midfielder, #6 as a CB. Good chat I agree with you, but Dougie can keep #6. Should give 4 and 5 to Mings and Konsa, though, and Cash and Targett should be 2 and 3. Marvelous needs to give 11 to Ollie. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

skarroki 1,282 Posted September 10, 2020 Report Share Posted September 10, 2020 When do squad numbers have to be registered with the league? Was hoping any big gaps could hint at signings, or positions we hope to strengthen Link to post Share on other sites
Wezbid 2,470 Posted September 10, 2020 Report Share Posted September 10, 2020 I remember in my youth football days. The manager would throw the kitbag on the floor and it was a free for all for shirts. Usually people would do trades but there used to be a few scraps too. Great for morale and team building 10 mins before the match. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

I'd like McGinn to take 8 to free up 7 for a new signing and Marv will most likely give up the 11 shirt to Ollie. I agree with above I think a player in the first 11 numbers is generally a starter. I don't like Mings wearing 40, but that's his choice obviously. Why would McGinn change numbers? Link to post Share on other sites

I used to play up front. Link to post Share on other sites

AtkinsonWonderGoal 38 Posted September 11, 2020 Report Share Posted September 11, 2020 Unless I'm the only one who thinks this, I don't think we should change numbers once associated with a player. So much is spent on kit sales now to the fans that changes made to those players mean they are spoilt if they change. Link to post Share on other sites
villalad21 6,435 Posted September 11, 2020 Report Share Posted September 11, 2020 Give Watkins the number 9. Wesley not worthy that shirt. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

As long as they refund for ones bought with the incorrect number that particular summer. Then again I've never had a shirt with a name and number on and doubt I ever will.

Herman22 508 Posted September 11, 2020 Report Share Posted September 11, 2020 Good of Marv to give up the 11 jersey for Watkins. Cash taking the 2 jersey also makes sense. Marv moves to 19. Link to post Share on other sites

ThunderPower_14 1,425 Posted September 11, 2020 Report Share Posted September 11, 2020 Glad Watkins got 11, great result! I'm supportive of annual reshuffles. I like to think the first team should be mostly numbers in the 1-11 range. The last thing you want is some squad filler taking a key number. Link to post Share on other sites

AV82 622 Posted September 11, 2020 Report Share Posted September 11, 2020 Our last half decent #11 is our record PL goal scorer so let's hope Watkins can eclipse him. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
