gurujuan Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 These numbers don’t really tell us much, though perhaps understandable that we keep the number 9 free, plus the left back slot. It’s marginally interesting that Hidalgo and Grant don’t get a number, especially as Hidalgo was touted by Monk as having a role to play. Maybe he’s going to join Forestieri at Watford? Might explain why we are looking at wingers for the development squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Growing up you remember Hirst No 9 shirt or Waddle in number 8. Last I looked the fans still sing about England's number 1 not England's No 36. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A) Would you prefer the prices at Sheffield Wednesday across the board, for example Season Tickets, matchday tickets, official merchandise, corporate hospitality, were reduced to previous eras? The consequence of this would be the sale of key senior players, regular promotion to the first team of academy youngsters and a reduced level of investment. Answer: Yes 29.94% No 70.06% B) Alternatively, would you prefer the club to build on the current level of investment, maintain the pricing structure, and extend our ongoing strategy geared towards promotion to the Premier League. Answer: Yes: 70.14% No: 29.86% 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
room0035 Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 I would love to know the fans on here view what do you prefer the traditional 1 - 11 with a keeper in 1 a striker in 9 and 10 your wingers in 8, and 2 and 3 full backs. OR do you prefer players have obscure numbers on the back can the mods set up a vote for 1-11 or not bothered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watto Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 I can see why Rhodes hasn't got the number 9 , no number 1 is a joke. Squad numbers should by allocated by the management team but traditional stuff like 1-11 went years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh by the way I am giving you the number 20 shirt, so I can give No9 to the player we bring in on loan when you are not delivering the goods.

Baldrick Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 We seem quite often to start the season without a number 9 harking back to the Franny Jeffers era Reach got it for the remainder of his first season which says it all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just checked Jordan Rhodes shirt number history, he very rarely has a shirt number to match his position on the pitch. The shirt numbers are, 38,17,11,9,17,7,11,6 - which bizarrely, are the same dimensions of one of my exes....... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumable 38 would be when he first started then the first 11 and 9 would have been Huddersfield or Blackburn when he was banging in the goals for fun. I just think you say to a footballer you are my no 9 he thinks the manager see him as a first team regular you say you are no 20 or 32 you just get the mindset you are a squad player. Maybe football has changed but for me its for the worst. I cannot remember Beckham at Man Utd wanting to wear the number 20 shirt he wanted the No7 the same way Ronaldo did, when Shearer moved to Newcastle he didn't want the 26 shirt he wanted the No9 there is something for a player to say he is 1-11. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't they just scrap the squad numbers what is the point anymore. No 1, 3, ,5 6, 9 5 new starters still to sign. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Seems very strange Grant hasn’t got a number. Makes me feel a bit sick seeing Pessy in the number 8 shirt. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it probably shows we want another wing back two midfielders and a cf. be surprised but pleased if we bought in 2 more midfield players. I always thought number 5 was for a defender in the old days? Edited September 4, 2020 by WalthamOwl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malek Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Fully expected us not to give number 1 shirt to either Wildsmith or Dawson. Guess it is Monk's way of sending message how he expect them to fight hard with each other for that starting spot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
