Captain for next season

[woodthorpepieeater]

Thoughts? Oliver Norburn has always been the team captain and I was unhappy that Palmer did not take control of the Jatta incident against Cheatbledon

[gazzalee69]

Platt all day

[WarsopPie]

Bedeau for me or Platt

Bedeau for me or Platt

I don?t overly see Platt talking on the pitch or Bedeau for that matter unless I?m missing something others are seeing?

[Elite_Pie]

Norburn if he can become a regular starter. He has a reputation as a leader.

[SwalePie]

Probably Norburn, if mainly starting.

Can?t be Norburn. He?s one of our new signings so by default is rubbish and why would he accept the captaincy of a team destined for relegation? I think we?ll give it to Langstaff or McGregor when we re-sign both of them in a show of real intent from the brothers.

[CamPie]

Seriously though I think it will probably be Norburn.

He isn't rubbish, he is injured. So he would not be able to start the season as captain.

if he gets on the pitch he’ll be captain of the treatment room with Ness and Robertson someone had to take Cundy place !!!

Chances are it’ll still be Palmer.

[DaveSmithRules]

Langstaff for me.

I fear you may be right. Whether it was playing in L2, recovery from injury with a (potential) ongoing fitness concern, the ageing process, or the captaincy last season was a bit of a regression for one of our standout players. On the basis that I think the captaincy didn't help I'd rather the captaincy went to someone else. Platt feels too introverted (I could be wildly wrong) and, although he is an excellent defender he needs all his concentration on what to do with the ball when in possession.

I do believe that it is important not to give the armband to someone who is temperamentally not suited (nutter/introvert/worrier). I reckon giving the captaincy to the quiet and apparently introverted Harry McGuire at Man U was a factor in his down turn in form
.
I'd give it the new bloke or Bedeau who does give the impression of being a natural leader.

[the_anticlough]

I'd be happy with Platt.
We do need a change

[Chicken Balti Pie]

Need a head coach to pick first

It's quite a big thing to strip somebody of the captaincy at any football club and unless Palmer wants to relinquish the job I doubt it will be given to anyone else anytime soon
