From the presser, Sam confirmed that puncheon will lead us out against wba. I thought a new captain was needed. My personal choice would of been macca. The captaincy seem to affect dann performances. Is this the right decision?

Andy Johnson Magic, He wears a Magic Hat
When he Sees the match ball, he says he having that
He scores one with left foot, he scores one with his right
And When his playing Brighton, He scores all f***ING Night!

Macca by the looks of it isn't going to be a starter and very rarely finishes matches anyway.

I don't really care who's captain, what's stranger is how he seems to be infront of mcarthur for a starting place.Thought he done well last week but let's be honest he's not on the same level as mcarthur.

Yes. He's not a traditional captain in the sense that he play further upfield and doesn't flatten opponents with a tackle and he was a bit immature in his younger years. But he's the best talker we have, knows all the tricks of the trade. He's perhaps not the ideal candidate like Jedinak was but he's got more about him than Dann. Slightly confused at all the people calling for McArthur because he doesn't talk a great deal.

Punch is keeping the captaincy! He relished the opportunity last week, motivated the players, spoke to the ref and players when required, organised situations, planning and play around him as well. Did a quality job.

Much better captaincy traits than Dann who obviously doesn't really like it is far to quiet and best left to get on with his own game.

Looks like SA might play the same team as last week but might he put Sako on the bench and bring him on for his physicality in the second half.

Jimmy Mac, whilst a consistent player for us, is far too meek to be a captain for the team.
