Phileas Fogg Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Wade elliot? Problem is him not playing every game/full 90. Wilbraham? Same issue. Flint - possibly but not totally confident in him yet. Needs to prove himself for a few more games. Korey smith? Albeit a new player. Oldham captain.

BRISTOL86 Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 give it to flint and he'd drop it. he will give it to someone he has worked with before and trusts Guess you haven't seen any games this season then? He's probably been our best player. What a ridiculous comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Who Are Rovers? Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Wade Elliot, no brainer, Done it all in the football league, he's am experienced, level headed player, who sets the standards on the pitch. No brainer for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roe Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Definitely Flint for me. Always been a fan of having a centre back as captain and Flint fits the profile perfectly. Unless we let him go to Huddersfield of course.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No brainer for me. But also likely to only be here this season. Might make sense to be planning for the future. Flint looks like he's getting better and better, and the captaincy could give him an added incentive to stay here should he attract attention in January/next summer should we not be doing so well.

Ash the Bash Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Would anyone consider Osborn if he wasn't injured? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nogbad the Bad Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Flint would be my choice, but Cotts. may well give it to Wade Elliot. No problem if it's Wade, though he's been a bit underpar this season imo, and, of course, may not play every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRISTOL86 Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Oh yes hadn't thought of him, yes possibly. I like Karleigh but I'd put Flint or Wade ahead of him as captain material. Flint is certainly the most obviously passionate player I've seen at the club in a while, whilst he might not be the most technically gifted player, there's no doubting his desire and committment to the cause. Good captain material IMO. Very vocal, not afraid to tell people (Fielding) when they're twatting about ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoggy21 Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Pack to the armband against Sheffield United when baldock went off. Eliott was off the pitch too though. I'd give it to Flint, Eliott or Fielding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 I'd stick it on Wade, think he'd take it in his stride, otherwise Korey Smith maybe? Was Oldham's captain so knows what sort of thing the job entails, just depends whether the squad would be okay with a new player taking it. My concern with Flint is that he gets thrown off by mistakes quite a bit, how his leadership would be effected could be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bard Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 As I said in another thread, Korey Smith was captain of Oldham. He seems to be a nailed on starter. It depends on what they're like off the pitch which no one on here really knows safe for insider info which is going to be loaded one way or another.

The Bard Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Flint isn't a captain - SOD said so.............. Seriously though, people think he's captain material cos he looks hard and is committed. There's more to it than that - intelligence and being able to bridge the gap between the manager and the players is key. Flint doesn't give one the impression he's like that - more that he'd happily put a tackle in with his head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David beckham was England captain he isn't the most intelligent, Flint has good organisation skills and is committed two good things to have in a captain, Out of interest who is our vice captain? Wouldn't they now get the role? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderbeans Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Smith for me. Was captain at Oldham, and although flint has started well, I don't see him in a captains role and will undoubtedly affect his performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flint doesn't give one the impression he's like that - more that he'd happily put a tackle in with his head. For me, the best qualities in a captain are organisation, vocal skills (i.e. shouting your instructions at team mates), committment, desire and passion, and I think Flint possesses all of those qualities. Intelligent? Baldock is one of the more intelligent players we've had, but I'm not convinced he was the best captain. I like a centre back as captain, so Flint would certainly get my vote. Ultimately whoever Cotts picks I'll get behind. But it has to be someone who is pretty much guaranteed a start, or it's pointless. I'd say really the main contenders are Flint, Elliott, Smith and Little. Cotts strikes me as the type who would like a more defensive player to be his captain, but that's based on nothing other than my own judgement!
