    .....the only ones from our original first 11 squad numbers to play today.

    What does that tell you?

    firstly what does it tell you?

    what it tells me is that there is huge re-build taking place... experimentation, evolution is happening... personally I am prepared for a long haul... its gonna be glorious , its gonna be miserable, BUT long term I think we will get back to being a very capable Championship outfit. 3Seasons or more it might take... but I am convinced we are in good hands and are making the right moves.

    It tells me that Danny doesn't rest on his laurels and is willing to drop players if they don't perform and also we've got Injuries.

    Not much.

    Gone are the days of consecutive numbers for a first 11. Players have different numerical preferences, superstitions etc

    However, I'll bite. It tells me that players have had chances to stake a claim for a shirt and, for various reasons, been found wanting and been replaced

    Seems as though there are different reasons for each first team shirt.

    I reckon that there are quite a few Danny signings that will be found wanting. He lives or dies by these, eventually. Unless the young uns blossom.

    It's almost a back-to-the-drawing-board team today. Can't see any obvious "team" emerging. Yet.
