Not big or physical enough to do that role and hasn't played that way. 

 

He's a textbook 6 that should absolutely replace Winks in the squad. By all means go out and get another, but that's where Braybrooke should play.

We need a proper club captain as no present players up to it. Once on the pitch players need to adapt to opposition tactics as the managers influence is limited. Senior players on the pitch see what is happening around them and can sort junior players out at any level. Last season the captain, Riccardo, had very  little on field influence,seeing Hamza pick up the captain's armband filled me with dread. We need strong characters all over the pitch as in the Premier League winning season.

Now we have a manager, go and get a proper captain, a leader that will fit Martin's system. This should be the first priority as we have a weak bunch of pathetic bozos and someone needs to make the accountable this season 

They wouldn’t be glamorous signings, but captains don’t have to be.

 

I’d seriously be looking at players like Ricardo Santos(Swansea), Frankie Kent and Ben Osborn who are both now free agents.

 

All have experience at this level, Santos and Kent have both been captains/vice captains at previous clubs. Think @moore_94 mentioned that Osborn captained Stockport on a few occasions last season, also versatile, so could potentially play an inverted role that Russell Martin is usually keen on.
