Works his nuts off. Often starts the high press that we’re trying to use and has more ability on the ball than anyone in the squad. He could definitely weigh in with more goals though, that area seems to be seriously lacking at the moment In terms of Captain, it’s been mentioned here before that it’s not just about shouting and balling on a match day. A proper Captain is the one who sets the standards in training and in the changing room, he’s the one player the manager can trust to act as a sort of go between, between himself and the playing staff when needed. To be succesful as a team you need on field leaders of which we have a couple but also a resilient Captain who when he speaks the players listen.
The Bähre captaincy seems to mirror modern day society a bit. If you look at the world's leading companies and corporations, particularly in the tech industry, you don't get the older and experienced tub thumpers in senior management positions anymore. More often than not they're now young and leading by example rather than screaming and shouting. Not that we really have many tub thumpers in the squad, if any, Cam is about as close as it gets I think. It's different of course, it's football not business. I could be talking ********, but I definitely think that some of the old rules regarding what makes a good captain don't apply anymore.
Thought that he did well. I'd always want Mowatt back in though if he's fit. Gives DS a but of a headache ahead of Tuesday as Chaplin and Woodrow built up a nice partnership so I've no idea what he'll do if Mowatt is available.
I do but that’s not much use when I’m wanting to read how the game went & who played well. Never read as many different opinions on one match
Was told 18 months ago how many championship teams were watching Ben Williams at Blackburn. Was really buzzing when we signed him I think there's a player in there but needs time. I don't think some fans give players enough time.
David Platt started at Crewe Bahre starting at Barnsley he is a hell of a player. Give him time he will prove his 150k fee well spent
