The Captain?

[Izzy1878]

Captain Birdseye for me. Saying that I've got a joke. Who does a fish call when his piano breaks? The piano tuna. That's me done for the night.

Not arsed mate you need leaders all over the pitch.

 

[Goat]

But we have The Captain you all demanded a few months ago.

Dont tell me people have changed their mind already.

Smith for me.

He'd fit right in at our club.

Month you mean!

Well I for one am staggered that changing the captain hasn’t immediately led to the change of fortunes some of you expected. Absolutely staggered.

The captaincy really doesn't matter that much. Players need to have the right attitude across the pitch, whether they are wearing an armband or not.

Was talking about this earlier. There’s no leadership on the pitch at all, which leads (no pun intended) to no responsibility. If you watch us each time we concede a goal, or someone plays a bad pass; they look to the other person or someone else on the pitch as if it’s their fault. It’s the same with set pieces, the zonal marking gives no ownership when we concede. Where if you’re man to man marking and your man scores, it’s due to you not defending him.

There are more problems than this of course, but it’s another in the long line of things wrong at the minute. The bad thing is, there is nobody in the squad who has the personality to be the leader we require.

The captain does matter...

He leads the team...
He represents the team & club on & off the pitch...
He speaks to the ref on behalf of the team...
He maintains momentum,praise,spirit,fight,resilience & focus on the pitch...
He represents the team after the match during interviews etc etc etc....
He would control & encourage the youngsters brought into the team...
He leads by example...

The captain is the heartbeat of the team & is very important in my minds eye...

I have to agree, point 4 more so.

I wish we had a non garbage version of Mark Noble, preferably with a less detestable face

 

[Strikinglyhandsome1]

My choice is one who can challenge the ref. It’s a massive part of the game we don’t influence.

We have a lot of followers, bottlers and shirkers.
