Number 9 shirt

[Andy Holloway]

If the AS Foundation, Adams' Family and ECFC are happy for the No 9 shirt to be used again then who are WE to challenge that decision?

Excellent news. I just hope we have a player worthy of wearing it

 

[Snakebite]

Jay Stansfield on loan?

Tom Nichols shock return to take the number 9 shirt?
It’s clearly going to be Seymour, just hope he gets game time to prove himself. Would be sad to have the number 9 return only to sit on the bench.

Good decision all round, and the statement is a nice touch to show the club have the family’s full support.

Yep, I'm in the Seymour camp.

It should have been offered to Jay Stanfield 12 months ago. I know it wouldn't have made a difference to him leaving, but it would have been a very nice gesture.

Because of what that shirt now means, it should on the back of one of our own. It doesn't belong anywhere else.

I think the opposite. Inappropriate to use Adam's memory in that way. I don't know the family though so maybe they would have appreciated it.

Agree with others that Ben Seymour will presumably be number 9 this year but I suppose it isn't impossible that Jay Stansfield might go out on loan this year...especially with Fulham having been promoted.

No one has mentioned Matt Jay. Also one of our own. Hard working and never stops running. Could be another option.

Good shout. MJ has handled well the burden of wearing the ( somewhat controversial) number 17 shirt. Definitely an option, would never let anyone down.

But on the occasion MT plays him he plays further back than a ‘number 9’.
