Great. McClueless makes our 6-goals-a-year striker undroppable. Cosmic!

Gabby is a legend.

A legend at what exactly?

Not his biggest fan but there isn't much choice for skipper at the moment.  The only senior pros available are him, Given, Collins, or, er, Emile and Warnock.   I'd love Gabby to surprise me and go on a scoring streak to the end of the season, starting at Vigil Park this weekend.  Sadly I can't see it happening.

Misread that as decent keeper.

Which I thought he was untill this season. Overated by the Geordie obsessed media, we should have known really as they were never famous for their defending. Probably one of the worst goalies we've had at dealing with crosses since Burridge. In the current atmosphere of 'blame it all on McLeish' he's got away with a few in recent weeks. 2 at Arsenal and another two corners on Saturday.

Gabby is a great guy, hard worker and villa through and through. He's the right man for the job at this time. However, I question his leadership skills, and don't truly know if he's captain material.

Hopefully this secures up his future, and puts the Sunderland rumors to rest. But, remember what happened when we gave Ash the armband..

Agreed, Given has looked a bit suspect in recent weeks but he is a very good keeper. I think he may be struggling with his confidence like a lot of our players at the moment.

I have full confidence in Shay. Top keeper.

Lack of leaders is one of the reasons we're in this fucking mess.

I love Gabby, but making him the skipper shows just how thin on the ground we are.

Poor decision in my opinion and a populist one, let's get them off my back by naming Gabby skipper.
Better candidates are Collins or Cuellar, or in fact anyone with an ounce of leadership qualities, which Gabby does not posess.
