Fuctifano Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets a bit edgy when squad numbers don't match with how I want them. The only ones I'm happy to see switched is a centre half and central midfielder, whose numbers should be 4 and 6. It's unbelievably sad, I'm aware of this. Don't mind stuff like Pogba having 99, just if you've got a 1-11 shirt number don't f**k with the system. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagfox Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I'll pick up the new top tomorrow. Decent 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reid Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 the squad numbers have been updated on our wikipedia page, don't know if it is accurate but it did have Erskine as 10 before today. If so, Dumbuya wearing 5 and Lindsay 2 is going to wind me up an unreasonable amount. FFS. I'd only just calmed down from Seaborne 3 and Booth 5. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 William Gallas #10 still makes me rage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Am I the only one who quite likes players wearing the wrong numbers? I can't stand 87 or 99 or even 43, but a striker wearing 5 or a centre back wearing 11 is strangely entertaining. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griff Sheridan Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I'd like to see letters. Leicester Rugby Club used to wear letters up to the 90's sometime. That said, if your squad has more than 26 players you could be humped. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Ossie Ardiles wore the number one in the 78 world cup cause they numbered each player by alphabetical order. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griff Sheridan Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 For anyone ordering online, the new top is a wee bit smaller than last season's. That or I've become a fat b*****d. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 (edited) 10 minute interview with Archie on PTTV, trying to summarise important parts apart from the "great to be back, players look after themselves during the summer these days, players always keen to do ball work rather than just running etc etc": -Dumbuya out for 4/5 months minimum, could be longer, sometime that injury can be 12 months but initial signs are good. -the budget had been increased on top of the extended deals offered to Doolan, Cerny, Booth etc and we were in a stronger position than ever until... - the fixtures "issue" plus the Dumbuya injury happened on the same day, was a massive blow - Azeez has been signed to play up front, mentioned competition with Doolan and Pogba and that he brings "electrifying pace". - obviously looking for a couple of defenders, versatile players -contrary to what was in the media, the offers to Frans / Miller / Gallacher were good offers - everyone who had operations in the summer has come through them OK and might not play first couple of friendlies but should be right for start of season...but Elliott has had to get his tonsils out as well. -spoke to Arthur when we got promoted but we were looking for a player-coach at that time hence Gallacher. Arthur is working with all the keepers bar Cerny. - Bannigan is training with us, his injury is worse than he thought towards the end of the season. He has a couple of offers on the table elsewhere but he doesn't feel they're right, we'll monitor his injury as we're not too sure about recovery time- if he wants to come back and we feel he's fit we'll sign him. Archie didn't sound desperate to get him back tho, sounds as if his injury means he'll be out for a while yet.

Think the fixtures "issue" (that's what I'm calling it anyway) might have had an impact on our willingness to take a punt on his fitness. Archie also said we're only looking for one more middle to front, which I think will be another wide player. Osman is obviously a nailed on starter and I think the other centre mid position will just be between Welsh / Fraser / Wilson. But yeah, from Banzo's POV it is a shame, I've no doubt he'd have got himself a reasonable move down south if he had stayed fit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archie guevara Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I've not seen anything earth shattering in Wilson so far, but he put in a good performance against Accies in the last game. We had to keep playing Amoo last season until he eventually reached an acceptable level, but it's one thing keeping going with a misfiring attacking option and quite another sticking with a stuttering central mid (no Welsh digs here - he's not as bad as we make out and never hides). I still think the jury's out on the boy. I trust Archie... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slacker Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 (edited) Wilson should've been out on loan at some point in the last two seasons. Edited June 24, 2016 by Slacker 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
