I'm not convinced that Gabby is captain material but there's not really any other choice in the current team.

I’d rather him concentrate on scoring some goals rather than the captaincy but then again who else could have done it, Given maybe?

He's not ideal, but he is Villa, and the players should get behind him easier knowing that, anybody else just wouldn't carry that weight, and a good few are probably sounding out there agents anyway.

He was captain on Saturday,didnt notice him leading by example,Collins would probably been a better choice.

The correct decision, IMO.

I thought he should have got it last Summer. But I suppose it doesn't mean much.

Glad he's been chosen again of Dunne and Collins though. Hopefully it means they're surplus to requirements in the Summer.

It must be for his well spoken manner and off the cuff quips to placate the media at the post matchg press conferences.

It matters very little in reality.  It might mean something if Gabby relishes the role and picks his game up accordingly.

The ideal captain would be Cuellar if he was fit.  Will he be fit for Saturday?
