Squad Numbers - CONFIRMED

3 may be free because Fox might like his number 13 form last season. Adkins stated he was happy with Fox and Shaw as left backs in the press conference. Plus Clyne can also play on the left if needed.

 

3 is free because we're signing a left back, just like 15 is free because we're signing a centre back and 10 is free because we're signing Ramirez.

 

Big drops for Richardson, Chaplow and Guly, Butterfield may be glad he's even got a number, as Barnard, Dickson and Reeves don't have.

just gor the record, lee was confirmed as 19 when the home kit came out

 

Nobody was confirmed as anything when the kit came out, but the shop sold a few shirts pre-printed "at your own risk" for Lambert, Lallana, and Lee.

I realise no-one gives a toss, but here's my guesswork from the end of June, just goes to prove how much can change... we've signed Clyne, Steven Davis, Ward-Prowse has impressed, Forte has gone on loan, Seaborne has come back better than anticipated, Barnard and Dickson are out of the squad altogether and Hooiveld has got #5 despite preferring 26 on twitter.

 

1 Davis

2 Richardson Clyne in

3 Fox Fox has kept #13

4 Schneiderlin

5 ? is now Hooiveld

6 Fonte

7 Lambert

8 Cork Davis in

9 Rodriguez

10 Sharp kept for Ramirez

11 Guly Sharp keeps #11 - as requested on twitter

12 Butterfield taken by Gazzaniga in a twist on our numbering system

13 Shaw bumped down for Fox and empty #3

14 Hammond

15 ? still free

16 ? Ward-Prowse

17 De Ridder free as Forte is on loan

18 ? Cork as bumped by Davis

19 Lee

20 Lallana

21 ? Guly as bumped by Ramirez/Sharp

22 J Stephens turns out he's a CB now so has 26

23 Harding sold, Shaw has number as 3rd choice LB

24 ? Dunno how I knew this would stay vacant

25 ? Seaborne recovery better than imagined

26 Hooiveld now Stephens

27 Chambers has 28, so close.

28 Chaplow has 27, dammit

29 Barnard no squad number even though 29 is free...

30 Ward-Prowse has done better than expected and is 16

31 ? free

32 ? is Butterfield as Gazzaniga has changed the "use" of 12

33 Dickson gone, De Ridder has kept the number

35 Seaborne has 25 due to decent recovery

37 Forte loaned out

41 Forecast loaned out

42 Puncheon

 

Despite having the basics of position and number spot on, nearly all of them are wrong due to the new signings and a couple of better ratings of kids. Unlucky with Chambers and Chaplow though !

2, 22, 32 RBs

(3), 13, 23 LBs

4, 8, 10, 14, 16, 18, 20, 27, 28, 29, (30), 33, 42 MIDs

7, 9, 11, (17), 19, 21, 24 LW/RW/STs

Plus 34-40 and 43 upwards which could be pretty much anyone youth/late.

(35, 36 both dev strikers)

17 also missing!

 

Guly moving to 21 might be because of new signing?

 

"Might be?" as long as we sign him that's what he's getting, it's already been reported.

 

17 is missing because we just loaned Forte out, though he wasn't getting a number anyway. Reeves, Dickson and Barnard also don't have numbers. I don't think "you're not wanted any more" is said better than by not giving players numbers when there are plenty relating to their position free.

  • 2 weeks later...

Also, from Tuesday :

 

29 Reeves

34 Moore

35 Hoskins

36 Sinclair

 

None of those were announced in the initial squad list.

 

Amusingly, the OS report of the Stevenage match "report" button here : http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/fixtures-results/match-report/

correctly notes that Hoskins came on for Sharp, whilst the Press Association release claims it was "Cobey" Moore (34 not the person with "HOSKINS 35" on his shirt, and not called Cobey) This is also repeated on the OS on the "lineup" button - the one right next to the "report". So it's inconsistent on the OS across two tabs next to each other... :facepalm:
