Next Captain

[oakiecokie]

So tomorrow will be announcement of the new city Captain, based on the players vote.

Love the approach that the players get their say.

Personally can’t see passed Spanish Dave.

I would think both him and Ferno as understudy will take the mantle.
Next season I see KDB getting it on a full time basis.

Neither can I but I think having to do it all again next year would be silly.

He may not want it, I suspect he doesn't.

He may not want it, I suspect he doesn't.

I think he'd love it, but that's just based on a hunch. He loves this club and I think he'd be really proud and pleased to be its captain in his final season here. He's also mentally tough enough for the job imo

Dont think it’s in any doubt, Silvas last season and the longest serving player now, it’s easily him. Dinho and kdb will be his two deputies.

I would think both him and Ferno as understudy will take the mantle.
Next season I see KDB getting it on a full time basis.

Sorted!

Scott Carson for me. Legend.

Of course it’ll be Silva. Unless he’s told the players he doesn’t want it it’s nailed on, and rightly so.

I'm hoping its Kev,make Silva club Captain if sentiment is needed.

We need an inspirational and automatic starter,with leadership abilities,and who speaks well in public,as team Captain - Kev fits the bill perfectly.

You can be all that without the need for the captaincy. I have my slight doubts about KDB as captain right now.

He can often get too emotional on the pitch. We’ve seen him throw a strop at teammates or more than one occasion for not picking a pass or something similar and we’ve seen petulance creep into his game at times including as recently as the pre-season friendly against Yokohama with a series of naughty and needless fouls within a few minutes when something went against him.

Of course that emotion can work in our favour too at times just like when Spurs tried to cripple him only for it to make him angry enough to take the game by the scruff of the neck and win it single handedly smashing the ball through Loris.

Just feel he sometimes needs somebody more senior than him on the pitch to just have a word in his ear and calm him down a tad which won’t be possible if he’s club captain. I fully expect him to temper his emotions and become captain eventually, just not yet.

Purely on a respect level, it has to be Silva. KDB's time will come next season...
