Psychology of Squad Numbers

[Nolan]

We've now got only 12 Squad numbers between 1 and 20 in use.

Do we get some of the regular starters to move up to the 'standard' squad numbers or does that make no difference any more?

If we ever sign Osvaldo back, I would give him squad number 666 !

Is KWP getting #2?

It would make sense. None of it really matters but if we’re being traditional:

2. KWP 
3. Vokins 
6. Salisu
8.  Whoever’s replacing PEH. Possibly Smallbone or Reed. 
11. Maybe N’Lundulu. We haven’t really got any first team attackers above #25. 
13. Gunn maybe. 
15. Bednarek maybe, or Salisu.

it feels like the #7 shirt is the only one that matters. Whatever happened to the kids fighting to get the number 2 or any other first 11 shirt

Who was the last 1st team player to get promoted through the numbers

Wayne Bridge 18-3

KWP could take 2 with Cedric gone, Bertrand could take 3 now that Yoshida isn’t here. Salisu 6 you would think.

8 available for JWP if he wants it.

Bertrand signed off an Instagram story earlier today with ‘RB3’ so assume he is taking the #3 shirt this season? Not sure why he hasn’t done before now though... can’t remember who had it last off the top of my head?
