Either that list is wrong, or Bunn has been told he needs to wait until January before he has a chance to play in the league.

This list is taken from the NCFC squad listed on the PL web site. The detailed profiles for each player include whether he is a member of the 25-man squad. However the list has at least one mistake, since Jed Steer is said to be in the squad but not Under-21 (so I moved him to appear with Rudd and Kane)! I checked to see if Chris Martin was in the 25-man squad, and it says he is. Bit of a mystery about Bunn then.
 
I can only think - if it isn't a mistake - that we thought we were going to lose one of the fringe players during the transfer window and thus opening up a space. As we didn't, Hughton thought he would be better placed to name the outfield players on the list and use Steer/Rudd as back-up. Bunn will of course still be able to play in the cup competitions. I'm still confident that this is an oversight by either us or the Premier League.
 
The most likely explanation is that the PL web site is at fault. Bunn doesn't appear in the alphabetical list of current players either, although Kane is already listed for example. Still raises the question of who has been left out if Bunn is actually in the official 25.

This hiatus is why I started the thread in the first place. I did a quick count this morning and realised we still had 26 not under-21 players.
 
Another possibility is that you have leeway if you have one or more injured players? There must be a reason; I would expect the squad to be announced on the official twitter site if it had been finalised.

Don't think there is any leeway when it comes to outfield players. I'm certain they only give leeway in exceptional circumstances when it comes to 'keepers, and I'm pretty sure the FA would not give any leeway to us if we have a goalkeeping crisis, as we didn't name Bunn in the initial squad.

What I mean is that maybe you don't have to submit your final list of 25 by the official deadline (today at 4 p.m.) if one or more of the players you intend to include is unfit. But that wouldn't explain why the players on the list are all said to be in the squad.

The more I think about it, the more I'm thinking its just an error on the Premier League site.<ok>

Well that list misses off Elliott Ward, and that would surprise me somewhat.
