lush Posted 27 July 2005 Posted 27 July 2005 Seeing as many arnt happy with Tia Tia tiatto, choose from this list and lets see who were most happy with?
Sparky Posted 27 July 2005 Posted 27 July 2005 my skipper would be maybury , seems quite vocal on the pitch and would lead by his performance . being a regular starter is also a big advantage
lookwhaticando Posted 27 July 2005 Posted 27 July 2005 If we want our Captain to be the Captain for the next 10 years then Maybury is probably a good place to start, I think he'd make a good captain now and an even better one as he gets closer to his 30s. Another option might be Douglas - he's older and more experienced than most of the players, and as goalkeeper he has a vital role to play himself bossing the defenders around. Just a thought. Tiatto is continuing as Captain this year, right?
lush Posted 27 July 2005 Author Posted 27 July 2005 douglas, no way. im beginning to think maybury is a good enough choice. i think kornisbo will be captain come november time, when hes accerted himself in our game.
Durnerz Posted 27 July 2005 Posted 27 July 2005 Dion for me at the moment, he seems to sort things out well.
Scow Posted 27 July 2005 Posted 27 July 2005 Interesting that Maybury has 19 votes so far. I think he would make a good captain, although, I think Dublin is the only natural leader we have at our disposal the moment. Davieg mentioned in another thread that Dublin gesticulates a lot with his hands to hide his mistakes, which I don't think is the case. I think he is genuinely someone who wants to encourage and lead by example.

lush Posted 28 July 2005 Author Posted 28 July 2005 Do you think he'll ever play? 145758[/snapback] cant see why not.
Sparky Posted 28 July 2005 Posted 28 July 2005 tiatto suspended for 1st game so maybe maybury will get a chance
Scow Posted 28 July 2005 Posted 28 July 2005 Too short term. 145759[/snapback] Maybe, but the point still remains that he's the only natural leader we have at this moment in time.

Perhaps the club will provide him with a one-way radio so he can continue to bollock stewart even though he now plays for Watford. Im not Dublins biggest fan.
pink_flamingo Posted 28 July 2005 Posted 28 July 2005 how old is maybury, you have to have some experience to be captain, so i would say dion or tiatto, after all they are bold
Anish Posted 28 July 2005 Posted 28 July 2005 Experience is overrated in some situations. Last season's squad was full of experience but was diabolical. Just because Dion has the most experience it doesn't give him an automatic right to be captain. We need somebody who the fans can relate to, and who can motivate and inspire his teammates.

pink_flamingo Posted 29 July 2005 Posted 29 July 2005 i no it isnt about popularity, but when they called out mayburys name on the pa, i was lik 'WHO?' i didnt have a clue who he is, but dublin and tiatto, i knew of them before they got to leicester
lush Posted 29 July 2005 Author Posted 29 July 2005 Call yourself a city fan pink? Maybury is better than those 2 put together, how could you not heard of them, bizare.

supedaj Posted 29 July 2005 Posted 29 July 2005 Maybury maybe a better player technically and is crucial to us at this stage but I doubt he's a ready captain just yet. He's very hard working, puts in a good tackle, good crossing and distriibutes well - this doesnt necessarilty mean he's the best to organise and motivate the team. Dublin may be older and may not have the legs for all the matches this season but i'd have him hands down for the captains role. Fans may be upset with his technical ability but lifting a team when its down and leading by example is some of the qualities Dublin can definitely provide, especilly with so many younger players this season. I know its not long term, but would give the short term fix to allow someone else (i.e. Maybury) to grow into a leaders role without having too much pressure. We are starting to expect too much from Maybury - dont forget he's still a fairly new recruit.. and dropping all the responsibilities onto him at such an early stage may not be a good idea. Experience doesnt always help and rightly so too much of it will have a negative effect as we saw last season. But this season the whole team has changed and the style will be v different. We will need our very few older heads to help steady the ship when times are bad and help keep youngers feet on the ground when times are good.
lush Posted 29 July 2005 Author Posted 29 July 2005 Tiatto [ 9 ] [10.98%] Johansson [ 10 ] [12.20%] Maybury [ 30 ] [36.59%] Connolly [ 3 ] [3.66%] Dublin [ 12 ] [14.63%] Douglas [ 1 ] [1.22%] Sylla [ 0 ] [0.00%] Hughes [ 0 ] [0.00%] Gerrbrand [ 2 ] [2.44%] Williams [ 3 ] [3.66%] Kisnorbo [ 0 ] [0.00%] McCarthy [ 10 ] [12.20%] Wesolowski [ 2 ] [2.44%] Just wana see what its like when i get back, comparered to now.
Proud_Jambo Posted 29 July 2005 Posted 29 July 2005 Maybury was vice captain at Hearts. In terms of organisation, all I can say is we seemd to suffer defensively after he left us. We missed (miss) him much more than De Vries or Kisnorbo.
