TheRamOfSwad Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 11 minutes ago, Big Bad Bob said: Mmm. It seems a little odd that season kick off is only a few days away and they haven't announced who will be captain. I hope it isn't NML as I don't want him to be distracted from his primary role of tearing the opposition a new one. I agree better off concentrating on his own game, I'd personally go for Nelson seems composed and a steady head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trappatoni Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Nelson for me too - prefer a CB as they see the whole pitch, he's the right age, I think he'll be in the 11. Agree that forwards need to concentrate on their own game more - defending there's more of a bias towards the collective and organisation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSD Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Put it this way, nothing can be worse than picking Chris Baird as captain. Not because he wasn't good captain material but he wasn't even first choice right back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minesahartington Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 I think Nelson is the piquet of the bunch.. Spacehorse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramplinho Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Someone who plays consistently and has been here for a while for me. I think NML fits that criteria and I think he will get it. He's more of a leader by example than organisational skills, but maybe it will keep him on form in a season where he's going to be pretty vital. I'd be more inclined to go for Nelson but hopefully whoever it is Curtis will marshall the defence anyway, same with the likes of Adams holding the midfield to account.

bucktwo Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Tom Lawrence as captain still sends a shudder down my spine and keeps pedestrians and drivers alike on their toes in Quarnden . Will Hughes Hair and jimtastic56 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamLad1884 Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Never make a striker/winger a captain, loss of form becomes fatal to the team. Unpopular choice, but I’d go with Osbourne. Knows the league and leads by example. Bradley as club captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did suggest Ben a while back , but after being at the game Saturday - I think fans will get on his back soon , as 90% of his passes go backwards .

Whenever you see the players together, Mendez-Laing is leading the group, I'm sure he'd be a popular choice. Nelson is leader on the pitch, but he's very quiet elsewhere.

Magicman Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 I would go for Nelson but expect NML to continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gee SCREAMER !! Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 When he's on the pitch, probably Collins. Always good to have an angry man to b****** players and scare the ref. Other than that, probably Osborn. Just might not have been here long enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal is a Ram Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 For what it seems to matter these days, I've never been much of a fan of a captain not in the thick of it - CM or CB preferred. Can't see it not being NML though. Foz quite rightly should be club captain, he did get it in the latter stages of the Valladolid friendly.

RadioactiveWaste Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Who do the squad look to? Because that's probably who they'll look to no matter who is wearing the armband. For me Nelson, but, I don't know the group personalities and dynamics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
