Jarhead Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 If it was based on on the pitch performance then 100% Smith. You have to consider off the pitch as well. Who is the big character? Who is the leader of the gang? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulHartley10 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 The players can't be looking to the stand for their captain. You can guarantee Naismith will be injured again before the end of the season. Michael Smith for me. He's the one as a fan that I've been looking to in these dark times and he's delivered. Deserves it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jarhead Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I think it’s interesting that for an underperforming team we have at least 4 serious candidates to be captain. I’ll take that as a positive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haken Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 If the armband adds £s to a fee, then Souttar. Personally, I'd favour Smith. Naismith doesn't need the armband to do what he does. A bit early for Halkett, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDSK Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Naismith for me. None of the other three can feel aggrieved it wasn’t them if Naismith is made captain.

Don't really think it matters too much who is captain to be honest. Stendel seems very good at the psychological side of things and , I'm sure , he'll appoint the right person . I have my own views on CL's time as manager (in other words not getting drawn into debates with irrational radges) but we desperately needed the mindset changed . Think DS is doing this in spades . Imo much more important than new signings . As is , of course , half the team returning from injury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ribble Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Halkett or Souttar for me, Smith and Naismith play and act like captains and give 100% anyway, Halkett and Souttar improve when given the armband! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnasher75 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Smith will be committed regardless. Souttar and Halkett are both still young so won't expect it. Giving it to Naismith would be a shrewd choice. Not only does he have the leadership qualities but it should make him feel the responsibility of giving his all for the club, 100% 24/7.
