Hopefully soon... Beales opinion on which positions get the right numbers, especially 4, 5 & 6 - is a big test for me. It's on a knife edge. | |

we kick off on Saturday aren't the numbers supposed to be announced before the 1st game. They normally leave a few open for late signings before the transfer window shuts. | | | |

If he hasn't retired Dom Ball's shirt, then the fcuker can go on the Sex Offenders Register. | |

Do squad numbers actually mean anything any more? There was a time when 1-11 were your first choice players , but that day is long gone. Last season Kakay was given number 2 by MW to make a statement re Kane, but he rarely played, or at least started. I don't think - apart from a few 'superstitious or 'iconic' numbers -the players are that fussed either. | | | |

I wonder if we’ll ever see a QPR starting XI (or any team for that matter) take to the field in shirts numbered one to 11?
Back in the 4-4-2 days, you pretty much knew where you were when the team was read out and you’d worked out if the midfield player was wearing 4 or 6. Nowadays it’s like the lottery numbers being read out. | |

And people were literally getting their knickers in a twist during the friendlies that Dieng wasn't 1. | | | |

There was an Ebbsfleet player who asked for the No.5 shirt as his surname was Mambo. | | | |

Quote from the offy
Beale said: "I am happy with how the squad is shaping up with the new season just days away.
"There are a number of young players who have trained with the senior squad since I came to the club and they will be issued with squad numbers as and when they are needed."
Guess Armstrong will fit into this category | |

Squad numbers don't necessarily indicate whose in or out for the season. Mahoney is supposed to be loaned out but he's got a number. We will know more when the transfer window closes. | | | |

Joe Walsh with 32 seems a bit random. I can't tell you why. | |

Seems like, having taken a close look at them, MB doesn’t intend to use them any more than MW did. Good job his contract isn’t up for renewal!! | |

There's also the angle that they'll make a deal of giving the younger players a squad number when they've earned it - a sort of graduation if you like. | | | |

This is a list of the young players who've trained with the squad and have had sme game time too:
Murphy Mahony
Charlie Owens
Sinclair Armstrong
Joe Gubbins
Aaron Drewe
Faysal Bettache
Stephen Duke-McKenna
Arkell Jude Boyd
Joseph Ajose
Rafferty Pedder
Of those, only Owens, Bettache and Duke-McKenna would take up a squad place - maximum of 25 players. All the others are under the age of 21 at the start of the season and would not be counted. I expect this will have a bearing on decisions.
Mahony and Owens have been given squad numbers. Mahony is due to be loaned out. Owens is a strange one as he's done little to suggest he'll be used this season. However, he was also counted in the squad last season and his contract was extended to 2023.
With more expected incoming and outgoing, the squad will change between now and the end of the transfer window. | | | |

So what’s the difference between this year and last? | |
| |

Not much yet, but we have to allow Beale to have a good look at the young players before making decisions. We won't really know what he is doing until the transfer window closes. The January window may also see him making decisions on young players. | | | |

Good info, helps make sense of it. Thanks. | |

That the younger players are training with the first team players? I admit that the new facilities make this easier to implement.
There are three players without squad numbers that Beale has said will be with the first team until the end of August as a minimum. Perhaps being one club is the major difference? | | | |

Giving a squad number to Mahoney after he has been loaned out for the season and to Owens who is unlikely to figure unless in the EFL cup or in case of an emergency in midfield makes little sense to me.
There are a few numbers like 12, 19 and 21 that are missing which hopefully means maybe 2 or 3 new signings will take them. [Post edited 27 Jul 2022 11:40]

That’s the maximum squad size no matter how many gaps in the numbers. I imagine some have been included to cover the 8 home grown players rule. As I understand it only players under 21 not named in the 25 will be able to play | | | |
