He's just not cutting is as a player and even worse as captain at the minute, week in week out he's poor playing well below a standard he set. Looks lost a times, players leave him for dead, gets no where near him man at set pieces. He's slow, and predictable when playing passes and not put in a good game for months.
This is all from our captain. The man who's supposed to set the standard, the level of performance required by team mates to get the points on the pitch. If the captain is poor this filters down... No fight no desire no points. When the chips are down like they've been for too long now, where's your captain. Looking dejected and flat sloping back for the restart. This is all while still in the top 6, what would he be like if we were really in trouble. Why can he not motivate a top 6 side with all his experience.
He may be a model professional but not a natural leader to take out on the pitch to go and overcome our opponents. TM and JC do the preparation as soon as kick off comes it's time for Ricketts to take over.
He's way off his game and don't deserve to start just because he has the armband. TM must do the right thing.
Failing as a player and as a captain...
Time for a rest now...
