or Agyei

I had him on the U21 list so didn't think of him but he hasn't got one either.

[Selby Claret]

two threads on this...

[Petersa]

From memory Richardson, Casper and Waller have been on the bench in a league game although didn't get on. They would therefore have had a number at some time.

[Goliath]

Why wouldn't Dodgson have one. Surely it means they have a loan lined up. He was linked with Celtic and Rangers last season so clearly had a decent loan spell

They would have been given squad numbers once they got on the bench but Richardson's appearances were back in the 2020/21 season and Casper was in 2022/23. Wasn't aware that Waller had been on the bench.

You would think so but even though he was out on loan for much of last season he did have a squad number.

[ArmchairDetective]

What does Agyei not having a number tend to mean at this stage? That we can't expect him to be involved? Assumed he'd be sniffing around the first team given his appearance in the friendly.

You have to have a number to play but they can be allocated at any time.

From a rapidly ageing memory Watford away in the game when Weghorst was subbed and had a big sulk. I think someone was injured in the warm up leaving a man short on the bench. Waller was the spare travelling keeper so was named at the last minute. I have this vague memory of it

We'd two goalkeepers on the bench that day but they were Hennessey and Norris.

2024/25 Squad List: (from the Club website)

1 James Trafford
2 Dara O’Shea
3 Shurandy Sambo
5 Maxime Estève
6 CJ Egan Riley
7 Johann Berg Gudmundsson
8 Josh Brownhill
9 Jay Rodriguez
10 Manuel Benson
11 Scott Twine
14 Connor Roberts
15 Nathan Redmond
16 Sander Berge
17 Lyle Foster
18 Hjalmar Ekdal
19 Anass Zaroury
20 Etienne Green
21 Aaron Ramsey
22 Vitinho
23 Lucas Pires
24 Josh Cullen
25 Zeki Amdouni
28 Ameen Al-Dakhil
29 Wout Weghorst
30 Luca Koleosho
31 Mike Trésor
32 Vaclav Hladký
34 Luke McNally
36 Jordan Beyer
37 Andréas Hountondji
40 Charlie Casper
42 Han-Noah Massengo
44 Hannes Delcroix
45 Michael Obafemi
47 Wilson Odobert
48 Enock Agyei

I make that 36. The squad limit is 25 plus Players who were born after 1/1/2003. ( I make those 6 - Egan-Riley, Ramsey, Odobert, Koleosho, Casper and Egyei). So that makes 31, so if I've got it right (and it's a big if!), we need to lose 5 from the list.

Interesting nobody has taken Cork’s number. Maybe, just maybe he could do a JBG? Though I’m not sure if that’s just nostalgia talking!

[BigGaz]

There are a lot of players that you'd expect to be moved on that have taken sought after numbers.

May of course be reading too much into it but perhaps signposts that some folks exit isn't the foregone conclusion we think it is

[bfcmik]

Costelloe now gone to Accy

[FCBurnley]

Looks like Trafford is here to stay Number 1

[quoonbeatz]

Should be illegal for a right back to wear 3.

[Selby Claret]

Wout on his third squad number already

[Selby Claret]

Dodgson now given 39 again on club website

[ClaretTony]

Dodgson now given 39 again on club website

They take incompetence to a new level on a regular basis - they publish the squad numbers and within an hour they've had to change it three times because they didn't included some players.

Anway, now up to date on here again at

I’d not noticed, Tony.

With Dodgson added now, think that's 6 that we need to loan/sell!

[aclaretinstevenage]

Have we retired Number 4?

I may have missed it but seems odd.

I think we went a couple of years without using the number 8

[aclaretinstevenage]

I think we went a couple of years without using the number 8

Probably some odd superstitions among the players, all very odd.

[Commy]

I notice Twine has number 11. Maybe our new manager likes what he has seen in the friendlies or he just didn't want to change it.

[THEWELLERNUT70]

Have we retired the number 4 or are we looking at a new player to fill it

[Pickles]

Managers wouldn't just a change a squad number because a player isn't in their plans. Often it's nothing to do with the manager. It's usually just left to the players and new players especially just get given a list from the kitman of available numbers.

Could be neither, I posted further up that when Marney left, no one too his shirt until Brownhill arrived.

Found it. He was on the bench a few weeks earlier at Brighton when we won 3-0.
