Chair and Cameron positions at risk given efforts so far Very true. But think Cameron is more likely to start than Ball and who would replace Chair? I believe Willock and Adomah aren't fit yet. |

And although I dont mind GC he's looking like he's a potential liability I agree but you'd think twice before dropping your captain over a regular team player. Also recall his reasons for taking the armband from Barbet and giving it to Cameron. Anyway don't we still have two captains - one for the club and one for the team? |

Being made match day captain appears to mean less and less to clubs and managers these days..has there been any real thought or reasoning behind into giving Barbet last season or Cameron this season the armband ?
I saw a interview recently with Paul Ince describing how during his time at Man Utd the players were terrified by the thought of being on the wrong side of a tongue lashing from Roy Keane for underperforming on the pitch.
For me Geoff Cameron is an odd choice for the armband as I don’t feel his performances on the pitch last season earned him the right to be captain.

So who would be a good choice for captain? Ball isn't a shoe in every week, not Wallace ffs and if it was Amos or Chair or Barbet everybody would be moaning, so Dickie then? Even after all the incomings we still don't have that leader.

If Lee Wallace is a shoe in for L/B in MW eyes then it really only leaves him as being the only logical choice as the added responsibility may up his game to what some of us expected from him.
Dickie needs a season to adjust to new teammates and surroundings as added pressure may effect his performances.
It’s also possible that Albert may be considered once he becomes a regular starter and fans favourite.
The club could do a lot worse than looking at Josh Falkingham 30 M/F terrier and captain of Harrogate Town on tv last night

warbs could easily spin the captaincy as being more symbolic and important off the pitch rather than a captain being a guarenteed starter. cameron won't start every game nor is he good enough too now, barbet is likely the vice captain but dickie is probably seen as our future leader

Even after all the incomings we still don't have that leader. anyone who can call heads or tails job done Derry and Hill never needed armband to be leaders under Adel. Have no idea why people get worked up over who is captain. Redundant role in modern game |

Adel was made captain because he was our best player and to massage his ego, it also upped his game....at most successful clubs the best player and leader is the captain.

Just checked the calendar. Extraordinary run of SEVEN games over the next 3 weeks, starting with Bournemouth. That'll give us a decent gauge of where we are this season.

Have no idea why people get worked up over who is captain. Redundant role in modern game We absolutely don't have the characters in the side to appoint a figure head captain (like Adel). I don't see a Clint, a Sean Derry, a Dunne or even a Ned anywhere these days. That, plus Warburton's questionable motivational skills, is why you want someone who can rally the troops, why whoever skippers the side needs to lead. Mourinho: "when you have a leader your team is one step ahead". Klopp: Henderson, Milner, Van Dyck. All leaders, all skipper material.

But you don’t have to be the captain to rally the players that’s my point. It’s either in your character to do it or it’s not the armband is irrelevant

However if a manager has to choose which player to drop between two, he'll be under less pressure to drop the team player over his captain. That's why he's made it harder for himself giving Geoffrey the armband. That's the only counter argument. |

But you don't want to be undermining the captain either as that's bad for moral and team spirit. A captain still needs leadership qualities even if he's not the only one that's got them.
