To be really pedantic it was Martin that was captain for the majority of the games from mid September until February. Baird won 3 games drew 5 and lost 2 as captain/starting games.

Grantona Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 I thought Barker was captain that season - my memory must be fading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shackell captained the team in the other 28 games, he started and finished the season as captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gypsy Ram Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Hughes is defo a future captain/marshal material. The guy is intelligent, elegant and has that certain jenesequa. But for now, the leader is Keogh. He's respected by the squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gypsy Ram Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 You were a dm. We have all heard the stories. I played Premier league rugby. You still need a leader on the training pitch and the field. Unless football is gay. "But that's so cool to be gay, but I'm not gay". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The value of leaders? yeah. The value of an armband, nah You always get lads that talk you through a game. The alpha males on the pitch. The last team I played for our CB was the captain. But I never really got on with him. He'd point fingers and tell you where to cover and who to pick up and you'd do it. But it was the lad next to him without the armband that was the real leader. No shouting and screaming. Gentle organisation, he'd come over and explain a problem that you can solve. He was hugely popular off the pitch. And then my midfielder partner used to make the wide players defend (something they tried to avoid) You need leaders to organise players. To talk them up and give them a wake up call when needed. You need a few. But these people do it naturally. Armband or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chosen captain is most useful as a link between manager and players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal is a Ram Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Keogh has described it as a great honour to be asked to continue as skipper and Pearson added: "Richard is the natural choice. "I am not a big believer in having a team captain and a club captain, it is not something I am particularly interested in. "We have a captain on the field, and Richard fits that bill. "I am very happy for him to do that. "We have not really had a discussion about it. I don't think it is something that needs to be discussed at any great length. "Everybody seems to be pretty hung up on this issue about officially naming a captain but I'd like to think we will have a few more captains, but they won't all be wearing armbands. "Leadership is something that comes in all different guises but it is important to have somebody on the field who accepts responsibility and who is also a go-between with the management and the players." http://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/derby-county-nigel-pearson-on-why-he-named-defender-richard-keogh-as-skipper/story-29598224-detail/story.html#XjA8u3CXGR0XCfZp.99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
