He rarely makes any runs from deep these days anyway. Fuck same. Had the same discussion years ago about sticking hodson behind him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number5 2,287 Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 I said before 55 that we'd never win a title with Tav as captain. Was wrong but the situation with Covid made things different. He's a shite captain. He's a good guy and probably a big personality in the dressing room. The type of captain that is more of a positive personality around the group as opposed to one youd go to the trenches with and will put the fear into you. If you want a captain that has a special handshake for you then Tavs the man. He doesnt give himself the armband though and hes been the captain under 6 or so managers...

MrMckee 3,483 Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Interested to see if clement changes it up. Think we will stick with tav this season and hopefully he is moved on next season and a new captain in place... real boydie9 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
holdnudgehold 59 Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Will be interesting. I wonder if he has a gauge of the fans feelings on this. Think he's nothing to lose by changing it up and would get a positive response. I'm not a tav hater but the over reliance on certain players we've had for years just has to stop.

Albertz85 1,359 Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Cant see who else you could make a captain. Lot of shouts for Butland but always felt you want your captain an outfield player in the thick of it Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont have a problem if he does change it , but I'm not sure you make these big decisions the minute you walk in the door in case it alienates some of the squad .

MattyBlue 17,675 Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 id guess he would/base base who gets the armband on what he sees in training this week? It can’t be tav anyway, clement needs to make a statement, and honestly we need to fuck tav off next summer.. I’m done with him crazy bob swollenbaws, JackAlex93 and BridgeIsBlue 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m done with him I agree we need a new captain and would be looking to move tav and the rest of the Gerrard era players on. Time is up there. The only issue is don't really see anyone in the current team I'd say is a standout for the Captaincy. Manager will hopefully see someone that stands out.

I get your point and there's always a risk, but again if he's taken a gauge of the fans feelings as I said I think it's time to start ripping up the old habits.

He's not going to bin Tav as it would rock the boat to much but Buttland all day long for captain. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
left winger 15,619 Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 There’s no obvious replacement for Tav, so I don’t see any value in him making a decision like that. Having a good start to his career with us doesn’t make Butland a captain.

bluenoz 32,520 Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Tav to remain captain. As expected I suppose. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bears r us 31,349 Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 While I think Tav does need replaced as captain at some point, I do not think it would be a sensible thing to do until at least the new year. The manager needs time to asses everything about the team as it is now, he will do what he needs to do in time. BlueKnight87 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
