We desperately need to strip it from Sheaf and get someone else in. He’s been dreadful this seasons and there is zero evidence of any leadership on the pitch.
Has to be top of the shopping list in January.We have literally 0 leaders outside of Lati.
the downside of giving it him is you have to play him
Honestly, as unpopular as it may be, I think Eccles should get it.
He's about the only one who seems somewhat vocal, Lati aside.
Binks seems somewhat vocal but doesn't seem like the leader type.
Yep exactly.Can’t really have your captain making mistakes week in week out though, Binks is a liability most weeks so being captain ain’t gonna help the situation
I think that makes senseWhen Bidwell is back I would make him captain.
Not mature enough yet. Has picked up silly bookings. Still needs to be left to concentrate on his game. Maybe next season yes!Honestly, as unpopular as it may be, I think Eccles should get it.

Pissing About In The Summer?If only we’d signed Browne rather than pissing about in the summer.
That people can't suggest an alternative to someone who most agree isn't really captain material does show you how few leaders are in that dressing room though. The manager and coaches can only do so much from the side, having people on the pitch who can rally their teammates or help less experienced players through difficult moments is so important.I honestly think the role of the captain in football is completely over stated, especially in the modern game. What you need is for every player to do their job correctly.

The only player we have guaranteed to start is Haji Wright. The only person I would say is captain material is Bidwell. Plus the role of a club captain is way wider than match day.That people can't suggest an alternative to someone who most agree isn't really captain material does show you how few leaders are in that dressing room though.

It does look like Sheaf's performances are suffering for various reasons, maybe pressure on him as the captain is one of those, maybe not. If it is, perhaps that role needs to go to someone else.The only player we have guaranteed to start is Haji Wright. The only person I would say is captain material is Bidwell.
I don't think it's the captaincy, I think he's struggling with injuries (Saddle said he's having injections before games) and not helped by the team changing every week, and others around him being so poor.It does look like Sheaf's performances are suffering for various reasons, maybe pressure on him as the captain is one of those, maybe not.

But then you need someone to shout at them on the pitch to make sure they do their jobs correctly ( the coach can't always be in that vicinity)I honestly think the role of the captain in football is completely over stated, especially in the modern game.

Just a wider symptom of our problems in central midfield, despite Doug thinking that position's covered. You can see though how much this team needs a few players who can provide leadership on the field during difficult moments.I don't think it's the captaincy, I think he's struggling with injuries (Saddle said he's having injections before games) and not helped by the team changing every week, and others around him being so poor.
He was de facto captain last season so I don’t believe being official club captain makes much difference.It does look like Sheaf's performances are suffering for various reasons, maybe pressure on him as the captain is one of those, maybe not.

I completely agree, its not about a captain it's about leadership across the pitch. McF would organise the defense and talk all through the game regardless of the arm band. He didn't stop when Kelly was in the team. It goes back to the shite recruitment. We knew our defense was a problem last season, yet we re-signed Binks when we could have brought someone in with a bit of experience, so we basically have the same defense as last season.Just a wider symptom of our problems in central midfield, despite Doug thinking that position's covered.

The difference McF made to his defence by helping to co-ordinate and communicate with them was huge in the playoff season.
Something Mourinho said a long time ago was about having a strong spine to any successful team. You look at what we have and in all 3 parts of the pitch, there's nobody who you can bank on every week to perform to a decent standard.I completely agree, its not about a captain it's about leadership across the pitch.

Fans love Bassette’s work rate (rightly so) whilst overlooking that he’s actually wasting a lot of energy and his work in the box is inferior to Simms and Wright. If anything, I want Bassette and BTA coming off the bench against tired defenders.Something Mourinho said a long time ago was about having a strong spine to any successful team.

If Simms had missed Bassette's header in the first half we wouldn't have heard the end of it. Shocking miss.
