Great news. Such a quality player & massive boon to have him committed to our League One campaign (assuming thats the backstory behind the appointment). Would be gutted to see him leave.

Captained the side v Barrow in a League Cup game start of 20/21 season so his leadership qualities always been recognised. Good call from Liam giving the role to one of our younger players, so encouraging them as a group to take ownership, rather than taking the obvious route with 2 experienced players in both roles.

Very interesting decision from Rosenior, but a good one in my opinion.

Despite his young age, Bird is now vastly experienced, and knows better than anyone how the club operates, having been with us since a young age. He’s been a leader at every level he’s played at, and we’ve long seen him as a future captain. A year serving under Davies might be exactly what he needs, before potentially taking on the armband himself.

He’s no doubt we’ll respected within the club, particularly the younger players, for the performances that he’s put in since breaking through into the first team. That will help him become our long term captain in my opinion, provided he stays.

It’s a very logical decision to make him officially vice captain as well. Davies will be rotated out from time to time this season due to his age, probably only playing around 30 games, so in the remaining matches someone will have to take the armband. Bird is the ideal choice, as (assuming he stays and Bielik is loaned out) he will start every game he’s fit in CDM. So he’ll actually get to lead the team from time to time, gain the respect of his teammates and get that experience.

Because that’s a championship list and he isn’t in the championship?

Speaks well for a young lad.  If he kicks on again this season (no reason why he won't) we'll either go very close to promotion or he'll get a big move away.

Lets hope its the former!
