Squad Numbers- Just Announced 1 Simon EASTWOOD (GK) 2 Christian RIBEIRO 3 Dwight TIENDALLI 4 Mike WILLIAMSON 5 Curtis NELSON 6 Aaron MARTIN 7 Rob HALL 8 Ryan LEDSON 9 Wes THOMAS 10 Jack PAYNE 11 Marvin JOHNSON 13 Scott SHEARER (GK) 14 Josh RUFFELS 15 Kane HEMMINGS 17 James HENRY 18 Joe ROTHWELL 19 Xemi FERNANDEZ 20 Jon OBIKA 22 Sam LONG 24 Josh ASHBY 25 Charlie RAGLAN 26 Fiacre KELLEHER 31 James ROBERTS 34 Jack STEVENS (GK) 35 Canice CARROLL 36 Malachi NAPA 37 Shandon BAPTISTE 40 Manny AGBOOLA (GK) Interesting to see no player taking up the number 12 shirt despite a few doing so in pre-season. Does anyone know the club's position on that number, is it still retired? From memory Baldock had it during his first loan spell with the club and recently it was dedicated to Steve Dyer. Wondering if the number is still officially retired for the '12th Man', something that I think was always a little twee.

Tiendalli is a right back. We still need a left back. Desperately hoping we get someone soon. I actually feel like a left back would make all my troubles go away. Is he tho? Nice to see he's taken the LB number 3!

But do you think Ladrero is a bit out of his depth Yeah i do, maybe if we were to sign him he'd be someone for the future. Used in the youth team and loaned out. He would probably be someone for Andy Whing to help develop.

But left back is started mg to worry me a bit, talk of a 20yr old possibly on loan from Brentford but a Brentford fan is saying he's a bit inconsistent ok they maybe just saying that. We definitely need experience for that role and a quality striker then I would happy

Wondering if the number is still officially retired for the '12th Man', something that I think was always a little twee. Yeah I clocked that too. George used it, but not assigned last season. No mention of reinstating the 12th Man though, so I'm presuming it's being kept for another signing coming through the door before the window closes. Gaps at 16, 21 and 23 (as well as more of the higher, less favoured squad numbers), so you never know.

Generally loanees like this aren't experienced, that is the nature of the beast but you get the chance, in theory, to sign a better quality of player. All transfers are a risk and that is the nature of this type of signing.

We definitely need experience for that role and a quality striker then I would happy I do agree this Tom Field is said to be inconsistent by a couple of Brentford fans i have spoke to, but personally i think he'll be solid at league 1 level. The jump from the championship to League 1 is quite big so i think he would just do fine for us. My one concern about this would be he's 20 and only played 16 professional football games. That's the equivalent of just over a third of the season. So that makes me ask could he last 46 games? The only other thing that makes me question this is Brentford only have one other natural LB in there team Rico Henry. If he get's injured or is playing awful and Field is dealing with League 1 at ease then Brentford have the right to call him back in January. Which would leave us without a left back. One other thing that annoys me is about our transfer market so far this summer is no fees have been spent. DE in April/May time went on boasting about our budget. "top 6 budget" "we want to be a championship club" . DE needs to show us the money get us a permanent left back, get us a Championship quality striker if that's where you aspire to be, because GOALS win games and if we start relying on the loan market we're not guaranteed to have them past January. IF we want championship football we need Championship quality, which you have to spend to get (may not have been the case if we were quicker into the market)

We definitely need experience for that role and a quality striker then I would happy He sounds a very good player to me. 16 games in a team who did pretty well in the Championship? I would say that he has more experience than Kenny for example. We have decent cover at left back. Carroll can play there and when I have seen him play there he has been pretty decent. Johnson/ Ruffells can play there as can Tiendalli.

Let's face it most teams would be thinking of promotion at start of season and more realistically 2nd half of season e.g. Barnsley so that means nothing right now when we know that play offs would be progress and auto..a dream ending

Jon joe kenny didn't turn out to bad I can still remember when he came on to replace Baldock and looked like he was still at school. He looked that young

Don't know I would have thought that maybe the recruitment team would have put the scouts out to look for an experienced LB, as Marked Ox said it's the nature of the beast and let's not forget Dan Crowley and his miserable spell. It's a position that needs a steady head as we want to push for promotion. The last LB on loan who was reasonable was kinnigburgh and let's not forget Josh Ruffles has played there many a time. But if the young lad from Brentford comes in as does ok fare enough.

He was a poor man's Midson and you know it. Mmmm. Have you stopped taking your medication? Midson scored a hat trick against Torquay mate he's a legend don't see Maguire doing anything that special

So Ruffles won't be playing at left back, we must be able to afford an actual left back though?
