Anglia Red Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Wade Elliot for me. Many people were questioning Flints place in the team a few weeks ago - Now he's most people's choice as Captain! Granted he has proved his value to the team in recent days - Just like Wade's experience. Only question mark over Wade would be if he has the stamina for the role - but for his age he seems to cope well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squire Dastardly Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Always prefer a captain to be part of the defence. Smith or Osbourne for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeh Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Those 'many people' were quite simply wrong. Indeed quite happy to admit it too, tho I did that last season after is remarkable improvement after that Sheffield game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNBT Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 David beckham was England captain he isn't the most intelligent,I 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? Beckham isn't actually that thick just sounds it, I always thought he was as well till watched some stuff, granted he's not the most intelligent but not as thick as people make out. Not sure who I'd go for like most I prefer a center half but reckon Smith would be a good call but could be Pack as he's been handed it before when Baldock gone off.

Cider-Head23 Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 With Smith, I don't see how you can put a player whose been there only a few months as Captain.. he doesn't know the players and the club well enough yet to be leading them out every week in my opinion!

JammyOne Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Wade Elliot short term, Greg Cunningham long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welcome To The Jungle Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Flint seems a real leader on the pitch, though he seems quite the comedian off it (don't know if thats good or bad for a captain). Elliott is an obvious choice as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aipearcey 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. Flint seems to have a great relationship with John pemberton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaskoolay Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Has to wade he's been about been at club longer than a lot and age. Not Flint let him keep doing what he's doing. A shout might be wilbs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always Believesham Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 I agree that captaincy may put Flint off his stride - if anything I'd give it to Williams of the 3 centre halves but think it will go to Wade with Korey Smith to take it on in Elliott's absence However, I think it's clear from the recent surge during Baldock's captaincy with Cotterill in charge, organisation isn't the problem - we have leaders now and the captain's armband has almost become decorative. Could you say the only things required of our captain are to be a role model to the younger players (ie. squad & youth team) and a starter? Which could well be Aden Flint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash the Bash Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 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. Fielding really? I guess if we don't sign another keeper he'll be in the team every week.. don't think many fans would be too happy by it though! When Osborn returns will we see Flint gently pushed out again perhaps? Ideally I'd like to see a few more months of Flint to see if he can maintain his good form... impossble I know which is why this is such a difficult decision. Smith or Elliot? Dead cert starters, especially Smith Hopefully Cotts will pick a captain over the next couple of days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Give it to Smith, Flint has problems concentrating on his own game. Cotts should let the players decide who they would have faith in. Expectations are going to be really high this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVMal Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Wade Elliott, with Korey Smith when/if Wade doesn't play. Agree with this. Then at the end of the season when Elliott will likely retire Smith can take it on full time. Don't want to put Flint off of his own game, been brilliant so far this season.

REDOXO Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 As the fella said! Don't put Aiden Flint off his stroke! Wade Elliot is the obvious choice for Captain on and off the field for this season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor10 Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 So Wade Elliot new captain, makes sense. Obvious choice for me. Leads by example and has the right experience. Glad Wade has got it. Not sure why some wanted Flint. Still young and isn't really a leader. Plus he's playing very very well so we don't want to put him off his stride. That said he could potentially be a good captain but too early for him I feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flint and Baldock are actually the same age, and SB was given the captaincy a year ago at 24. I'd say Flint is a leader, very much so in fact - a very unusually vocal and passionate player. Nevertheless more than happy with Wade, my only qualms were his likelihood of being available for every game and his form so far this season. Class is permanent though and as SC is going for experience to lead a relatively young squad, I'm sure he'll do a great job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, and by appointing Wade Elliot as captain, this gives us two leaders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
