Captain my Captain

Great idea this, things are going well and the team spirit looks incredible so let's rock the boat by stripping the captaincy off Tarkowski and create potential divisions and morale issues with the team spirit

Perhaps the timing is wrong, but I think it’s worth a discussion. I like him as a player, he’s just a bit gaff prone

Dwight McNeil.

An arm band does not make a captain

Captain is as captain does.

Teams of winners and winning teams usually have 2,3, sometimes 4,

Captain is as Captain does.

The best player is sometimes not the best Captain - see Alan Ball

I believe Tarko’s leadership and mentality is not strong enough for his role

 

[tommye]

He's currently serving a ban for twatting...

He may not be the only one

 

[Swartzy]

Tarkowski is a boss captain, all fight and winning mentality

He hasn’t looked quite as good footballing-wise this season because he’s had Keane next to him instead of Branthwaite who is top class. It’s no coincidence his best game this season was the one with O’Brien next to him with pace to cover. Keane has done well but it’s a lot easier having an all action pacey centre back next to you!


Future captain material players are definitely KDH and maybe Garner, O’Brien and Branthwaite though those three are a little quiet at the moment but I think they’ve got the right stuff.

O'Brien isn't captain material.

tarkowski is the first captain we've had in years, maybe in my time watching the blues (2000 onwards) that acually stands up for the players, gets in the refs ear

no need to take it off him

when he gets phased out if branthwaite is still here then he's the captain for me, though it will probably be pickford

 

[Twinkletoes123]

Captaincy was made for Tarks. He’s immense

 

[Groucho]

you're wrong.

Watch him during a game, he is immense, always in the refs ear, sticking up for his players, winding up the oppos, dishing out some 'good news'

Spot on. I’d give it him permanently now.

We've got our leader

Captain Birdseye

Captain Birdseye

Have you accidently doubled your morning tablets again

Have you accidently doubled your morning tablets again

No that's what I sometimes got called when as captain of my snooker team when we got beat & the team lost

 

[PeterGet]

Just restarting this. Still feel Tarko isn’t the best captain, almost gifted Chelsea a penalty..

I wouldn’t sell him, just would prefer Garner or another. He’s too reckless

 

[SJB]

Yeah bin him off, we don't wanna be seeing us play like that and smash teams off the park every week.

He’s great in the side, I wouldn’t drop him. Just don’t think he’s disciplined enough to be captain. I’m 100% happy with the team, apart from the obvious issues.. RB & Striker.
