Who to replace Widdop as captain?

[Dragonsdiehard]

I'm wondering who'll they appoint to captain with Widdop out injured?
Graham is passionate and a senior player but there's more to captaining than passion/seniority and what do you do when he's being rested?
My other thoughts would be McInnes or possibly Hunt.
Any thoughts anyone?

I personally would probably go for Graham and Hunt as co-captains, particularly with Frizell injured and De Belin gone. It's hard to give an informed opinion without knowing what these guys are like off the field and how the other players respond to them.

Definite no brainer FRIZELL HE IS OUR LEADER HANDS DOWN

 

[rednwhites]

Frizell or Tariq.

 

[Number of the Beath]

It has to be Jimmy Graham, imo.

 

[Frank Facer]

I would pick Tariq or Graham. I think Mary may pick McInnes.

 

[watatank]

McInnes will be captain, maybe when Frizell returns they will share the captaincy role

 

[SaintPauli]

Friz and Taric
So gutted for Widdop.

 

[Saint_JimmyG]

McIdiot will choose McInnes.

My choice would be Graham just over T.Sims and Frizell respectively,

 

[SUNNYDRAGON]

I think an 80 minute player like halves or hooker would be best Graham not on field long enough

 

[dragon thomo]

Tariq or Tyson would be my choicr. James Graham will play the same without the Capt and also it is most likely his last year. I would not give it to Hunt as i just want to concentrate on his own game.
Just on Widdop it might be a blessing as it was painfull to watch to many ball players in one side. Also with Widdop now gone we will get some extra speed which was so evident we lacked last night

Lol, Hunt? The guy had a great game but he’s proven to struggle under pressure and is a confidence player to the core, captaincy would overwhelm him!

Tariq? Y’all don’t seem to know what the captaincy requires! He’s a beast and a forward leader, that does not equal captain. Doesn’t have the composure and TBH, it would take away from his ‘enforcer’ status.

McInnes is a worthy option, as is Friz. Graham can be a leader without the (c) as he isn’t a long minute nor long term player at the moment.

 

[muzby]

Given Frizz still has ice on his balls for another month, I’d put the (c) next to Graham.

McInness to step up when big red is in the shed.

 

[Jersey No 14]

Hunt - No Question

Cam

Loved how he lead the team song

 

[True_Believer]

McInness without a doubt.

 

[BLM01]

This forum has all been done last year but I will stick by Sims...he leads by example and he talks it up.
All the others mentioned are too quiet and retreat in their shell and Graham does not want it

 

[Blood Shot Eyes]

I'd go with young Lomax......it may get him a game or two.

It has been well reported in posts on this forum that Mary's preference is for McInnes to captain the side in 2020. In my humble opinion, T Sims would be the best choice with maybe McInnes as the VC.

McInnes by a mile he is there for the full 80 and is inspirational
