Who will captain the team next year?

[The Large One]

Forster will be Club Captain.

Take your pick as to who will be team captain if Forster doesn't play. At present, it appears to be Virgo. I see no reason for that to change.

It's not as though this isn't without precedent. 2002 - Paul Rogers, Club Captain. Charlie Oatway, team captain in his absence.

As long as Forster is fit and raring to go i'd certaintly go for him with Virgs as Vice#
So the same..

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Fozzy as captain and Virgs as vice-captain.

Its not very often that it happens but I agree with TLO, I also think that Virgo will be captain when we get to Falmer.

I don't think are misfortunes this season have had much to do with the captaincy so we should stick with the same.

 

[GT49er]

Why isn't this a poll? Virgo for me - nothing against Forster, but a). I don't really like centre forwards being captain - it should be a defender or a midfielder, and b). because I don't expect Forster to play all that many games next (or any other) season.

forster no competition virgs as vice

 

[The Large One]

So for those who want to strip Nicky Forster of the Club Captaincy, what has he done to have deserved such treatment?

 

[dougdeep]

Forster, with Elphick as second in command.

 

[BHA96]

forster is a good captain but i would have virgo as vice

 

[HP Seagull]

A few people on here really take Forster for granted. I still maintain that even at 35 he's championship class and could do so much better than us. The best all-round forward we've had in my 15 years supporting the albion, and there shouldn't be any doubts about either his starting place or captaincy.

I agree, but Forster better than Zamora? No way.

 

[The Ringleader]

Should be whingy or kuipers IMO

i dont think anyone want to see Forster "stripped" of the captaincy, just some prefer a defensive player in that role and others recognise he probably wont be on the pitch that often.

 

[lethaldrizzle]

Elphick needs to concentrate on ironing out the errors that seemed to have slipped into his game this season before he's ready for extra responsibility.

Forster. Virgo vice.

 

[Simon Morgan]

HAS to be Forster

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Way too much made of this, it's not as though the captain in football has a massive role to play.

Toss the coin at half time, shake your opposing number's hand, shout a bit, get in the front of the picture if you're one of four captains who gets to win a league title each year.

If you're that kind of vocal player, you shout at the team and gee them up whether you're captain or not. It makes little difference to the team whether Forster, Virgo or even Doug Loft is skipper.

We're not talking cricket here.

 

[1066gull]

Forster again, Elphick vice.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Vice captain is even more utterly pointless.

It's a ceremonial job, nothing more, until such time as FIFA introduce a directive that only the captain may speak to a referee during a game.

Why the need for a formal vice captain? Surely if the original skipper's not about they just give the job to the next most senior or appropriate player. No need for all this ceremony and fuss!

Forster - if not then Elphick
