Marlborough Red Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Surprised to see yet another Captain last night. Have never known so many different Captain's in one season. Seems that LJ doesn't know who should be Captain never mind his best Team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs4Red Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Wright was captain Saturday too in case you missed it. O'Neil didn't start, neither did Wilbs. Flint for anyone who fancies saying he should be captain, categorically come out and said he doesn't want the armband because it's too much added pressure. Therefore the right man has it, move on. Yet another thread started to dig at the manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 It's the Wright option, @Marlborough Red out of the starting line up who would you have chosen? Only potential option there seems to be Hegeler. Giefer Little Flint Wright Golbourne Hegeler Brownhill Tomlin Bryan O'Dowda Abraham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomlin isn't the right fit for a captain, while he exudes passion he mouths off constantly, and can go missing in games if things aren't going his way, not what you're looking for in a captain. He's similar to Flint in that his performances can inspire those around him, having the captaincy probably isn't the best move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFC_Josh Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 Flint does not want captaincy therefore I think Wright was the best choice from the starting 11 Tuesday night. O'Neil will probably get it back Saturday if he plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be good for Tommo to make him captain TBH. Tomlin isn't a good suggestion. He's far too volatile to be in that position. I can see the argument that the extra responsibility might empower him and make him act with more maturity but for me it's too much of a risk. Could horribly backfire seeing as he's fallen out with a fair amount of the managers he's worked under. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't train with them so I have no idea who's the leader in the team. Going to guesssss... Bailey Wright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is being skipper 'too much added pressure'??! You gotta call heads or tails at the start then gee up the chaps lots during the next turgid 90+ mins, whilst politely asking the ref to explain certain decisions - things that AF does anyway...have I missed anything?!

Even JB has been in and out of the team for a while. On Flinty, I would let him concentrate on defending TBH. Look at how he suffered when he tried to do too much previously? He probably is the obvious choice but I would rather he stuck to doing what he's good at and left the captaincy to Wright. LJ must have seen something to give him the armband so early into his City career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefor I agree with Wright being captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YorkshireSection Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 If give it to Tomlin, I honestly think it would be the completion of him. I also think that it's probably the best chance we have of him staying at the end of the season. Players like Tomlin need an arm around their shoulder at times to feel wanted, giving him the captaincy could be just that. More than happy with Bailey Wright though.

Phileas Fogg Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 54 minutes ago, Top Robin said: Hegeler He's the logical choice, I assume he'll be starting every week which is a big factor. Not many other candidates who are more or less guaranteed to start every week. Suggestions of Tomlin are obviously ludicrous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marlborough Red Posted February 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 Don't believe we have a leader on or off the pitch at the moment. The video of the Changing rooms and Tunnel showed our players going on and off the pitch with seemingly low adrenalin or enthusiasm. Find it strange that Wright , a new player was given that responsibility . Would personally love to see Flint accept the additional responsibility as he seems to have the leadership capability ,drive and respect of other players to get things happening on the pitch. This thread was never meant to be another LJ Out opportunity, rather my view that we have lacked leadership on the field all season and constant changes of captaincy do not help.
