Do we have any idea who hasn't been registered? I believe a few have to miss out from the 25

Baxter, Ingram (Lo-Tutala who doesn't need to be registered)
Greaves, Fig, Jones, McLoughlin, Elder, Fleming, Christie, Coyle
Woods, Slater, Simons, Seri, Traore, Tufan, Doc, Salah, Pelkas
Sinik, Vale, Longman, Estupinan, Sayyadmanesh, Tetteh

That would leave Cannon, Williams, Smith, Scott, Emmanuel and Callum Jones

I don’t think there’s a limit on squad size in the championship, just certain criteria that has to be met for match day squad.

That is totally wrong.

25 man squad, excluding U21 players who don’t need to be registered. That excludes loans, who need to be registered in the 25 man squad no matter their age.
 
Greaves, Allahyar, Lo Tutala, Longman all don’t need to be registered.

You’d imagine Chadwick, Scott, Emmanuel, Cannon, Williams don’t get registered. That’s 9 in total surely there isn’t more than 25 others?

I think you have to be 20 at the start of the year so Sayyadmanesh doesn;t count but Greaves and Longman do.

Imagine Smith will be registered but Cannon and Williams miss out
 
This all sort of underlines a point I made a couple weeks back about any sort of strategy seemingly flying out the window and just taking a gung ho approach to signing players just because they’re available.

It’s poor to end up with so many players that cannot be registered. Both from a football perspective and a business/financial perspective.

It’s a little concerning to say the least. And to think there are people on here seriously claiming we needed more <doh>

To be fair I think the plan was to offload the players who won't be registered, but due to the injury list they're needed for the immediate future.

If we’d never had the injury crisis, Cannon, Williams etc would’ve all gone. According to Baz we are going to try and ship them all abroad<laugh><laugh>
 
The two Chelsea loanies you struggle to see how they will fit in with a fully fit squad, unnecessary signings in the grand scheme of things when two senior players who have been making appearances both last season and this will now have to go unregistered?

Can’t be good for squad harmony.

Vale is one of the best young prospects in the country, if he adapts to to the mens game he'll be heavily involved.

If they come in and train well I doubt they’ll care
 
25-man squad would have to exclude Emmanuel, Cannon, T. Smith, Williams, Scott, C. Jones and Jacob to make way for the new signings.
 
I think 1 of them can be registered. Most likely Smith as we're short for depth at ST

They can’t by the laws of the game, I think. Only u21 is Lo-Tutala. The rest are over 21 and loanees count towards the 25 regardless of age.

EDIT: I think Allahyar is classed as under-21 as he was born after 1st January 2001, which is the cutoff. So there may be room for Tyler Smith.
