109Waddle Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 I think a few of us could be disappointed this summer, a few of the players people want rid of will still be here. It’s just not realistic to get rid of this season’s 16 man first team squad and replace it and be competitive next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time we had a good run of results Lees was in the team. He has been dropped during our current poor run and things haven't got any better.

SiJ Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Tbf, all three of our Cbs are in crap form. Lees is a bit soft, Iorfa couldn't trap a bag of cement and Borner is rash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 As for this whole captain thing... Well, he might not be the best captain, but he has been picked as captain (or vice) by three or four managers now. Suspect with Lees it is probably to do with how he conducts himself off the pitch as much as anything. Clearly, a good pro who looks after himself.

FreshOwl Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 We all know how football forums work, the same as they have been for the past 15 years. If you don’t like the criticism of your favourite players then piiiss off. No one is getting personal, everything is related to what’s going on the pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torryowl Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 tom lees may be a lot of things but mentally weak he aint …….ive never met the bloke but 5 successive managers who have are happy to have him as captain and I doubt very much they'd be doing that if he had mental problems …….

The last time we had a good run of results Lees was in the team. He has been dropped during our current poor run and things haven't got any better. 100%. I cannot fathom why Lees is being singled out. Certainly it can’t be based on results as Borner-Iorfa in tandem have been utterly dire. Its odd. We have 3 CBS who at times have each been a Rolls-Royce, yet recently have all been Trotters Independent Traders’ van. Which given our manager was a CB is just plain odd. I have said from the off. Tom is the best of the 3. Nothing I see makes me change that view. Far from perfect, not at his best, but Id pick him every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're probably right, but what difference does the captain make. Are the other players relying on him to gee them up, encourage and rally them. If thats the case we should have "captains" all over the pitch, taking responsibility and influencing the game. We have enough experiencè in the squad that the players shouldn't be looking to one person for inspiration, hes not the captain of a young inexperienced side. We should be more vocal in all areas and not rely on Lees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs a Roy Keane or similar type on Yeah but look at the quality of players Keane had alongside him. We've not got a Keane but we have enough experience in the side. I don't think the captain has the influence that some people expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theowlsman Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Lees and Lee were my top tips for reaching the England squad on our return to the Premier League under Carlos. Carlos got the Midas Touch in reverse, Lee got crocked, and Lees started dithering. Who’d be a football pundit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveyboy66 Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 You don't need a captains armband to be a leader on the pitch...you lead by example ie Carlton Palmer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
