Captain for this season

[Paddington Blue]

Who do we think MM will choose as he leader on the pitch ? Will he continue with Dieng or maybe look to the next generation (Elvis?) or go for a safe pair of hands such as JE ? Would be interested to hear if anyone has any insights or thoughts on who is our best option for next season. It feels to me we have lacked a strong on the pitch leader since AB left and this has been part of the reason for a downward spiral over the last few years. Who MM chooses could have a big influence for us this season

JW not JE !

It'll be Either JW, Demi or Oxley. I can see JW being club captain with Oxley stepping up when JW isn't in the squad

 

[Westcliff DGS]

Maybe JW but given 6 month contract i am going to say Harry Lennon or Demi if HL isnt fit for the start of the season.

Johnny White all the way. Lennon couldn't step up simply because of his incident last season, not a good example for the younger professionals. Dieng needs guidance from a leader, he's definitely not captain material himself.

 

[Lincoln Shrimp]

I think it would be wise for Molseley to give the captaincy to one of the new players we hopefully sign (embargo permitting)
It would signal a new dawn and to be honest I don't see any of our current crop as natural leaders.

I'm hoping that one of the players who might join us is the current Weymouth captain and holding midfielder Jake Mccarthy. He's been described as outstandingly consistent over the past 3 years and is still only 24 years old.

Personally I’d go with Demi, with JW as vice captain. I don’t see Elvis as captain, as he needs to concentrate 100% on continuing on improving his game, which he has done over the past season immensely.

Personally think thats in the past, and MM said clean slate for everyone. Don’t think he will get it but i do think he has attributes to be a good captain.

John White, without any shadow of a doubt.

Think with Demi, White and Lennon it’s whether they can stay fit and free from injury.

 

[Farmer Fossett]

JW or Demi but tbh I don't think it matters who the club Captain is.
There are not many Captains that have influence long gone are the days of Brian Robson etc.
I am starting to think that the position of Captain is irrelevant.

 

[amsemp]

Love John White but not sure I see him as captain material. We need an experienced ball winner in the middle of the park, in the mould of McCormack/Grant. If we can sign a player like that with those leadership qualities, it should go to them. This team has been crying out for a proper leader on the pitch for a long time.

 

[Strykr]

Hopefully a new midfield powerhouse.

failing that, john white.

 

[Bratislava Blue]

Demi definitely not. Too many flaws in his game. Game time puts White our of the equation in my opinion too. I think Dieng made a difference last season and should be considered.

 

[Westcliff DGS]

Think with Demi, White and Lennon it’s whether they can stay fit and free from injury.

Tend to agree, i think the fact JW only has a 6 month contract will be a negative point for his return as captain. He is the obvious choice otherwise (as long as MM sees him as a starter)

 

[Andy_S]

I never thought White was a captain when he was a captain. He’s not a leader, he’s far too quiet.

 

[Ricey]

Everyone saying John White, do you really see him starting every game? Especially with the fixture list going to be very congested. We need consistency so it needs to be someone playing week in week out.

I think it’s a bit early to be talking about a captain without Molesley having a chance to bring in any new players.

 

[bazzashrimper]

The fact that there isn’t one really good candidate speaks volumes about why last season was so difficult. Go sign some leaders Mark

 

[defender05]

See White more as a club captain but on the pitch there are no real leaders out there at the moment.
