Too young, inexperienced and prone to error at the moment.

Ian Royal Not sure, but Harper should be deputy. Still don't get the Ivar as captain thing.

Whoever it is they have to be reasonably expereinced and intelligent, which rules out virtually all of our squad unfortunately.

Looking above, I was think Armstrong, but didn't want to say as he's relatively new. But I'd be happy for him to get it.


I still don't get the Harper thing. It's like giving the village idiot the job of governing the country. He isn't a leader. He's a great character, but never a captain.


Harper isn't half as stupid as people make out, or as he sometimes portrays himself, and he has that desire and enthusiasm for the game that the squad needs.

He is the main organiser though, but I'm not sure he is actaully a natural or comfortable leader. It's difficult to tell from such a distance.

nickbob_sexypants Why not Jay Tabb? From the last few games he looked like someone who would lead by example by getting stuck into the game. Wasnt he also the Coventry captain when he was signed?


Good point. Yeah if he gets the starts he could be a very good captain and has good bravery.

However the only reason I wouldn't put him as a top contender is that he is relatively new to the club


New manager, new Captain.. I think Jay Tabb could be a decent shout, the fact he is a recent signing could be a good thing.

I don't think Tabb will be a automatic selection for the starting eleven next season and so it would be difficult to name him captain.

Same can be said for just about any of the current squad though, but then as we're going to have quite a big turnover of players in the summer it's a bit of a daft conversation in the first place!

I think Tabb could be a main player for us next season and is a strong candidate
