David Matthews 0 Posted September 1, 2005 As a lot of people are now calling for Craig Fleming to be dropped from the side, i was wondering who you lot thought should take over his reigns as captain.Is there anyone else in the side that can do this job as good as he can?

Could anyone NOT this job as good as he can.Personally I don''t see anyone in our squad who has the credentials to be a captain other than Shackell and that won''t happen!

Give the Doherty/Shackell partnership a decent chance.I guess the best of the options would be Saffri or possibly Drury again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You need someone who can lead and inspire as well as ensure that the managers tactics are delivered on the pitch (ideally we would have 3/4 leaders doing this but one would be a start).There seem to be 3 candidates Hux - does try and keep things going but is impact limited as isolated on the wing? Tends toget hot headed so not ideal.Shacks - starting to show some leadership skills and is centrally positioned, but will be undermined with flem as a partner, who seems the top dog in the team, OK without him? Is immature and yet to play more than 20 consecutive games so question marks over consistency and ability to see a season out linger despite battling performances.Safri - if only he was a bit more vocal he would be perfectly placed to pull the organisational as well ball playing strings.None are ideal with Shacks a longer term possibility or maybe Safri in the short term... Perhaps it will be the short term loan signing!OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Salopian 1 Posted September 1, 2005 Is Flem a failure as captain and defence organiser as well?If this is so, and he is dropped, perhaps there should be two figures - one to organise the defence, and the best candidate is probably Shackle, the other someone with experience and commitment, and Charlton seems the best candidate if he plays. But what happens if/when Drury returns?The most inspirational chracter could be Safri, given that new midfielders will have a job to get back into the side. For captain we need someone who is sure of his place. This rather rules out most except Ashton Green and Hux!No wonder the team is in a mess! No outstanding players except the ones I have mentioned.

Northern Canary 0 Posted September 1, 2005 Greeno perhaps - he went absolutley mental at Charlton or Flem (couldnt see which) at Stoke when we conceeded the first goal. Safri - our best player at the moment and hes always solid.McVeigh - dont know why i suggested that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
