Squad Numbers Confirmed.

Scott gets the number nine shirt.

Dissapointing that Jatta hasn't got the number nine shirt, but pleased for Cedwyn that Stuart has given it to him for the season.

Im just glad mcgoldrick didnt get number 9 and we've given it to a younger more capable player. I wonder how slocombe feels about not being number 1. He still gets game time though currently.

I am pleased for Cedwyn Scott, it's good to see him get his best friends shirt number and I hope it means we'll see him more often in the starting line-up - instead of coming on from off the bench. He's a class player, who should shine for us.

It was between him and Jatta at the end of the day.

Also, I wonder if this means we won't be signing anyone else? The assignment of squad numbers typically indicates that the team's recruitment process is complete. Not always, as there can be surprises and the odd team that doesn't, but generally it does. I also thought Matty Palmer had had a different number previously, but this could be me misremembering.

I wonder why 12-16 is missing? I can understand 13 not being included as it’s deemed unlucky.

I thought that too @Fan of Big Tone usually these would be taken and then the players who sign at a later date are usually given the numbers in the 20s...

In Spain for example the first team are only allowed numbers from 1-25 and the goalkeepers must wear 1, 13 or 25. Purely from an orderly point of view I like it when all the numbers flow and there are no gaps in the squad list!

I guess some players have some sort of affiliation to a certain number... Tsaroulla wore the No.25 at Crawley, likewise Cundy was No.24 at Bristol City. Jatta wore the No.12 shirt at Viborg and it is the day of his birthday so I thought if he hadn't got the No.9 he would've switched, but obviously not!

well there is a huge leap from 11 to the next number but i dont think it will mean much. we might be keeping the numbers free for future signings such as in january?

Pretty standard squad number release, no genuine surprises or shocks. There’s room for other additions if the club chooses to recruit further, either now or later on.

I could imagine some higher numbers might come down next season depending on performances.
