Squad Number 2020/21

https://www.cafc.co.uk/news/view/5f5750bfccf56/202021-squad-numbers-confirmed

Surprised that Phillips has been given No.1

Remember Elliot getting something like No.39 the season he left

  • Don't understand that either as it looks like he could be on his way out any day now??
  • So all the interesting changes we saw ahead of the first game, nothing much changed. Not surprised about Phillips, I'm sure Bowyer still reckons he can have a final crack at convincing him to stay once the takeover is complete. Elliot was given 44. Not sure if he deliberately chose that as a mini-mope after being told he wouldn't be number 1 or if Powell gave it to him as a message.

    Unless its just insurance in case nothing happens

    If he's still here on the 17th October there is a slim chance we could get him to sign a new deal

    Bet if we gave him a shitty number then it would make that slim chance even slimmer

    As it would be our way of saying: "f**K off then Dillon"
  • 2 left open for Matthews/a different first choice Right Back
    5 left open for a first choice Centre Back

    12, 16 and 17 are all respectable numbers for first team players too, Phillips keeping 1 and Lapslie keeping 32 is interesting, the former may be an intention to keep him and the latter may be a lucky/sentimental number for him as he should be featuring prominently this season otherwise
  • Wouldnt it be the case of  keeping players with their existing numbers as fans already  have the names & numbers on their replica shirts. No reason to change them unless they leave & a new player comes in to replace them. 
  • Good to see 9 and 20 reassigned. Especially 20 wouldn't want that door left open.
  • I’m surprised lapslie didn’t get a lower number
  • Bloody hell, we really do have a threadbare squad at the moment.

    Loads of players seen to like 23 and 32 for some reason.

    Just thinking the same myself. Frightening really, a couple of injuries and we are down to the bare bones already......

    Michael Jordan wore 23, that's why Beckham chose it at Real Madrid apparently! Maybe Dylan is a Becks fan, that wouldn't be surprising. Dunno why 32 would be popular though?

    32 is 2^5 so if you like 2, 4, or 8, then it makes some sense. Though I don't know how many players would be familiar with that and maybe it's just cos it looks nice in some way.
