Dimmu Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Seems to be that our squad are getting full of the captain material. Should help us especially if things are not going well. Maybe these players and their mindset is one of the reasons we haven't had slump recently? Grant is the one I'm not sure about. Has he ever been one? At least he is quite commanding. Barker is of course out but Keogh and Bucko is/has been captains. Eustace and Bryson has been in their old clubs. Martin is a captain in making, already leads the line perfectly and very convincing in interviews. Thorne looked similar. If Warnock joins, there's one more. My point is, I'm missing days of Paul Connolly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I find it strange when fans talk about which players make good captains, what we see on the pitch is only part of the captains job. We have no idea what players are like off the pitch, Chris Martin could be as quiet as they come, keeps himself to himself. Also when things are not going his way Martin looks...well abit mardy, do you want to see your captain sulking with his head down grumbling? Nothing against Martin, just used him to make my point, I'd have his babies if he'd let me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dimmu Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 That's why I said captain in the making. When he has matured enough, he could do what Beckham did after he was given captaincy. Raised his game, worked a lot more to the team and became much better player overall. Responsibility doesn't always fit to the players, but later in his career, I'm sure Martin could carry it well. Not no tho, and those reasons are obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroyDyer Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I think Grant and Bucko are commanding at the back. Christie and Forsyth are silent, and for a captain, Keogh doesn't seem to do a lot on the pitch. I think Warnock will add another voice at the back which is important.

May Contain Nuts Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Paul Jewell had a thing about signing other teams' captains. Didn't work out very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i-Ram Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I am not sure about Martin being captain. He has a look and demeanour that makes me think that somewhere between the referee's thumb and the ground the coin would go missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I think Martin should be made captain, I think it would mature him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
