A E Neuman NYowl Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 As part of the deal to get Westwood to sign I would offer him the team captain role. It might just clinch the deal. He seams like a big enough character to be effective in the role and has Loads of experience, not scared to hand out a roasting when needed but also seen him put an arm around the shoulder and a pat on the back which can be just as effective. Harsh on Tom Lees, but I do think Toms style is not suited to the role, he also seems to play better when he only has his own game to think about.

matthefish2002 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 You should give the captaincy to player you think is most suited to the role not as part of a sweetner to sign a contract. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd offer him a coaching role and a mucky weekend with my wife if he will hurry up and sign a new deal. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, can't really think of anyone better really, maybe if Hector joins he could do the role. Who would you choose Matt ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't argue with that, can see the reasoning behind it, was also one who I would consider. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OxonOwl Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I generally don't like goalkeepers or forwards being captains but other than that KW has all the attributes of a good captain. Never thought Lees was the right choice. He needs to just get out there and play. Not sure that Bannan is right either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prowl Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I don't like goalkeepers as captain. Bannan is too hot and cold to be captain and I don't see him as an arm around the shoulder type. He'd be fine at the shouting at people bit. Lees is a good player but not captain material. Hutch would be ok if he played more games but I get the impression he can be a moody person. Hector would be a good shout if we get him back. Lee might fit the bill if his fitness is ok. He gets all over the pitch, always keeps going but maybe not a big enough personality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torryowl Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 tom lees as captained the team under 4 different managers why do some think he isn't a good captain ……..what are they seeing that those who want change arnt ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystic Neg Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 If we are going to change it would be Steven Fletcher for me. Bannan is a mardy git. So too is Westwood apparently, the reason Westwood has fallen out with people easily throughout his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurujuan Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 (edited) It’s important to have the right captain, and I don’t believe there’s a standout captain in the group With that in mind, I’m hoping we bring in a player with those leadership qualities Edited May 9, 2019 by gurujuan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Farrell Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 The captain should always be the tallest player. No exceptions. Has to be Big Dave. Would be the missing link in the squad and hopefully lead to him finishing his career with us and taking us up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously those who had him as captain know more about football than me (well some of them) and they know the bloke and know what he is like around the team. What I see is someone who doesn't seem to be in charge of the defence on the pitch, never mind the rest of the team. Not vocal enough, not a leader, except by example.

Maybe that he was just the best of a bad bunch He’s also the most experienced defender, which often qualifies someone for the role Having watched him for a while now, I’m not sure he’s the right man. He’s a good defender, who likes to have a clear role, and to just get on with his job He isn’t a good organiser. Indeed, when he played alongside young Thorniley, it was the inexperienced youngster who took charge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
