Captaincy Chaos: Kaltak's Armband Controversy!

[midfielder]

My two cents... we miss Danny V who constantly directed the backs... we gave credit to BK and under appreciated the role Danny was doing organising him.

Owen goal maybe?

. to be fair Paull went close again last night ... he is well and truly still in with a chance of golden boot. maybe we need some Arnie style CB to striker hail mary

. Owen gave us nothing again last night ... and has been underperforming for weeks - needs to do better

I changed my vote from other guy just so I can vote other guy again. We have tried Kaltak as captain and it didn't work. If it's not Sains, it's should be Storm with Steely as 3rd option

Steele should not be in the starting 11 tbh.

THIS.

He is just not starting 11 quality for any team wishing to compete near the top of this league

It's just the one game.

Give it to Roux

To be honest Sains has been a very underwhelming captain. I’ve given him the Knick name Captain Yellow. He seems to want to get one every game. His stupid yellow yesterday is case in point. Knowing you are one card off a suspension why do that tackle on half way. I’d give it to someone else for the remainder of the season. Hasn’t seemed to inspire the young players at all.

Sainsbury has been an underwhelming signing in general. I wonder how much respect the rest of the team has for him. Nothing about him inspires me at all.

In an ideal world, i agree with you but unfortunately we all support the Mariners and as such we have have to take the shit with the miracle. Which means having a player that would be lucky to make the bench at any other club and selling anyone even remotely good for low $$

I feel a bit the same. Obviously experienced and can play but some things he's done as the captain have me scratching my head. Threw the subs under the bus in an earlier game we lost, happy to collect yellow cards and generally ( I could be reading too much into it ) doesn't seem to have too much camaraderie with the players around him. Wondering if this is also affecting BK?

Is it possible that his professionalism and standing in the game is way above the seemingly casual attitude of certain players around him?
He's been there and done that. The rest of the squad haven't.
I think he is a perfect choice and it's up to the others to match him not the other way around.
As captain, he didn't gift Wanderers 2 goals, he also didn't miss the chances.

I'm an each way bet on this one.

I'm fully for him based on his experience and standing in the game to set the standards and expect players to be busting a gut to meet them.

But as captain he has to lead them there.and he has to lead the senior players to set the example and uphold the standards.

This season there is no way he has met any standard that his standing in the game should be expected to meet.

You lose all credibility as captain if you hold others to a standard that you aren't meeting yourself.

Sains has always been that lay back person and often in his junior career coaches through he did not care.

Just maybe his lay back attitude in general is not what you want in a captain
