That's not a good reason to get the captaincy. Nor a good reason to deny someone the captaincy. He was a poor captain. He never had it in him to grab a game by the balls if it wasn't going our way.
We need our captain to be someone who can command respect from the rest of the team, and influence a game and pick the players up if things are going bad.
I honestly saw more of that in Tav towards the end of the season than I ever have in Wallace.
