Are all squad positions occupied now or is there any wriggle room? It doesn't really matter how many we sign because we can choose who to register It's a registration limit rather than a signing limit Quote

End of the transfer window is when the squad is set IIRC players under 22 and keepers dont count towards the squad limit Quote

Wanderlust Posted July 27, 2023 Posted July 27, 2023 Cheers chaps. One more question... When Ashworth turns 21 in two months' time, will he then have to be registered? Quote

No, I believe even 21 year olds donโt have to be registered itโs only once they turn 22 that they need to be. if Ashworth was turning 22 after the transfer window closed then we would have to register him in January but it wouldnโt affect the squad registration until then. As long as they are 21 or younger before the registration window closes, then they are free to play without being registered ย (I think) Quote

We scored 15 by players whoโve left, mainly the 11 from Bradley, Lee and Dapo. We got 20 from none strikers still here (Dempsey, Morley, Santos, Toal, Jones, Williams) so thereโs no reason they wonโt at least match that. We benefitted from a lot of pens last season, no guarantee thatโs repeated so Charles may need to get more than 10 from open play. And Iโm JDBs biggest fan but heโd have to be starting 30+ games to get 15, and if heโs starting with Charles the likes of Vic and Dan wonโt have enough games for double figures, Iโm thinking 10 for JDB and 12 shared between the other 3 strikers. Gomez is the unknown, 10 from midfield would be massive. Quote

Regarding having to go off the pitch for treatment and wait at least 30 seconds to come back on, OK I get where they're coming from, but the likes of Bradley get kicked for being skilfull, a clogger takes him out and he has to not only go off for treatment, but the opposition get to play against 10 men for potentially at least a couple of minutes.ย We'll be screaming at the ref waiting for our wronged player to come back on while we defend a corner.
