Looked like the squad numbers were revealed today for those players that made the squad and weren’t injured. I’m not sure of the missing numbers though.

4 Joyce

5

6

7 Worrall

8 Oyeleke

9 Pope

Do we usually have a number 13 ?

 

Presumably Montano will be 3 and Legge and Kay will be 5 and 6.

I didn’t think clubs used 13 either. But we have. I’m assuming Hornby was 12. Montano is 3.

[fuzzyvalefan]

I would guess Miller will be 10

Quite a few Premier League goalkeepers have number 13 but not so many in the EFL. Maybe the number 13 is not deemed to be unlucky in other countries.

 

Theo Vassell will probably be 16

Theo Vassell will probably be 16

I’m assuming Kay and Legge 5 & 6. Miller 10. Pugh or Vassell 16 or 21.

[philmpv]

Pugh was 16 today, even though the announcer guy got him confused with quigley

Do we usually have a number 13 ?

Very rarely. Levi Reid, Martin Paterson and loanee David Beresford are the only outfield players I can think of who wore 13 since we started wearing squad numbers in 1999. Kevin Pilkington wore 13 that year but since then goalkeepers have tended to be number 12 more often than not.

Jesus what a horrible hall of fame that is!

[Danish Valiant]

Did McKeown have his name on his shirt as well?

No. Only him and Benns had no name or number.

No name an no number

[jeffers]

I'd guess

5 Legge

6 Kay

10 Miller

12 Vassell

 

McKeown won't have a number until/when he is signed.

Wonder if Aspo's different formation included a back 5.

In Gibbons & Montano we have two players made for the roles and with Vassell, Legge, Rawlinson & Smith (& with Hoskins on the radar) we have candidates for a central three. I was impressed with Vassell's half @ Kidsgrove and Smith looked good yesterday.

We then have a choice of Worrall, Oyeleke, Joyce & Hannant for the midfield three.

Up front Pope & Miller look to be a shoe in, but so far Quigley has looked strong & determined to keep Popey on his toes. Apart from him we have Dodds & Kanu to come off the bench.

On paper at least we look pretty good.

Filled in a few blanks from last night.

 

There's a few interesting numbers of note - number 10 I assume will be Miller for a start. It's interesting that Pugh changed [down] number, so I guess that'll mean he's further down the pecking order. Also, why change Smith if not to something more predominantly common for a centre half?

 

I suppose numbers are numbers though and don't particularly mean much.
