Guest Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Simmo has spoken of a small group of older and younger players who 'lead the dressing room' and right the ship so to speak. I was just curious as to who we think that group consists of, and the characteristics that make them leaderss My guess: Keogh, Grant and Hughes.

Curtains Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Bucko will be one for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewquayRam Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I can't imagine for one second Chris Martin doesn't have his say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealhantsram Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I also wondered about that when I read it. I'd agree Keogh, Bucko, Grant, Hughes. Plus possibly Bryson and Martin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagerbob Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Martin has been mentioned by name before by Mcclaren when talking about this. Id expect Eustace, keogh, grant and buxton to be there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 In the huddle talks I've seen Grant, Buxton, Keogh and Martin give the talks if that means owt. Hughes is obviously an influence. Impressed with how Ince has chucked himself into the job. Actually seems to have the opposite of a bad attitude. Depends what you call young. Martin is only 26? Eustace will still be about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lushrams Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I would assume the Leadership group would form the spine of the team....Grant, Keogh, Hughes and Martin.......with Bucko as raging bull waiting to be released! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Well he did say older and younger but I guess Martin is younger. If you go by reactions on the pitch, then it's def keogh ... Granty is an obvious one too. Not sure about Bucko but Hughes is always one of the first to sprint over and congratulate the scorer. A sign ? He's mature far beyond his years just not sure if he pipes in at meetings or if he just focuses on and encourages the other younger players .

I love bryson but he doesn't strike me as a vocal leader type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duracell Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Impressed with how Ince has chucked himself into the job. Actually seems to have the opposite of a bad attitude. Still don't really know where this ever came from to be honest. He has an arse for a father, granted, but other than that the main reason for his alleged "bad attitude" seems to be that he signed for Hull? Wtf.

Srg Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I think it's Tom and Lee Naylor, Omar Mascarell and Mason Bennett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duracell Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Think Lee Naylor is among these as well. It's been implied that's why we still have him before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Think Lee Naylor is among these as well. It's been implied that's why we still have him before. Isn't he getting some coaching education too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuff264 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Hughes is the one to help young players integrate and get into the team. You could see him celebrating with Ince on Saturday and helping Bennett against Cardiff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimmu Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I love bryson but he doesn't strike me as a vocal leader type. Not sure about him, but he was captain in Scotland. Maybe 'cause his workrate? Eustace surely is vocal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jono Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Not sure I agree about Paul Ince. He was a cocky SOB and fond of himself for sure but if he'd been a Ram he'd have been loved. There is a need in a leader to have both a forceful personality and to be a team player. These things can conflict. The thing that has impressed me since I got a season ticket is that you get to that the lads really are a team. Bet Martin is amazingly gobby but his team mates know it and tell him in time honoured bantering fashion - which he in turn revels in. Very impressed with Hughsey .. Always looking out for the "new kid" seen it with Bennet, ok so he knows him, but also Ibe and Ince. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncanjwitham Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Impressed with how Ince has chucked himself into the job. Actually seems to have the opposite of a bad attitude. On Saturday, as the players were walking over to the pre-kickoff huddle, Bucko had his arm round Ince and was clearly giving him some kind of instruction/encouragement. Obviously I have no idea what was said, but I imagine a few words as to what was expected of him were part of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
