Town have announced their squad numbers for the season ahead with new signings Gwion Edwards, Jordan Roberts and Trevoh Chalobah handed numbers seven, 19 and six respectively.

Other than that, they are largely the same as last season, although Teddy Bishop will wear 15 rather than the seven given to Edwards with Tom Adeyemi switching to 24 as a result, while Tristan Nydam has moved up to 16 from 22.

Conor McKendry has been given 28 this season having been the club’s number 41 last year and keeper Harry Wright gets a number for the first time, 29.

Numbers two, five and 11 are currently free, Ellis Harrison having been handed 10 following the completion of his switch from Bristol Rovers.

Nazemariner added 16:50 - Jul 23 When you look at the squad as a whole you can really see how weak it is. Lots of potential, but not too many stand out players really.

MrTown added 16:57 - Jul 23 why is there no number 2, can't see us signing a new right back, unless it is given to another CB.

Cakeman added 17:00 - Jul 23 Quite interesting to see the squad slowly develop. Shouldn't read too much into the actual shirt numbers but there are plenty of gaps still to be filled. PH is certainly forming his own squad with additions from lower divisions which is not a problem for me. I seem to recall Norwich doing this very well a few years ago under the Lambert regime. Grant Holt who was always unpopular (polite) with us Town fans came from Shrewsbury and was seemingly drifting along as a journeyman. Much as it pains me to mention it but look how well he done. I have a feeling this season could be very much work in progress and we may struggle. Just need to be patient for a couple of years and I think we shall be fine. Even if we temporarily drop to div 1 and I hope we don't, it will not be the end of the world for the bigger picture.

BobbyBell added 17:01 - Jul 23 2, 5, 10 & 11 could be the shirts that PH still wants to fill. Let's hope so.

portman_blue added 17:02 - Jul 23 Help! I'm losing track. Can somebody tell me the positions (maybe nominal) that these guys fill?

Popeye added 17:05 - Jul 23 11 more signings and the squad is complete😂😂

iaintaylorx added 17:06 - Jul 23 Good to see a couple of defender's and forwards that will be potentially coming. Waggy as No9 too is great. Harrison to take 10 or 11 I am guessing, so one more forward which is exciting! Bradshaw would be brilliant considering his record in a poor Barnsley side. Would have been nice to see Josh Emmanuel given the number 2, so lets hope he makes that spot his own - likewise to Kenlock and that number 3 shirt!

supasmiler71 added 17:09 - Jul 23 I personally think we may surprise a few people this season. Lots of youth, bags of energy, experience where it counts, and a manager who seems to have a knack of getting more from the sum of the parts available to him. I for one am looking at this season with plenty of excitement.

JimmyP45 added 17:21 - Jul 23 Totally forgot about Barry Cotter. What a debut he had! Hope he is more involved this season.

jas0999 added 17:25 - Jul 23 Four new signings about right. Five if Waghorn goes.

TonyHumesIpswich added 21:24 - Jul 23 Hard to really read into squad numbers but if you were taking a stab in the dark Hurst is looking for: 2- a right-back 5- a Central Defender (Chelsea fans are saying Chalobah is much better in a holding midfield role) 11- a forward or winger 13- hope another striker. 22- an Argentinian superstar in the mold of Tarricco

Bluewelshman added 21:42 - Jul 23 Ellis at No.10

Skip73 added 00:03 - Jul 24 Is there any point handing out the 15 or 24 shirts? Its not like we will get any use out of them.

peaky69 added 00:15 - Jul 24 So Shane McLoughlin signed a contract???
0

Pilgrimblue added 10:33 - Jul 24 I agree its not the numbers that have been allocated but the ones that haven't! Clearly more signings expected and hope PH has on his wish list a loan or two like Connolly/ Fraser. Or perhaps he's happy with the youth and prefers signing his own rather than loans.
