Town have announced the squad numbers for the season ahead. Jay Emmanuel-Thomas has been handed Connor Wickham’s old number nine, while new loan keeper David Stockdale will wear his lucky number 13 with no one taking Brian Murphy’s old number one shirt.

Michael Chopra will wear the number 10 with Jason Scotland moving to 14. Icelandic central defender Ívar Ingimarsson gets Gareth McAuley’s old number four and midfielder Lee Bowyer the number eight worn by former skipper David Norris last season.

New left-back Aaron Cresswell has been handed the number three with Shane O’Connor, who looks to be moving on to Crawley where he was recently on trial or elsewhere this summer, demoted to number 23.

Adrian_Paz_Uses_Daz added 18:03 - Jul 28 Surely shouldn't be hard to attract other players with the number 1 shirt not being taken???! Id join on that basis alone....

TractorCam added 18:13 - Jul 28 Was thinking Fulop would take number 1. Bit surprised that Chopra is 10 but ofcourse Bowyer takes the 8 ;) The weirdest one is Scotland being number 14. How very strange

Back_The_Boss added 18:21 - Jul 28 Surprised Chopra isn't number 9, oh well it doesnt really matter!

BasingstokeBlue added 18:33 - Jul 28 Peters in the RB shirt & Edwards retaining a MF number. Looks like the Edwards@RB experiment is over...
0

Mark added 18:42 - Jul 28 Rather a snub to Fulop making him 21 when the number 1 shirt is not taken, and adds fuel to the fire of speculation that he will be sold. These are generally as expected, although Peters at 2 is a surprise. I thought that would be reserved for a new right-back, who we surely need ASAP!

I_AM_GOD added 18:49 - Jul 28 Can an outfield player get number 1?

WickedBlue added 18:50 - Jul 28 Numbers mean bugger all...at the end of the day players have numbers they like or feel are lucky that they want to play in...I think too many people are reading too much into it....

are_these_the_days added 20:23 - Jul 28 Only complaint is that the ineffective Leadbitter is obviously still in favour.

Luggworm added 20:23 - Jul 28 Hmm No 5 or 6 spare for another senior centre back, bit worrying that.
0

robdaful added 20:36 - Jul 28 15 is avaliable for another midfielder 25, 26, 27 are avaliable for a couple of defenders. Maybe Leadbitter will leave and 6 will become CB.
