Our three new players including Tony Watt have all been given new squad numbers ahead of the game against Millwall on Saturday at The Valley.

Tony Watt since returning from his disappointing loan at Hearts has changed from his original number 32 to the number 7 shirt which was worn by Ademola Lookman before he made the reported £10m move to the premier league club Everton.

Nathan Byrne who has joined us on a loan until July will be taking on number 21, that number was previously occupied by former left-back Morgan Fox but he left for Sheffield Wednesday for an undisclosed fee, the defender was not a popular player amongst supporters so no surprise why he left in the first place.

Another new player Lewis Page who will be Morgan Fox`s replacement at left-back will don the number 2 shirt which was worn by experienced right-back Kevin Foley who was released and then snapped up by our former manager Russell Slade over at Coventry City.

Jack Forster-Caskey who has joined us on a permenant deal from Brighton and Hove Albion takes on the number 19 shirt which did not have anyone occupying it, the 22-year-old was previously on loan at Rotherham but due to the struggle in game time he was recalled and then sold to us for an undisclosed fee.

18-year-old Chelsea loanee Jay Dasailva has taken on the number 36 for his time at The Valley this season and the young full-back joins us with high regard from his superiors, he also featured on the bench for the 4-1 win against Bristol Rovers at home.
