ashley8 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 You can tell on the pitch when he looses his rag and barks at players and plays worse. It's not hard to see. He is massively important to us so the distraction of being captain is stupid. Captains are usually strong players who can drive the team on with their attitude and strength. Why weaken a player who needs to be free to create. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swiss Toni Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Still don’t think we have a player who’s a strong, organised and vocal leader. Borner is the nearest to it for me but still not convinced he will play every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emilianenko Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Did anyone see Bannans demeanour when Brown took the free kick that Iorfa missed? Was like a kid who’s had his sweets took off him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neon Nick Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 As has been said, Boerner or "Big Dom" would probably be fit for purpose as Captain, but on the other hand, how long will either stay at Wednesday? Bannan has seen a lot, knows the Club both on and off the Pitch, and does not seem interested in plying his trade at any other Club, and my guess would be that he's had offers. It's new Season, new (sort of anyway) Coach, new Captain...some new Players, let's see what Bannan does "flying left seat" (Captain), starting off as dead last in the Standings, -12, and flying in a shot-up aircraft.

He seems vocal which is good but I don’t like the way he blames others even if it’s him that is at fault. I love blaming others for my theirs and my mistakes so I have no issue with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morepork Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 12 hours ago, areNOTwhatTHEYseem said: Based on how he's conducted himself on the pitch at times in recent seasons, I'd agree. He seems to be prone to digging out his teammates in a way that's not particularly constructive, even if the mistake appears to have been his in the first place! However, positions of responsibility can bring out the best in some people - it could work out if he knows it's on his shoulders as our most senior pro to help the younger players and to build some team spirit. The psychologist in me thinks he has SBMS or to use its full name - "Short, Balding Man Syndrome". Chronic cases can result in anger issues, furthermore this can be compounded if the patient is Scottish....... As he's already had a hair transplant, further treatments are extremely limited. We could try stretching him but that's a "tall" order....... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobness Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I suspect it's more that Lees is no longer captain, and it's been given to someone (Bannan) in the interim. Monk has said he sees Dunkley as a leader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Night-Owl Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 In my opinion it was an obvious choice between Bannan or Iorfa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lees was vice to Loovens so just got it by default when he left. Surprised Hutch never got the armband even under Carlos as they loved each other. Physically or just emotionally?

Swiss Toni Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 When things are going okay then Bannan is fine. It’s when things AREN'T going okay on the pitch that my concerns about Bannan being captain could come to the fire. He doesn’t come across as a leader, more of a sniper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Meadows Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Obvious choice, our most influential and important player more charisma in his left foot than Tom lees hopefully means he’ll sign a new deal too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owl Be Back Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Bannan moans, blames others and sticks his bottom lip out way too much to be an effective captain. Monk needs to tell him to grow up (no pun intended!) and not do these kind of things if him having the armband is going to be a positive influence on the team. So he needs to alter his match behaviour for this to happen. That's a pretty tough thing for someone to do, especially considering the circumstances we're in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if that’s what Monk meant in his post Leicester interview? Kept saying we need to challenge Bazza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
