Arguably (if fit) would play more than Korey, also a warrior and still be here next year? Contract expires in the summer according to Transfermarket.

But if he does can you see him playing much? You would think with Morrell coming back that him and Nagy would be ahead of Smith in the pecking order for his position. Then we have another Bailey Wright situation. I love Korey, but if we were to release him to free up wages for another Kalas/Wells level signing, I personally think it’s a no brainer.

Not doubting you but sounds odd, played a few games this year and would’ve thought we’d want to keep him? Perhaps he has an option for another year which has gone under the radar a bit?

Phileas Fogg Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 Really it should be someone who starts whenever possible, is Smith going to start every game between now and the end of the season? If he is, then he is the natural choice. If not Smith.. Thinking about people who start every game and seem mature.. Bentley, Weimann possibly Dasilva?

grifty Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 3 hours ago, Tipps69 said: Weimann, can I ask why you’d consider him? He’d be one of the last players on my list candidates. I'm pretty sure I heard in an interview with another player that Weimann has the role of being in the refs ear all the time, always appealing, trying to influence the ref, so I don't think our captain should have the same role. Let Weimann do the dirty work. For me it would be Williams or Smith for the rest of season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Its Smith Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 Captain on the pitch isn’t that important really. It’s off the pitch where it matters. Got to be a good go between regarding manager and players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to be a good go between regarding manager and players. Do we still divide the captaincy between 'team' and 'club' captain? I was under the impression Brownhill was the team captain and Wright was the club captain. Wouldn't surprise me to see us make Smith the club captain (also team if he plays) with someone else as team captain when he doesn't. I was surprised that Brownhill was team captain really, never seemed the type based on what I saw of his personality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised that Brownhill was team captain really, never seemed the type based on what I saw of his personality. I’m not sure anymore. I think Smith is the obvious for club and team captain as he’s been there done that . Vice captain up for debate. Hard to suggest players really as people don’t know their personality or if they want it. Loads used to say Flint. There is a reason flint has never once been a captain for any club he has played for despite looking like captain material Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carey 6 Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 Smith captain. If Smith doesn't play, then Williams. Williams moans at the ref all game long, honestly just watch him after every decision against us. At least with the captains armband he can do so without fear of being booked as easily.

There is a reason flint has never once been a captain for any club he has played for despite looking like captain material That's true, we only get a small snapshot of their personalities through interview and social media - can be reasonably revealing though. Good point about Flint; conversely I thought it was quite clear from his social media he wasn't captain material. I think Smith is the obvious choice really, luckily there's a few candidates who can fill in if he doesn't play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clutton Caveman Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 9 hours ago, Sydneybcfc said: Seems to me who the on pitch captain is now fairly irrelevant, with the manager yelling instructions from the touchline there isn't that big a role for a captain as ideally we should have many leaders on the pitch armband or not. Its probably more important for the off field role in being the spokesman for the players and general go to experienced head for the younger players, fairly sure Carey was still 'Club captain' in his final season when he barely played as his impact as captain off field was where it was most useful. That woulkd be true if LJ could tear himself away from the fourth official to actually give some instructions and motivation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only fans and media really care who is captain on the pitch I think there are bits like being in the ref’d ear that are important, but ideally you just want a bunch of players on the pitch to drive themselves and each other without needing an armband. What is obvious is when a team has no / very few leaders. We are like that at times. I’m told by someone that Ashley Williams influence on the pitch and dressing room pre-game/ h-t (as well as Failand), is not to be under-estimated.

It's intellivent tbh, they all need to be captains going into the final push, i suggest Smith becuase how he's come back to fight again for the shirt since horror injuries is inspiring, Williams is obvious choice too, Kalas also and what about Fam? Jay, who is skipper of the Eng u21's. Bentley in with a shout too and if we're goin on effort for the cause its Andi. so idk, make them all captains for the rest of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
