I notice Mowatt is wearing the No 10 shirt today and the others do have their proper squad numbers on. That was Bahre's number last season, he must have been relegated
Is Bahre with the squad? Few ports I've seen today on Instagram and he seems to be training at a different gym
Mowatt said when he signed for us that 27 was his lucky number. So it's odd that he's moved numbers, if indeed he has.
I think I read where talks were going on regarding squad sizes in the E.F.L , I am not sure what the outcome was ,but a figure of 25 players was muted for the Champoinship , it might be that one or two players might be left out at the expense of the younger players coming through but It is only my guess work , nothing factual .
I think they don't have assigned numbers yet. Weren't these generic nameless shirts? They'll pick their final numbers before the first official game. So for this game they'll just have gone 1-11 for the starting 11.
Did they also have their names on the shirts or just the right numbers? If so it could still be they only brought enough generic shirts and it didn't go up to 27. Or maybe he does intend to switch numbers. We'll see.
