Sorry you are right. They have changed it since it was introduced. It was meant to step down from 22 to 21 this season but guess it stayed due to Covid.cafcfan1990 said:

Out of interest, which 6 of our current squad do you not want to play this season? Squad cap is in place.Exiled_Addick said:6 more needed in my opinion. I hope we can get that many without taking 4 loans additional to Famewo. I think we should try and keep one or two loan slots open for January - usually easier to get a loan than a permanent signing in January.
Matthews, Gunter
Purrington
Inniss, Famewo, Pearce
Watson, Dobson, Morgan, Gilbey, Clare, Dempsey
DJ, Kirk, Washington
Stockley, Schwartz, Davison, Ghandour
EDIT - Excluding JFC so happy to count it as 20.
We have 18 senior outfield players according to the EFL definition.
The 2021/22 limit is 20.
Either way we have 18, so now 4 squad spaces.2 -

Was thinking it could be Viv Soloman-Otabor & that our medical / coaching team are trying to get him up to fitness before we agree a contract with him.
Could be a useful addition based on what he produced at Wigan last yr.41 -
I don't think we should include JFC though. Even if he's back start of December madness to include him. Let him come back in the U23's ready for Jan.ISawLeaburnScore said:

agreed but people keep saying its stockey and 2 winger / come strikers so where does the goalscorer play? only when we play 442??CharltontillidieCOYR said:
Tbf mate I would say a goalscorer needs to be before that with the main resources we know we can defend its the goals that need to be brought in and aneke NEEDS replacing especially the goals !!DOUCHER said:
yep, pacey left back next on my list after the midfield general then its prem loans for cb, pacey striker/goalscorer and another wingerkillerandflash said:We definitely need a more attacking LB if we're going to play a 433 with the 2 winger cutting inside. You need to challenge their defence, so that they don't know whether to cover the winger of overlapping full back
I've a suspicion that Morgan, Clare and Dobson will be competing for 2 places, as we'll need a goal scoring midfielder to make the system work. That might be Gilbey, but I think we'll bring someone in0 -
Squad limit should be fine, assuming that a couple of loans will be U21.3

25 and I suppose is a fine League One Winger. Good back-up option on a free.
Plays on either flank and seems to chip in with the occasional goal and assist.3 -
Even if not, we should be fine. If we include the following:Addickhead86 said:Squad limit should be fine, assuming that a couple of loans will be U21.
Gunter, Matthews, Purrington, NEW LB
Inniss, Famewo, Pearce, NEW CB
Dobson, Watson, Clare, Morgan, Gilbey, NEW CM/CAM
DJ, Kirk, Washington, NEW WINGER
Stockley, Davison, Schwartz
That's 21 so still leaves us room for 1 and gives the right balance. We probably need another striker, but I can't imagine we'll have 4 plus Washington so you'd expect either Davison or Schwartz to depart. We'd still have room to include either JFC or Dempsey.0 -
Moved Viv Solomon-Otabor to "Active"Dazzler21 said:
One down potentially four to go?Dazzler21 said:Active rumours
- Kirk move is currently ON still.
- Henderson to come in as number 2
- Viv Solomon-Otabor training with us
- Jack Tucker a target
Secondary rumours (Old/No new info)
- Viv Solomon-Otabor failed medical - potentially still a target?2 -

With the restriction on squad numbers, Watson feels like a waste of a space5

Loving your positivity..have a like 👍CH4RLTON said:
Yep plus the fact Adkins is aiming for 26 clean sheets if we win say 20 of those and draw 6 we technically only 20 goals for 66 points , no doubt our defensive will be key and they stay fit I can’t see us not challengingCallumcafc said:
Stockley 15-20ValleyGary said:Still not sure that starting 11 has enough goals in it.
DJ & Kirk 15-20 between them
Gilbey 5-10
Morgan 5
Clare 5
Inniss & other defenders 5
Washington 10
That’s a 60-75 goals. The numbers add up quickly.

I agree with all this, Golfiegolfaddick said:Having watched the video of Kirk & having read what Crewe fans have said I'd say we need an attacking LB to overlap with Kirk & also a poacher to finish off the chances he creates. He puts a lot of balls across the 6 yard line & would be a shame to see them go to waste.
As for Morgan. I see him more as a playmaker as his passing is pretty decent....but he is not a finisher & I doubt he'd get more than a couple of goals a season. Not enough composure & not a natural striker if the ball.
All in all, another 3 or 4 players and we should be sorted.
Striker
Left back
Attacking midfielder

Must be keeping fit with us, getting some physio for his knee. Would sign him all day long.DOUCHER said:

I've been told we're going to sign Tobi Omole from Spurs on loan, 21 year old left footed cb originally from Lewisham, 6ft2 so i would guess cover for Akin as to not rely on Deji to play in the league at least
Source is from Spurs end, also didn't confirm when other than before the window shuts

My mates little brother used to play with him for Thamesmead. Don't believe they are still in touch. Used to play down the wing for them then started growing and got moved to CB I think.Marriott110 said:I've been told we're going to sign Tobi Omole from Spurs on loan, 21 year old left footed cb originally from Lewisham, 6ft2 so i would guess cover for Akin as to not rely on Deji to play in the league at least

Pearce is cover for Akin so bit of a weird one signing another left footed CB.10 -

This article has a lot about Omole. He’s from Brockley and went to school in Bexleyheath. Can play LCB, LB and CDM.

The difference with squad number restrictions, is that deadwood players aren't just a waste of a salary, they're actually preventing us signing someone elsecafcfan1990 said:

Famewo has played on the right I guess, although unless it's just a coincidence he hasn't played anywhere near as well there. I'd definitely be targeting a right footed CB but if a left footed one came up that was too good to turn down I'd understand.Jac_52 said:Marriott110 said:I've been told we're going to sign Tobi Omole from Spurs on loan, 21 year old left footed cb originally from Lewisham, 6ft2 so i would guess cover for Akin as to not rely on Deji to play in the league at least

Think there could be something in the Tobi Omole rumour.1

PFA have challenged the squad limit as they did the salary cap
And like the salary cap the smaller league one and two clubs, as EFL members, will probably drag their feet so that it's still in place when the window shuts.
That way the bigger clubs have less of an advantage.
It's 25 in the EPL.0 -
Doesn't the EPL one include goalkeepers though?Henry Irving said:PFA have challenged the squad limit as they did the salary cap
