Squad Number Lottery

[Tnewton_1988]

Won't happen. we haven't given out a number 13 jersey in some years I believe. Probably because Terry is deeply superstitious...

Mark Crossley was the last number 13 when Beasant was number 1.

 

[Tnewton_1988]

If Cohen is going to be first choice left back, he may get number 3. Bit stupid him having 8 and playing there

Milan Baros had 5 when he was on scouse land and he's a striker.

Not many clues on tonights team sheet

Most have last seasons number, including Cox 19 but Lansbury has the number 10 shirt again and Blackstock 20.

 

[Gingers Across the Midfield]

Blackstock 20 is interesting

 

[Harrison]

I take it Abdoun won't be allowed to continue wearing his number 93 shirt. FL rules won't let him.

 

[Strummer]

Djamel wore #22 for Algeria.

That's free, if Henri is to move to #10 as rumoured.

 

[john player]

For me the only important squad number is 1. No other shirt number means anything any more!

It would be awesome if he was.

@Jimbo519242 Evening Jim, any idea when squad numbers will be announced?

James ‏@Jimbo519242
@trickytrees12 they are getting sent to the league tomorrow

 

[SouthLeicsRed]

We must be the last club to publish the squad numbers - c'mon Forest get a move on!!

De Vries said that he would be 29 when I asked him at Ilkeston.

Seriously when are the club going to announce these, we kick off tomorrow! Ate they waiting for a new signing before they announce, have they forgotten, are they playing mind games? I want to know!

I think this is down to not having enough people in the City Ground to do all of these jobs, Billy or Fawaz have not yet had the time to get the pressure hose out on the Trent End and you want squad numbers..?

 

[valspoodle]

The programmes will have been printed. Buy one tomorrow and find out. New marketing strategy for programme sellers.

 

[incapable hulk]

Am I the only one who doesnt care if the club announces the squad numbers or not? Its hardly a big deal

Am i being blind or is Abdoun not on the list?

 

[Hermz]

Good point, where's Abdoun? Hopefully it's just human error

 

[Gingers Across the Midfield]

Abdoun obviously being shown the door

 

[congo_red_49]

Am i being blind or is Abdoun not on the list?

He's waiting for special clearance from the FA to wear his lucky 93. #ITK.

And if they say "no"...

 

[thehockleyhustler]

Am i being blind or is Abdoun not on the list?

I hope it just a mistake. Surely he hasn't got homesick already?!

 

[Lukeyshep]

Apparently he's going to be 39

WOAH :leacock:

 

[Hermz]

Apparently he's going to be 39

Which is the reverse of 93 :think: There could be something in this...

 

[Strummer]

Glad to see Simon Cox getting his preferred #31 - there's one in your eye, FA!

 

[TheDudeII]

Thought Cohen might have changed if he's going to be at LB.
