It has nothing to do with tossing the coin and having a photograph with the referee.It is about leadership on the pitch. It is about bollocking lazy players, calming down nervous ones, restraining angry players' it is about showing fight when we go goals down and not letting heads drop. It is about sorting out set pieces and not letting inexperienced players get carried away (a good example being Marc Albrighton taking a quick sloppy short throw in injury time when it should have been bombed into the box) it is about expressing fair views to the referee when clearly wrong calls have been made. It is about making sure the players acknowledge the travelling fans and do not just slink off down the tunnel. It is about showing bravery and commitment when all those about him are not up for the fight. It is about telling Downing the basic truth that he is much more likely to get hurt bottling tackles than making them,Those are just a few reasons we need a captain and we would be a better side for having somebody who could do those things.
So many knowledgeable viewpoints.
Wrong decision Collins is rubbish
He is our best centre midfielder.
