Crofts for Captain?

Dicker for me too, the only time I feel comfortable is when he receives the ball. He always manages to find space for himself and he knows what he wants to do when he gets it. He plays it simple and keeps possesion. Like Drew says, he was screaming for Virgo to bring the ball out of defence and also telling Dickinson to pull his finger out!

I wonder whether Dicker could play further up field, he obviously has a talent for picking a pass.. The only thing that lets him down is his pace.

Dicker is a super player, but is he a big character, a voice on the pitch?
Same goes for Crofts only he's not as good. I wouldn't make him captain because I think in a playoff chasing side he wouldn't necessarily be a certain starter.

Though having said that, I'm not sure much the captaincy really means. It's just an armband isn't it? If a guys a leader won't he lead anyway?

Dicker could certainly play further up the pitch and to be honest i think he would do a good job there, it would just take the sort of coaching that simply doesnt exist at thios club to change his mentality from defense to offense becaue he certainly has the goods

I am fed up with watching Adam 'the £1.5 man' Virgo just hoof the ball into the opponents half. Drop him, bring on Tunnicliffe and make Crofts captain. He was the only player who gave 100% for the entire game. There was a moment in the second half where Dicker was screaming blue murder at Virgo to move into the space but he just hung back looking to deliver the non-existent 80 yrd pass. Virgo is clueless unless it comes to getting your head on the end of a high ball. No chance of causing himself any damage with one of those!!!

From everything I read about Crofts when we signed him : Being made captain at Gillingham spelt the beginning of the end of his time there. Seems his performances dipped with the pressure of the captains role on him.
