Time for Virgo to resign the captaincy?

[The Merry Prankster]

Always loads of stuff about Slade, White and Booker never anything about Virgo. I think he is ill suited to the role. We need someone more vocal, prepared to stand up and be counted. A man unaffraid to call the shots (and any other cliches you can think of).

I agree entirely I think Virgo is a very poor captain, Tunnicliffe for me.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Did Forster give it up?

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Virgo is one of our main problems at the moment.He is SO liable to do something stupid.

I agree entirely I think Virgo is a very poor captain, Tunnicliffe for me.

How can Tunnicliffe be captain when he isnt yet good enough to warrant a garaunteed first team place.

And also has very limited experience, perhaps in a couple of years but not now.

Crofts should be captain.

 

[Simon Morgan]

Did Forster give it up?

No, Forster is still "Club" Captain, whilst Virgo is "Team" Captain, Slade made the decision at the start of the season. Forster is our best captain by a mile

Forster dropped the captaincy as they didn't think he would be available for every game this season due to injury/age.

I agree on the fact that Fozzie is our best captain, but the reason i think Slade did not choose him is because he is out injured TOO often. Who does it go to when he's out?

He can always be club captain, but when it comes to the pitch, we need consistency.

Dicker, Crofts, Virgo = the only 3 options.

Dicker, Crofts, Virgo = the only 3 options.

Dicker, Crofts, Virgo = the only 3 options.

You could add McNulty to that list, perhaps? I know he's been out injured a long time, but that was a freak one-off injury, and I'd have thought he would be one of the few to have a first team spot nailed on.

A midfielder as captain is normally not a bad idea - but we've got so many now (I mentally counted up to eight of them, but I think I might have missed a couple!), and all about the same standard (ie. not quite good enough) that none of them can be guaranteed a game.

Personally, I'd stick with Virgo.............

The team that won successive championships was full of potential captains: Rogers, Morgan, Carpenter, Cullip, Oatway, Crosby etc.
Part of the problem with the current team is the lack of leaders on the pitch. Losing Owusu wasn't good news either. Forster and Virgo are as good as we've got tbh.

Point is James is better than either Virgo or Elphick and should start every game.

 

[Ecosse Exile]

I dont think we have a single player in the entire squad who is vocal enough to be captain and i include all of the above.

 

[The Large One]

I wouldn't be unhappy if Crofts were the captain.

He's older than Virgo (granted not a reason in itself) AND experience being a captain.

Plus I think he could lead by example. Has he been booked yet this season?

 

[grummitts gloves]

Crofts for me. Done the job before and is getting better all the time as a player for us. Being Captain would probably increase his presence within in the team

 

[SNOOBS]

Never anything about Virgo on here?! People love to lay into him.

I do think Crofts would be our best captain, but there is nothing wrong with Virgo.
