So no squad number for Alzate, Ahannach, Connolly, Sanders or Richards. I guess all going out on loan to either league 1 or Europe in the next few weeks, can't imagine all are staying for the under 23s.

They don’t need a number do they ? Only the 25 have to have them.

They actually do need a number - and we no doubt have to register it with the PL/FA.

But the club don't really have to let us know it just yet.

I expect all those mentioned will have numbers between 35 and 40.


Interesting that Băluţă is seemingly officially part of the senior squad, and the others are not - but he is a sort-after player across Europe - it is probably wise man management. It doesn't mean the others won't be involved or get chances.

Whilst it is no guarantee that players would be given a squad number that matches their training kit number, the following U-23s have been wearing these numbers in training:-

39. Ahannach
41. Sanders
43. Cox
44. Connolly
46. Alzate
47. Dreyer

Good info.

Whilst I appreciate the club site has probable numerous glitches - the photo of Alzate in the U23 section ( current kit ) has a number 31 assigned to it - which is free in that squad list published today.

It would be good if the club could get all the pictures numbered correctly and resolve any inconsistencies - Bissouma, Băluţă listed under both senior squad and U23 squad etc. etc. - when the website junior gets a chance.

The website U-23 and U-18 team pages are currently showing the centralised Premier League data. If you click on this link for the Albion U-23 fixture against Wolves next Monday, and then click the "Squads" tab, you will see that Albion's page is merely pulling that info in.

I would hope and expect that sooner rather than later the Albion pages will be customised to show the proper, accurate, relevant U-23 and U-18 squads.

I see - that makes sense. Hope they sort it out soon.

Connolly, Alzate, Băluţă in the first team squad photo.

League 1 / overseas loan out for Sanders and Ahannach ? ???

No Hemed in the photo. Also seems a bit strange to me that Bruno and Ben Roberts are on the end of the bottom row, rather than sat with the coaching staff.

So the idiotic Stephens haters will now be pinning their hopes on Baluta saving them from the misery of solid defensive work and the occasional assist.

Connolly must be even more special than many of us hope. :ohmy:

Is Aaron Mooy a HGP? I know he had a couple of years at Bolton from 19, but would he have been there for the requisite 3 years before his 21st birthday??
