Ideally I'd like Sam to sort Dann out and get him to prove he deserves the captaincy.

Punch for me. Only trouble is that captaincy move may result in Dann transfer to another club. Is it not possible to share captaincy out across batches of games to key players so as to offer professional development?

Provided he's non playing captain

I would prefer a new captain but stripping Dann of the captaincy may damage his confidence, so I'm not sure if it would be a good thing for the whole team. However if a new captain is appointed, I would like it to be Damo as has real passion, fight and he seems to be someone who is constantly talking to other players and in some cases calming them down.

Flamini seems to be the only other leader inthe team to me.

Perhaps in a few years players like MacCarthur, Punch and maybe Wilf will devlop into better leaders. If Puncheon does ever become captain, he is goin to need to learn how to communicate and interact with fans better, at the moment he's a real misery

I take your points but would disagree. I think Dann has lost confidence already and the pressure of being captain has certainly contributed to that.

With regards to Delaney, I feel he is a poor decision maker and loses his head at times. That being said I am willing to concede that as captain there is a slight chance he can reign it in.

Puncheon has no chance, good player but no leadership qualities which I can see.

Macarthur for me is our most influential player as noted by how well we play with him in the team than when he isnt. I feel he is our talisman.

Needs to be someone who is an established long standing member of the team. Will never work in a million years if you basically bring someone in for the job. I would say delaney but as someone else has said he can be a bit hot headed and temperamental. However maybe the confidence and position given to him would rein that Side of his personality in a bit.

Leaders are not appointed - they are discovered. If there is not a suitable leader in the squad, we need to find one.

Flamini would be my choice if we'd changed, but I'd stick with Dann and see what Sam can do with him over the next few weeks.

 


Employee of the month is a good example of how someone can be both a winner and a loser at the same time.

i'm one of our own, giving my support at every game, passionate at every opportunity yet nobody has offered me the armband

Don't think the club have much choice, seems like we lack characters with any character?

Dann is fine and the stand out choice. Get a defence that knows what it's doing and is well drilled with good cover from diligent midfielders and he'll excel and be better than any other candidate. Taking it off him would just be a petty punishment for the failings of Pardew.

 


If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities.
