Captain Next Season - poll added

[Villa in Denmark]

Clark.

Consistent performer, should be a nailed on starter, plays like he actually gives a shit and he's had the armband before.

[montague]

Ciaran Clarke could develop into an outstanding centre half and captain and should be the heart of the team now.

No coincidence that a number of us on here a few years ago were saying that Clark would make a great captain of the club eventually, and given a little time and patience it seems that's where he's got to right now.
I would have plumped for Delph a month or so ago because he's older, more experienced, an England international and gives his all, has played consistently well for the last 18 months and signed a 4 year contract when he could have jumped ship.
However, since signing the contract he seems to have almost disappeared and be playing well below the level that we, and his team-mates I should think, have come to expect. He needs to lead by example...Gabby has failed miserably at this; Clark has excelled!
I hope Delph can get his arse back in gear pronto...we need him and his leadership skills on the pitch.

I'd let Ron go.

I agree it should be Ciaran Clark in Vlaar's absence. The only other other potential option other than those mentioned is Ashley Westwood - I think he captained Crewe for a while but looks like he may not start under Tim Sherwood.

Clark. I think he talks the most on the pitch anyway.

[Monty]

Guzan or Given, whichever one is playing. Not normally a fan of keepers as captains, but they're our two most experienced and reliable players IMO.

[rob_bridge]

Delph for me.

Still too soon for Clark.

[walsall villain]

Delph please

[OCD]

Clark's certainly knocking at the door but for someone who people were talking about discarding a few months ago, making him captain at a time when we're fighting for our lives is a bit too much. I would say Delph for now with Westwood and Clark possibilities for next season.

[Dave]

Depends on which division we find ourselves in.

Delph if we stay up.

Clark or Westwood if we go down.

[brian green]

If he shaves that stupid beard off, Baker.   Heart of a lion, brain of an ant, perfect combination for a Villa captain.

[Malandro]

Delph

[Goldie.7]

I don't get all this new praise for Clark, we are 19th in the league having lost our last 6 consecutive games.

Delph has been truly dreadful since signing a new deal.

Neither of them for me.

They've all been quite awful. Delph, however,  has shown true loyalty. Clark close second.

[The Left Side]

Delph or Clark for me.
