Squad numbers

Only 2 days to the start of the new Prem season and 3 days to our first game.

Isn't it about time the sqaud numbers were announced? That will give us a much better indication of Malky's thoughts on his best 11 and so on?

No changes on the club website yet and the only news is the conformation of Joe Ralls loan to yeovil until 4/1/14.

 

There'll be a couple of exceptions including CB 39, but it is usually a fair indication. As you say, thought we might have heard by now.

 

Well Cornelius must take the number 9 off Velikonja, and Caulker the number 4 off Kiss.

 

wouldn't El Pitbull take the 4 shirt? I assumed Caulker will have 5 or 6 on his back.

 

On twitter last night, they should be released today

 

Hopefully to coincide with announcement of another signing.

32 named and no number 11 - every picture tells a story.

 

Who was 11 last year? Conway?

Hopefully a new signing in the next few days then

 

Could take more than a few days but the signs are there for a new signing (or 2)

 

Kev won't be happy at 25 (unless he was given the choice), 1 below Lappin and only just above Kiss. Probably his last season with us.

Maynard at 23, again unless his choice that may be an indication all is not well.

I wonder if 13 is a lucky number in S. Korea?

 

of the 32, 4 are U21, so 3 to miss out as it stands.

Interesting that Connolley gets the 2 shirt.

 

Assuming there is a new winger coming in that makes it 33 but with Ralls and Nugent out on loan we only have 2 under 21's (Harris and John) so 4 to miss the cut: -

Kiss
Velikonja

plus 2 more.

Lappin could be one and it will be very tough on whoever else gets the chop.

 

........

 

I spy a gloating Sparkey.

 

No one likes a smart arse!

 

Unless of course it is part of someone of the opposite sex or you are of the.......................opposite persuasion?

 

fair point.

 

- two for the price of one.

I'm only singing cos I'm winning

 

It's got to be Jeff in that 11 shirt.
