Slightly surprised as always get the feeling an outfield player is preferred.
But it was always going to be Bryson or Lewis when McKenna was over looked in pre-season.
No complaints though.

Ah but remember the great Paraguayan goalie captain Chilavert or the Soviet goalie skippers Lev Yashin and Rinat Dasayev. A goalkeeping captain can be formidable and will put a few extra quid on Joe's value...Originally Posted by RedStarTorphins

I said before he should have been captain as well. Reliable and experienced. Brilliant keeper.Oh how they laughed when I mentioned on this very forum at the end of last year that Lewis would replace Shinnie as captain. If I do recall correctly all the 'experts' were saying Devlin was shoo-in

A captains job is more than just on the field, as long as we have strong enough characters in defence and midfield then I don't see any real problems in the captain being a goalkeeper.
Look forward to seeing him lifting many trophies.

Iker Casillas was captain of Real Madrid & Span too, was he not?
Dino Zoff - Juve & Italy?
Buffon - Juve & Italy.

correct - the likes of McKenna, Bryson & Ferguson can be "captains" further up the pitch.
To use a horrible cliché, "leaders"

If you watch him in games he is one of the most vocal on it.
Dino Zoff was another fantastic captain. Buffon aswell. Keepers can work. They see the whole game. The only worry is will he take his eye off his game. We can only wait to find out.
Congratulations Joe. Im happy with the appointment

Very sensible decision, can communicate, see the game well and will not pick up the amount of yellows Shinniesta did, mind you, with our officials you genuinely don’t know.Super Joe Lewis
