bighusref Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I like squad numbers. I always find it interesting who is given a 1-11 spot. No surprises Gomis and Ozturk are given key numbers. I think, particularly in the UK, it's a rough idea to a favoured team. Over our time using them, few regulars have retained 12+ as a preference. Skacel and Zaliukas jump out. Is Carrick a fan of 18, is it that Robbie has him behind others or is it all just numbers. I can't wait to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyRightPeg Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Children can now get the correct number of their favourite player on their shirts.. Correct, so incidents like this don't occur. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-suffolk-28416351 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bighusref Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Alexander Paterson, Ozturk, Wilson, McHattieRobinson, Gomis, HoltWalker, El Hassnaoui, Nicholson With the noted exception of Sow (I'd suggest he came to prominence due to Soufian's injury) and any suspension, I'd say that was Robbie's INITIAL first team. Pre season form or lack thereof may have changed that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamboX2 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Still reckon the opening games will see Bauben and Gomis in the middle with another of Holt or Robinson. Maybe this for Rangers: Alexander Paterson Ozturk Wilson McHattie Bauben Gomis Holt Nicholson Sow Walker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Carrick a fan of 18, is it that Robbie has him behind others or is it all just numbers. I can't wait to find out. I used to think that aswell. That 1-11 meant you were in the favoured team and a youngster progressed from his inital number to the 1-11.. i.e Patterson.33>12>2 But now a lot of players.. esepically the ones from abroad pick there favourite number or in the case of Celtic.. given a number to sell jerseys.. Hooper 88 or Wanyama 67 Didnt Nicholas Bentdnar so something similar when he moved from 26 to 52.. Although cant beleive many folk bought tops with his name on it.

Those were kinda what I was getting at with Zaliukas. They clearly weren't 88th in the squad or indeed 67th, those were anomalies. However I can't think of a right back being give the number nine. It's rarely other than a striker. A one is almost always. Goalkeeper, two and three are generally defenders. Continental players (bit of a generalisation but not that wild when you look at Spanish/Italian squad numbers) tend to be less rigidly stuck to 1-11.

Peebo Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Mr Parker, from Mendlesham Green, Suffolk, tweeted a photograph of his shirt. He said: "It was my decision to put 'Mings 15' on my shirt before waiting for the club to announce squad numbers so it was very generous of him to offer to replace my shirt if he did change his number." A nice gesture by the player, even to this guy who most folk would say "it's his own fault". I had a similar thing happen when a player switched number one season after I'd got a strip with his name and number on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess work based on the numbers. I should add, I've not seen a single second of pre season, first time I will se Robbie line the guys up is Ibrox. What I will say is I'll be surprised if he plays a standard 4-4-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gashauskis9 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Other than for selling printed shirts, I would have scrapped squad numbers this season. I genuinely believe there's something psychological about wearing the 1-11 shirt and I think it would make for good competition for places. E.g if a player is playing the number 10 role he is more than likely to wear number 10 (rather than warm the bench while number 27 or whoever plays). Just my opinion, I'm a bit OCD with this stuff :-). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that but think if we were going to play three in midfield at Ibrox he would have tried it out at some point, probably against Man City. I don't think RN fears Rangers enough to think he needs to flood the midfield against them. We seem to developing a system and style of play and he obviously feels Rangers don't warrant a change to that. Time will tell though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
