Yellow Green Army 236 Posted January 23, 2016 Is to strip the captaincy from Russell Martin, drop him from the starting line up along with Bassong and give the captaincy to a natural leader on the pitch.We cannot keep trying to accommodate Martin in the team, he simply is not good enough for the premier league even if he is a ''nice bloke''.As to the next captain, thats a hard one but Naismith would be a good shout on todays evidence.It''s a decision that needs to be made and one if taken could transform our season, if not and we stick with the same personnel then we will be relegated.It''s now time for big brave decisions. Is Alex Neil brave enough to do it though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mooney 0 Posted January 23, 2016 He''s already made brave decisions with Ruddy, Grabban and Whittaker. Seems he''s going to drop Martin against Spurs.I think another brave decision is to put Redmond in the u21s for a month because his work rate is terrible and he turned his back on 4+ tackles today. The team today minus Martin, Redmond and Hoolahan and with Klose, Vladis and Jarvis is a very strong one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,232 Posted January 23, 2016 Actually funny you should bring up Grabban, he''s already saved us two points today by missing an absolute sitter according to Sky!Great 8.5 million and two points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barclay seats 4849 the 3rd 0 Posted January 23, 2016 Redmond looked far better than Jarvis did . Although I agree his work rate had dropped off badly ,, should have used Ofoe instead of Jarvis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swjf50 0 Posted January 23, 2016 Drop Martin, Bassong, Dorrans and Redmond to be replaced by Bennett, Klose, Tettey and VOO.Why wasn''t Mulumbu played instead of Dorrans today? We didn''t have a single defensive midfielder on the pitch, which was madness. We missed Tettey today. I know his passing is his weakness but he covers a lot of ground and protects the back four better than anyone else in our squad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
