[Durham Fox]

Good god, when you look at that squad, we don't have much cover outside of the first 11

 

[Yorkshire Vixen]

so its worth making a song and dance about it

GOOD GOD MAN!!!! You don't know!

 

[fcukcov]

worrying lack of new youngsters from the youth team

 

[Steven]

Good god, when you look at that squad, we don't have much cover outside of the first 11

A couple of strikers, a left back and a centre half and we have the makings of an automatic promotion side.

Or no one wanted those numbers!

God i'm so Cynical

 

[MKFox]

They are giving Durham's arse 2 squad numbers this year...

 

[Graz]

Wow, that's pretty unusual... Pretty much the whole squad have changed numbers, doesn't usually happen. I suppose it makes sense this year, seeing as most of the 1-11 had left, or don't play. Thought Hughes would take 8 though, with Connolly being 10. Weird changing Tiatto to 11, he doesn't seem like an 11. Does Jordan moving to 23 show that he isn't in the first team plans?

Some of the changes I don't see the point of.. Why move Stearman from 17 to 19? Feel sorry for those who got numbers printed on the new home shirt already


Just looking, and I could be wrong, but is Dion the only player with the same number as last season?

 

[beaumontfox]

but who in their right mind would get a squad number on their new shirts BEFORE the squad list was released??

just asking for trouble that is!

 

[Dickovforengland!]

23 is synonymous with the name Jordan.

 

[Talking Balls]

Weird changing Tiatto to 11, he doesn't seem like an 11.

?

11 is the traditional number for someone who plays on the left of midfield / left wing, so it's the most obvious number for him to have.

even though he's shocking on the "wing" and should never play there

 

[Graz]

Yeah, I think that's why he doesn't seem like an 11, he doesn't seem like a proper winger.
