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 :Blink:
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
 

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

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
