Thought one of the pre requisites was leading by example...in retrospect that probably explains a lot about the recent performances.... There are 2 types of captain in football. Those that talk & motivate teamates through games, or those that are a bit quieter but lead by example. Lawrence is neither.

Black ('n' White) Sheep Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Why the hell is Tom Lawrence club captain?! Davies, Jagielka, Shinnie... all three would be better choices. jimtastic56, Taribo, Ramarena and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No support, miles from goal. he would probably shoot? DCFC Kicks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Ince was a far better player in my opinion. He scored goals, had some pace and someone paid 10.5 million for him.

MuespachRam Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 He was an absolute disgrace tonight. he has stunk the place out for years and needs binning as soon as we can get 200k for him. dcfc4ever, loweman2, jimtastic56 and 1 other 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBRammette Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Could only hear the RamsTV commentary for the second half whilst driving and son watched it but for a long time I thought Lawrence had been substituted. We really need players like him to give it all this season and he really doesnt seem to be for last few matches. As many have said really missed Shinnie tonight - would be genuinely interested to know if those who usually say he he offers nothing agree?

Seaside Ram Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Worst club captain I can ever remember. Imagine putting him on the same list as Rob Hindmarch , Mark Wright, Robbie Van Der Laan and Shaun Barker ?? Eddie Lewis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason why Rooney made him captain is to try and get more out of him as a player. He's one of the better players, one that has some ability but doesn't do it consistently.

Another of Rooney's failings. Lawrence is annoying, but he didn't ask to be made captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Rambe33 Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 The armband means absolutely nothing in this day and age. Davies, Jags and Shinnie are the leaders. I feel it was a desperate attempt to try and bring more out of Lawrence by giving him more responsibility. He's an ok champ player nothing more but I find it hard to blame him for our results and performance.

Ram-Alf Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 There's things in football that really get under my skin, I played a fairly good standard on Saturdays and Sundays, Saw a few players who could/should have made the grade ie Pro or Semi Pro, But they'd sooner go out on the lash, 2 have since passed through beer/drugs. TL had the world at his feet, Welsh International, Scoring goals for us, Then Loses his Mother, And followed up with Joinergate, There's many including myself who've lost a loved one, It hurts and can bring you down, The sympathy I had for Lawrence during the time of Joinergate has gone, He's stealing a living from DCFC imo, He brings very little to our game, He certainly isn't Captain material, I'd Bin him in January and look for someone who has a good work ethic. This Captain Tom showed what can be done if you have what it takes. sage, angieram, Foreveram and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramarena Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 (edited) Poor decision, I understand why he did it, but it was never going to work. He also got it wrong when he gave it to Knight last season. Obvious candidates were Davies or Shinnie.

MackworthRamIsGod Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 I'd rather have Jennifer Lawrence running around the pitch and pretending to be our club captain. She may be as ineffective as Tom, but she would be easier on the eye. To think we spent so long trying to sell Ince only to then chuck a lot of that money on Lawrence.

Not a captain in the traditional form of the game I really don’t think he is an OK championship player, I think he is a busted flush. he will get himself a move to somewhere like Cardiff or Peterborough but that’s about It. honestly, would you be worried about him if he was playing against us? I wouldn’t the way he waved his leg at that challenge in the centre of the park last night was embarrassing. 'Rambe33 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think me like many others are just bored of these players making the same mistakes week in week out. His half-arsed efforts to challenge headers, dangle a leg at challenges is nothing new.
