Does Dibley-Dias count towards squad numbers or is he exempt?

Not at all, can’t remember his last good game

Edited to retract my remark. He will be included in the squad number as if the rule follows last years, then anyone who was born on or after 1st January 2005 is not included in the numbers. (I counted the wrong way eg 2003 instead of 2005 🙈)

All loans do regardless of age I think

Not a player, but a fixture time transfer rumour. Bristol Rovers @ home on the 16th moved to 12:30 for Sky.

I'd seen a Bristol rovers fan mention this earlier but it wasn't in reference to this list. He said he knew someone at sky I think it was who told him. I'm away for this one so it actually suits me for a change

He's under the age limit so no he won't count towards the squad numbers.

What’s the date of birth limit this season? I see Wiki has his dob as 29 October 2003.

None of Metcalfe, Araujo, Tanton or Olakigbe counted last year so why should it be any different this time round?

Apologies, it seems it’s just the championship where loans count regardless of age.

Only a Google search for last season says:

For the 2024/25 EFL season, a player is considered under-21 if their birthdate is on or after January 1, 2004.
Example:
If a player was born on December 31, 2003, they would be included in the 22- man squad, while a player born on January 1, 2004, would not.

Which seems to say he was to be included last season never mind this.

All born after 1 January 2004.

Loves a spectacular strike!

That’s not our way, we’ll need to train that out of him and getting him going backwards and sides for 90 minutes

Hahahahahaha!! Right good one!!!!

It’s so funny because it’s true! We never shoot from distance. Colclough, Dobra, Berry, Banks, Oldaker, King.. NONE of them shot from distance in the last few years under cook!

Sideways and backwards!! So good.

Not quite true, banks and berry had a few goes, banks very powerful shot on him usually hit the top row of the stand from distance, berry a bit better, nearly scored a belter at Morecambe

I was looking yesterday at getting some tickets for the leger at Donny races on the Saturday until I saw it was MK at home that day (13/9).

As it may be deemed the clash of the 2 favourites, especially if we both get off to a good start, I’d say there’s a good chance it will get moved.

But could still be a Saturday if it does so not worth the gamble (if you’ll pardon the pun as Moses Beacon on come fly with me would say)

I think it might have been a sarcastic reply to S&D
