Thoughts on a new captain
- Thread starter Revived Red
- Start date
I would like to offer the name of Bryan Hughes, reward him with an 18 month contract and offer him the captaincy with Sean hessey as vice captain
For me it has to be Sean hessey!!Coley will know which player commands the respect of the dressing room - in my ignorance of only half dozen southern away games per season, I would lean towards Outbacks opinion, provided a couple of years regular appearances is a realistic scenario. Whoever gets the job gets my vote of confidence and best wishes (bringing back sunbeds may be another option ).
For me I always think a ball winning midfielder is always a natural for captaincy roles and to those ends I would go for Luke Joyce to fill the void.
Murph it is then.........................I can go wi that, but whoever coley nominates will do fer me.
Ian Craney is vice-captain, so I think it would only right for him to become our new leader on the pitch. He influences games and is a great character within the squad, not to mention his history with the club. I can't think of anyone else who would be more suitable.
Dean Winnard or Luke Joyce for vice.

Captain Craneys' Column -th'observer'd be made up!
Yes but how many games has he actually influenced in the last 12 months...................
12 months? Really? Unless you were on Mars from last January through to May, you would have seen Craney come into the squad and catalyse our push for the play-offs with countless influential appearances and some fantastic goals. Sure, he struggled for form as this season began and just as his match fitness was improving suffered a freak injury taking him out of action for a while. But the facts remain: Craney was vice-captain to Procter, has a long history with this club and is always mentioned by players as an important character in the dressing room. That's not even mentioning the effort he's put in to getting back into the team from his injury. The guy has determination and a will-to-win that is unrivaled in this squad, in my opinion. I can't believe people are thinking of anyone else for captain, personally, but I guess that's football.
Craney, its simple to me,whilst i take the point about match fitness, if he scores 2 crackers,like against Oldham last week,that'll do fer me, end of the day were a small club (Non-League) in wi the big boys, 11x 100%ers aint good enough,yeh need summat extra to advance n craneys got that. imho.
Totally agree cashy
I can quite easily............ Yes the man did well when he returned last xmas, you tell me the last time he was 100......... YES 100% fit...... I would say 12 months ago at least. His ego is as big as Joey Barton's, and its no-coincidence that since he hasnt played and Hughes has come in we have rocketed up the league. Determination, will to win...... Every player that Coleman picks has this (with maybe the exception of Wes earlier in the season).
Oh and would appreciate it if you would stop ripping off my taglines and stories in your blog and column.
Excuse me? Everything I write is all mine thank you very much. I don't need to rip anything off from anyone, not least you. I don't even read anything you might do. The last thing I read was some SkySports thing last season that I was less than impressed with so trust me, I have absolutely no desire to rip anything off of yours.
Before each deadline I sit and write everything from scratch using only a blank Word document and the match stats. I'd appreciate it if you apologised and took that back because you are bang out of order and extremely insulting.
fight, fight, fight
