YES WEBSTER IS NUMBER 6 11:15 - Jul 24 with 3188 views | chicoazul | Which as we all know is a centre halves number AND NOT a midfielder or full back number. Still a bit gutted on that basis to see Chambers has 4 but i'll tolerate it for now. And 9 is still free! | |

YES WEBSTER IS NUMBER 6 on 11:16 - Jul 24 with 2618 views | Kieran_Knows | As like many of our squad, I think Chambers preference is 4, as he has worn at previous clubs. But agree though, that is a central midfielders number! | |

I always saw 4 and 5 as central defence, and 6 and 8 as central mid in a 442. Obv depends on formation etc. | |

YES WEBSTER IS NUMBER 6 on 11:19 - Jul 24 with 2580 views | J2BLUE | When our #1 keeper is given the number 33 it really does show how meaningless the squad numbers are. I never understand people waiting for them. | |

Bart supposedly likes 33 because it looks like 'BB'. I know, I know, I dont get it either. | |

5 & 6 for central defenders for me, with 4 & 8 as the centre midfielders. 2 right back, 3 left back, 11 and 7 for wingers and 9/10 for strikers. That's how I've always viewed it anyway! | |

6 is a centre halves number. Baresei, Butcher, Bobby Moore, David Linighan. All the greats wore 6. EDIT: and of course I have overlooked your egregious statement of 4 as a defender number. No way is 4 a defender. 4 is a centre midfielder or at a pinch maybe a wide player. This is the law. [Post edited 24 Jul 2017 11:25]

I agree with the rest, just not 4 and 6. But I dont really remember watching much footy before squad numbers. ...my view is probably based on teams I have played for.... which probably isnt a very good reference point!! You're probably right. | |

Very opposing views on the meaning of numbers 4 and 6 within a team then.. which I didn't realise was a thing. I have always thought that Centre Backs should wear 4 & 5 and then central midfield have 6 & 8 Maybe it depends on how your manager in whichever youth team you played for organised it, I know I like the idea of numbers I - 5 being kept within the back 4 and keeper | | | |

2 is the right back and 3 is the left back. Those are cast iron. 5 and 6 are definitively CB numbers although in a pinch 5 can sometimes be a CM. 4 is not a CB but it can be but it must not be anything else. 4 is also acceptable for your Mick Stockwell 'play anywhere' type. 8 is a CM. 7, 10 and 11 are versatile attacking numbers which I accept are utilitarian. 7 can be a wide player, forward, 9 or 10 and sometimes a CM. 11 definitely cant be a CM or a 9 but it can be a 10. 10 is a 10 or a 7 or 11 but not a 9 as that doesnt work. Don't get all Gary Lineker on me, 10 is not your point of the sword. 9 is only a CF. Fact. Clear? | |

The only point of 'dispute' was 4 and 6. | |

That's a good one. I've seen someone try to claim that Bru not being given a squad number but playing on Saturday is poor from the club and is a valid stick to beat them with. [Post edited 24 Jul 2017 11:40]

Agreed, that was my view. But I do think the opposing view is probably more commonly held. | |

I'm not criticising the numbers. Just pointing out they are meaningless for guessing the team. | |
