Has Terry shown any leadership as Captain, so far this season?

Based on what Bruce just said about him driving himself to Colchester and going into changing room to shake the young players' hands, yes.

I'll be honest. I'm more concerned with what he brings on the pitch. I've not seen much in the way of progress. In fact, defensively, we look poorer than we did most of last season.

I was expecting more.

He looks uncomfortable to me, Aftab. He's certainly not living up to his 'legend, leader etc etc' tag.

Right,back to bed, and up at 9 for work. We didn't lose. That's always a plus after getting up at 3:45am to watch the game.

Liability. Chester is still by far our best defender. Bree did well tonight too I thought once he was on.

He looks a bit adrift from his fellow defenders.   I think it could be he is used to working with a very well drilled team.

He was always very well protected at Chelsea with good players in front and beside him. He won't get that protection with us and with age against him will get exposed time and time again. He does however' bring a winning mentality', whatever use that is.

Looks a bad decision already, as many of us feared it would be.  Think we would have been far better looking at someone like Roberts who Blues signed or Flint from Bristol City.
