Town are required to submit their squad for the first half of the 2021/22 season later today.

According to the EFL’s regulations, League One clubs have to supply their squads for the first half of the season 24 hours after the closure of the transfer window before they are officially published in a week’s time.

League One sides are restricted to squads of 22 outfield players aged 21 and over on January 1st this year.

The additions of Bersant Celina and Samy Morsy yesterday took the total of players fitting into that bracket to 24.

That figure includes out-of-favour left-back Myles Kenlock, who seems certain to be left out, assuming no one else suffers an injury prior to the submission.

Kenlock, 24, is the last remaining member of the ‘bomb squad’ still training with the U23s.

Striker Ben Morris, 22, who is in the early stages of his comeback from his second ACL injury, will also be left out and won't be able to feature for the first team. It's expected that if all goes to plan, the frontman will be loaned out in January.

There is no restriction on goalkeepers whatever their age, while all players under-21 - which includes Rekeem Harper, Louie Barry, Idris El Mizouni and Bailey Clements - will be entitled to play.

Bazza8564 added 13:07 - Sep 1 Strong squad ! Struggling with the fact that this post has been up 30 minutes now and no-one has moaned. Perhaps the final day signings have finally shut a few up. COYB

Dissboyitfc added 13:17 - Sep 1 Is Ed Shearon under 21 as well? Great squad on paper, should be great on grass as well!

Saxonblue74 added 13:23 - Sep 1 Superb. Just a thought, can we still sign free agents? I know he's now an ex budgie but Klose would do a job in lge 1!

JewellintheTown added 13:29 - Sep 1 @Help Lol - good shout, but you missed off Marcus Evans, all previous managers, Clegg, previous players especially Skuse and Chambers, players played out of position and team gelling.

positivity added 13:42 - Sep 1 so i assume el miz now counts as u-21 (but not morris)?

ElderGrizzly added 13:44 - Sep 1 Plus this little extra rule too: "Clubs are also required to name at least one ‘club-developed player' on their squad list or in a matchday 18"

PhilTWTD added 13:47 - Sep 1 Poultman Had to rush into a meeting. Harper is under-21 under the rules. Have added something to that effect. Barry, El Mizouni and Clements as well.

Bazza8564 added 13:55 - Sep 1 @Help, thanks for restoring the balance :) Just reading your moan moan moan sequence reminded me of the Spam song and sketch from Monty Python. Perhaps we should adapt it?

ringwoodblue added 14:46 - Sep 1 I could moan about how few players we have in the 22 that have come through our academy but I'm not going to. Hopefully in years to come this will be addressed.

Bert added 16:50 - Sep 1 Just to say well done to Phil and TWTD for all the early alerts this season that have come to pass. We really are kept informed very, very well.

markchips added 17:27 - Sep 1 Can we therefore safely assume that after tomorrow Kenlock's contract will be settled or is he being sent to either Turkey or Russia on loan ?

London_Blue added 18:29 - Sep 1 Some goalkeepers might be good! 😁

London_Blue added 18:31 - Sep 1 Ahem, ignore me too 😂

Orraman added 11:04 - Sep 2 Feel for Myles Kenlock. He had a few dodgy moments but never let us down. He is probably not as good as Coulson or Penney but I am surprised some Lge 2 club did not come in for him
