Always consider 4 a number for a midfielder from back when we didn't use squad numbers.

I always viewed 4 as a defensive midfielder's number but I guess Robinson being from Liverpool and how he started his coaching at their academy he probably views 6 as that role. Don't ask me why but up in Liverpool's academy 6 is always given the defensive midfielder.

Andy Thomas, John Trewick. Les Phillips was also a '4' wasn't he? Mad Dog as well maybe?

Martin Gray was number 4 too. As was Derek Townsley.

Mackie is 19 isn't he?

A first team squad of 25(?) with Mackie and Browne with possibly more to come, that is a big squad.

Don't see any of these being first team regulars but U23s and cover. So I think we have 21 "first teamers"

I thought we'd retired the number 12 shirt a few years ago ??

Lopez was 54 tonight.

His shirt number, not his birthday thankfully!

 

[sideshowrob]

His birthday is in December so still another 18 months or so until he can wear the sponsor's logo.

2, 6, 9 & 10 all still vacant?

I wonder why McMahon, or Norman, doesn't have the number 2.

Superstitious? Not uncommon amongst footballers at all levels.

Mcmahon was 29 at Bradford...
I suspect the number 9 is being held for the new striker (smith?) Browne will probably take 10.

If he was 54 years old he would have started games last season (before getting broken obviously).

 

[Oufcad30]

I see Norman has changed to number 2

 

[beyondthefourth]

6 - Jamie Hanson
12 - Ricky Holmes
25 - Dai Wai-Tsun

A lot of new numbers to learn!

 

[dabigfella]

We seem to have two number 12s here. Norman and Holmes. Would guess Holmes is the low number

 

[Deleted member 222]

Norman is 2 now.

Norman is 2, Holmes is 12 (OWS first team page)
