I'm not so sure. Shinnie was a winner, he was determined, fought for everything - Ferguson is a winner, Hayes is a winner - they hate losing. Some of our players just seem to accept it - Lewis looks like he has a sort of resigned look on his face when we concede a goal and when we don't get a result - there's no anger, passion or determination that it's not good enough. That's what i want from a captain - but we need a few more players like that throughout the team generally.
