Who are the winners?

[Alb1owl]

When I look at the side that turns out I always try and figure out who the winners are, and what that even means. This is unrelated to their talent or current form, or whether or not you actually like them, but the grit, not complaining, not moaning, shouting at the linesman (BB’s personal fave thing to do). 
 

So who are they and do we have enough of this type? I’ll get the ball rolling... Chey Dunkley. 3 games in a week after his horrific injury, first class commitment.

I've liked the sound of Dunkley since he walked in the door.

 

Though I did wonder if I'd ever see him in action.

 

To say he's been out so long I've been impressed.

 

I do think he'll end up skipper.

So this is just another Bannan bashing thread?

 

Ok

Nothing against Bannan. But Dunkley would be a better captain

Nope. It’s a thread about players with a winning mentality.

You’re detracting from the thread’s purpose. 
 

Who do you think the winners are? BB has passion, but does it always translate to a winning mentality?

On that definition Pelupessy, works hard, never injured, never complains, does the dirty jobs. May lack talent and I'm not saying he's a great player but he meets your definition.

He's been one of our best players this last month, JP

I said the same earlier but he needs time to settle in and get to know everyone. He's got the personality and looks a good organiser, I just don't like handing the captaincy to new players. Give him time and he will get to be captain.

I could just as easily not have included BB, but it helped define what I meant. 
 

Deriding the officials is done in victim hood. BB is technically excellent, I’ve mentioned where I think he lacks before.

 

Who gets on with it, doesn’t complain, digs in, scores a winning goal just a couple of days after making a mistake and being smashed for it? TL did.

The other day we were having post after post after post from someone screaming out that our players  weren't doing that at all and should be

Not from me.

 

I think it is undeniably unproductive to react that way. But this is not about just BB, plenty of players are guilty of that too! 
 

I want to know who the winners in the team are, because after the week we’ve had they clearly exist.

No I know mate - I just remembered that thread and how passionate people were about what makes a winner

A couple of folks were saying it's remonstrating with the matchday officials

 

I disagreed

[@owlstalk]

 

Ps it's far far too early to say 'Dunkley' too

 

He's not had a single bad game yet (the point where Wednesday fans usually turn on their own players)

Yeah true. Long may that continue!

Gunna stick my head up here and say yes to Dunkley as captain, normally I reckon it’s a player who has been around the team for a season or two but, once in a while a player walks through the door and it’s instantly noticeable they are captain material, Lions, Pearson? Chey could be the next real leader
