TheMarshmallowMan 0 Posted June 27, 2005 Interesting to see Paul McVeigh is given the no. 18 shirt.Possible reprieve for WLY? Why give him a squad number if you expect him to be gone or confined to the reserves? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark Smith 0 Posted June 27, 2005 Not sure what''s interesting about McVeigh being given the 18 shirt, regardless of whether he''s transfer listed or not, he still has to have a squad number submitted to the football league! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YGB 0 Posted June 27, 2005 No surprises McVeigh keep the same number. I was just wondering how long it has been since we have had a regular number 2 in our team- Briggs no Mcgovern no. was kenton a number 2???ps what does wly mean??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tumbleweed 106 Posted June 28, 2005 Interesting this. Why give the Danish captain the 26 shirt? He had made the No 2 position his own last season by the end- is the fact that he has been given 26 again a sign that he is going? Also Francis- not No 8 or anything which would indicate a starting line up position- again a possible sign of a move.Then Leon is still at No 14- why not at No 8 if he is to partner Ashton? Does it mean Nigel is trying to find a new striker for the No 8 position or a new midfielder?And Safri too would for me be an obvious No 8 if that slot was free (which it may not be if reserved for a Matt Svenson replacement).Am I reading too much into this? Well who cares, its all good fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Herb 0 Posted June 28, 2005 I was hoping Deano would get 9 and Leon 10 or vice versa.Nothing against Jonson, but 9?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blacko 0 Posted June 28, 2005 Is it the writing on the wall for Helveg? sadly it looks like it as it does for Francis, but I am very surprised not to see Leon with a lower number and it worries me that he may be off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex Harvey-Jones 0 Posted June 28, 2005 I don''t think we can read much into squad numbers really. Worthington hasn''t left room for new signings in 1-11 so unless he is going to sign pepople who are not going to be in the team then the starting 11 will not be wearing 1-11! I can''t see Brennan starting either and Safri being left out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,218 Posted June 28, 2005 [quote]I was hoping Deano would get 9 and Leon 10 or vice versa.Nothing against Jonson, but 9??[/quote] Jonson is a striker, simple as, and he is being played out of position. prehaps nigel has the intentions to actually play him in the right place this year!!!!!!!!
