..That johnson will deffinately be the captain this year. Stood watching him at training today, and it was like he was the manager! Although davey was always shouting alot. But the players were putting crosses in at each side of the pitch to pairs of strikers, davey was in the middle and johnson all way from right hand side was shouting over davey to the left hand side and telling other players what to do and how not to play, and having a go at them for kicking the ball in air, saying "What you playing at, get it on the floor!" which surely as to be a good thing. Only problem is that he seems to lack abit of pace, so maybe wont be playing all the time. Anyway just thought id tell you all what i knew and give a little opinion.
Davey Said........ Reid would probably stay captain for the new season on the official website last week or week before. I hope the signing of Johnson doesn't mean Togwell gets dropped to the bench (N) (N) (N)
RE: Davey Said........ Maybe Howard will spend a few away games starting on the bench.</p> Safety 1st and all that. </p> That tactic worked a dream last season.</p>
Based on the Morecambe game... ... I'd certainly start with Togwell rather than Johnson! In fact, I'd start McCann in front of him also. Still, early days so hopefully AJ will improve as he settles in more. Maybe Davey will give him a start at Buxton tomorrow night and play him for the whole 90 minutes. Hope so, as I'll be there...! As for Paul Reid, personally - unless/until the club sign another centre-half - I think he's got to start every game. He may have his faults but he's a lot better player than many folk give him credit for, and I'd rather see him in the centre of our defence than Bruma, again based on Morecambe. I'm not sure either Bruma/Hassell or Kozluk/Hassell will work as our central defenders. Atkinson/Hassell might, although Rob, whilst a good prospect in my view, is still inexperienced.

Today in both trainings mostto looked good, hes a great finisher! take my word for it, and he is actually quite fast - although davey said he wasnt, and isnt bad at headin either. Him and davey were cracking a few jokes out too, and hes aways smiling.
Might be Howard </p> I am pretty sure Howie has been made captain. Might give him the impetousgain some consistancy</p>
RE: Might be Howard Could always have both a club captain (eg Reid) and a team captain (eg Howard/Johnson). Good political solution
Could be that. Got a feeling with all talking he does it could be Johnson as team captain though, But i suppose we'll soon find out anyway. Anyone know why Paul reid wasnt at training today by the way?
