Day Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I'm thinking that Clement will say something like it will be decided in the first 5 games of the season, who takes the armband v Bolton doesn't mean they will be the captain for the season.Want's to see them all in a competitive matchday situation and this is why we haven't had any announcement like usual as yet.

cheron85 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I wonder how de-motivating, if at all, this is for Keogh? At the least it's a hit to his pride.I think it all depends on how the chat goes.PC: "The fans think you are captain calamity, so I am stripping you of the captaincy".ORPC: "You are a good player and integral to the team, I think you should focus on your game and have Baird as captain to take the heat of you and have you focus on your game".If Keogh is a natural leader then the armband won't matter.I still think Keogh and Shackle partnership would be immense and I don't really mind who is captain."Richie m'lad... All these nancy boy ex-Premier League old geezers we've brought in... mind if I make one of them captain? They'll probably cry if I don't and I know you're more of a trooper than they are..."

JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Got to be Shackell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninos Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 It will be Shacks but we should prime George Thorne for the role in the future. Need to see a full season of games from him first though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRam Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I think Thorne will be VC to be honest. As many have said I'm not sure how much it matters who wears the armband, as long as it's someone who'll play consistently, so it'll be whoever wants it the most of Shacks and Baird I imagine.Still, Clement could throw us a curveball.

SaintRam Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I have it on very good authority the new captan will be CarsonThat would also fit the bill of someone who's going to play consistently if he's beaten Grant to the starting job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need a firm "this is our captain for the year" decision and let's rock and roll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam_DCFC_1994 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Keogh will be captain... NAAAAT.Shackell will lead the team out Saturday, Baird will be Vice.Keogh will eat rice.Derby will score twice.Suspect I've got lice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davenportram Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 there would only be an announcement if things were changing. We never got announcements in the past if the skipper was staying the same. No point. the dcfc player profiles opens with these two paragraphsUPDATED 06:00 10th July 2015 Richard Keogh joined Derby County in the summer of 2012 from Coventry City and has established himself as a key player at the iPro Stadium. His leadership skills and ability to organise from the back are one of his key strengths, as well as his solid and dependable performances, so it is perhaps unsurprising that he is Derby’s skipper.Read more at http://www.dcfc.co.uk/team/player-profile/richard-keogh/6#rHVe5z92R3QDOSTO.99 considering this was updated on 10th July then Keogh is still captainmaybe its just a few fans hoping for a change that are worried that change might not happen and are trying to get people talking about it.

SaintRam Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Press conference this afternoon, I imagine we'll find out who's captain during it. On both Steve and Owen's list for questioning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRam Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Press conference is with Paul Clement and Chris Baird. The implication is there. Yep: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamLad1884 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Gives a lot of clues away then...baird to be expected to start each week? guess we know the RB for the season it seems. Unless he's club captain and Shacks is captain when baird isn't on the pitch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless he's club captain and Shacks is captain when baird isn't on the pitch?Regardless of the formation, Baird will play. RB when Thorne is playing, DM when he isn't and DM alongside Thorne with 4231. Can also play CB and LB if necessary. Basically, he's always going to be there unless he gets injured.

RiddingsRam Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I think if shackell would of signed earlier in previous season he might have pipped bird too it ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colm Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Best choice imo.Baird has really impressed me despite most people not being overwhelmed when he first signed.Leads from the back and has been part of all the pre-season games as well as having much more prem experience than the rest of the squad as far as I'm aware. Shackell only joined a week or 2 ago so still needs time to settle but it's important to have leaders all over the pitch more than anything else.
