Permanent Club Captain...

[Trigger]

Hmm, perhaps it may have been an idea to put Dicker on the poll instead of Taricco.

My concern with Crofts is that according to Gillingham fans he was excellent for them until they made him captain and he totally lost his way.

Perhaps there were other things going on there behind the scenes though. He certainly did well as captain yesterday.

 

[HseagullsH]

Dicker for me.

Although Crofts was good yesterday, I'd say Gary Dicker.

He is a class above us, and leads by example. I think Gus will buy a player that plays like himself, meaning one of the 2 midfielders will get dropped. Dicker alongside a goalscoring midfielder would be amazing.

They are both more than capable of scoring goals (see yesterday), I really hope he doesn't drop one of them because they are an excellent partnership together

Don't think he liked dropping from the Championship to League Two- he sees himself as a better player than that and wanted to leave. Which I don't mind, as his ambition matches ours..

Needed more options to choose from...theyre not the only possible candidates

 

[Frutos]

Forgive my ignorance, but why do we have a 'Club Captain' and a 'Team Captain'?

 

[Marc1901]

dicker should be club captain

 

[227 BHA]

FFS Forster is already club captain!

This thread is very misleading as I assume the poll is meant to be about who should be the team captain on the pitch - 2 entirely different roles!

 

[B.W.]

AC please Gus

 

[Sillwood]

I think he will go with Crofts, now he has given him the armband. He will have thought about that decision long and hard I reckon.

He only saw the players for three days!?

FENCE - give it time.

He knows Crofts from his Chelsea days, Naylor says so in The Argus today

I've been saying for weeks that Crofts is the ideal captain. Fully committed and plays in the middle of the park. Unlike Virgo, you don't expect him to lunge in recklessly and risk a sending off.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Virgo

I have given him the benefit of the doubt

 

[scooter1]

Club captain = Nicky Forster

Team Captain = Crofts

I'd go along with this. As club captain, Forster is eloquent and educated, exactly what we need from a club captain.
Crofts may well be these things, I don't know - but he did his case no harm on Sunday and I expect he'll be captain on the pitch as long as Poyet see's no reason to change(ie: we're winning)

you and 3 others out of a good few votes here.

didn't do himself any favours with that quote did he!

Not exactly what he said is it. Crofts was a youth teamer at Chelsea when Poyet was there doubt he 'knew' him very much doubt that had anything to do with his choice of captain

It was a competely IDIOTIC thing to say. Bet Poyet read that and decided to make an example of Virgo in that no-one is guaranteed a place and Im the boss.

Why - Michel of course !
