owlZfan84 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 It seems that the players have all had the same squad numbers as last season in the pre-season games so far. So, does that mean we're sticking with classics such as - No.2 - Wildsmith No.6 - Fletcher No.5 - Lee No.9 - Reach Or do you think we'll revert back to much more 'normal' squad numbers when the season starts? At this rate, the squad numbers may well need to be etched into the players back though. Who knows. P.S - thank god football returns a week on Saturday.

beloved_aunt Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Last summer we played in our "old" squad numbers all the way up to the end of the pre season friendlies then got that ludicourous set of new-wage squad numbers in the week before the Villa game. I predict the same this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adem Poric Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I'm sure Adthe was wearing a different number in preseason. Fully expect a lot of them to change. Because money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamworthowl Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 We will be playing in last season's kit. So squad numbers will be the same as last season. Boyd will be collecting his kit from the mega store this week. Unfortunately, although there's loads still there, they are all XXXL, so he will have to trot out looking like a scarecrow. He will however go under the pseudonym of Bod as the shop have still not received delivery of any Ys. His squad number will be determined by the numbers available in the shop. He will probably be number 00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnarwolf Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I'd imagine they'll stay the same because it was something about lucky numbers. Not that it matters in the slightest though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birley Owl 1867 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Think there will be some movements. Winnall, Reach and Rhodes were all late arrivals into the number scene, can see that these will be redistributed. Same as before for everyone else, but: 4 - New CB (when he finally comes) 8 - Boyd 10 - Rhodes With Reach and Winnall keeping there current numbers or just some random mismatch again. Like Winnall no. 24 and Boyd 26 or summat daft. I'll plump for the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
