[Albion] Captain In Place Of Dunk?

[dejavuatbtn]

Never seen the point of having a goalie as captain. It needs to go to the most experienced or influential outfield player, preferably a midfielder. I’d go Lallana or Gross if they are playing. Don’t see any of the rest as suitable.

We don't have any other 'captains' :-(

Burn, Webster and Trossard were captains at their previous clubs. Don't know who is in the current leadership group but probably them plus Llanana, Ryan and Dunk. If Dunk not playing, then one of the others in the leadership group. My guess is it will be Webster as he was handed the arm band when Dunk left the field on Sunday.

Lallana.

But he really isn’t a shoe-in to start, especially with Mac Allister, Groß, Welbeck, Izquierdo and Jahanbakhsh possibly pushing for a starting place in the next three matches.

Webster is the best alternative if Adam is benched I believe.

If fit, he'll always start.

To the nutters suggesting Bissouma, the lad barely speaks English fluently there is no way he would be able to engage with the ref.

I’m sure he can shout swear and scream in the refs face just like any other player !

You sure about that?

You sure about that?

The lads still having English lessons, no doubt will have improved considerably. A pre-recorded interview next, rather than the captaincy

Too soon for Lallana?

Subsequent posts suggest his English might be better than you think.

I think it should be AL, I think it will be MR.

Would be funniest watching Leeds implode if it was 3BW.

A left side vote for Solly. Confidence is important for a footballer, and what better way to install confidence than to make them captain. After all, as captain, all he has to do is toss the coin - we still have 'captains on the pitch' - Lallana, Veltman (if he plays), Webster, Bissouma, Alzate even.

A good call.

I would go with Solly, Lallana or Webster in that order.

I thought it was Webster too. Didn't see PG get it. Interesting choice there. Obviously Lallana was off then, but nice choice to give it to PG

Think it will be Lallana or Webster

Solly all day for me, too early for AL

I think West Brom will be the first game without either Dunk or Duffy in the starting line up since May 2016 when Goldson and Greer were the centre backs in our final game of the 2015/16 season.

edit >> Dunk was actually back for the 2nd leg of the Sheff Weds (H) play off. So the last game was in fact the first leg of the play offs when we lost 2-0. Goldson and Greer again being the 2 centre backs.
