[Albion] Captain for Sunday?

[Razzoo]

I'd like to give it to March. Maybe he's not a leader but I reckon he'd step up.

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

I think Gross will play in the likely absence of Lallana and he will rightly be the captain

 

[AmexRuislip]

Possibly not the best option whilst he's still on conditional bail...................doesn't need any more spotlights on him atm

Maybe, but a bit of responsibility for him would take his mind off things, whatever they may be!

 

[raymondo]

Groß for the first 40 mins when he goes off with a torn deltoid muscle after four corners.
then Bissouma, until 62 mins when he goes off looking for the ball that left the stadium after another shot at goal.
followed by Sánchez until 88 mins when he brings down Kane for a penalty.
The final 2 mins Sánchez will throw the armband to the last remaining fan in the East Stand to take over for the remaining 12 minutes of injury & time wasting time.

I still expect us to win mind.

You forgot Maupay's late equaliser

 

[Gabbafella]

We actually don't have that many vocal players. Lallana if fit (big if). Größ has done it before but can you see him rallying the troops with any urgency or words of advice?

 

[albionalex]

Groß or maybe Veltman likely candidates.

Although if he is selected to start, would be quite a nice touch to hand the armband to Solly March, on the week he reached TEN YEARS as an Albion player

This.

The captains job these days is to argue with the ref so a good English speaker would have its advantages.

For me the issue is not who has the armband (although giving it to Solly would be a nice touch) but rather who is going to step up and be the leader in the pitch. Without Dunk, Duffy etc I can't see who the leaders are to organise and shout at players. Biss is a great player, but never comes across as a natural leader. I think Gross has captained the side before in cup games, but I am not sure of his ability to motivate others.
Then again, Potter always stresses the need to work as a team, so perhaps we do need one.

Veltman.
He'll definitely start & has the experience & attitude

Gross or Veltman, nailed on then.

SOlly is no captain, he can't lead himself half the time let alone a team ( I mean that in the nicest possible way!)

And Maups is really on it and focused the whole game - as soon as Ward Prowse left the wall he was calling and gesturing for the ball - brilliant stuff, always alert ...but I don't think he'll be captain.

It would be nice though - Maupay's English was good enough for Jon Moss to understand..

His English is excellent, and he's actually very polite

Generally I dont like when players with the most intense tasks (like Biss or Maupay) are captains. Let them stick to chaos and some one else do the order.

 

[zefarelly]

It doesn't really matter as Spuds will wriggle out of it.

May as well play Elton John

Agreed, 100%. If all the usual suspects are unavailable it would be Veltman for me... unless he's tasked with causing chaos on the back of Son's ankles although the Dutch can usually multi-task
