Should never be given the armband ever...after the stunt he pulled at Withdean. It's not been forgotten.

Not forgotten, no, but forgiven by most, surely?

I think giving it to Upson, could be a masterstroke. It would make him feel at home straight away, probably make him stick his chest out a bit more and feel a part of something. I don't think it would be a problem with the other players, given his background. Might give everyone a lift before what is a massive game.

Right here, right now
If Calde is not in the 11 then it is a difficult choice. I would have one of the following:

Bridcutt - leads by example but isn't what i would call a motivator. Seems a quiet player, by which I mean he doesn't gee up the other players like Greer does.

Hammond - is a motivator and has captained the side previously (forget the Withdean stunt - move on)

Bridge - experienced but again, not a motivator. Seems quiet on the pitch.

Upson - Experienced and a motivator. I like captains at centre half or centre mid. Would also have respect from team mates due to his experience playing at a higher level. Might also encourage him to stay into next season (if we want him to)

About time you give it a rest over Hammond, morons like you should be shot.

Does it really matter then? All they do is call heads or tails & have a couple of pictures :) Should be 11 captains on the pitch at all times IMO

I would give it to Hammond or Bridge as I am sure both will figure in Gus's the plans for next season or possibly even Lopez if he has learnt to speak English.

Barnes. Bridders doesn't need the extra work. He's the type of footballer that gets his head down and works hard. Not a captain for me.
