Reading around the messaging board some people have intimated that they favour John McGinn for captain.
I have seen he has captained Scotland national team on occasions.
However I feel Mings is a natural for this.

The rotating captains would allow for more shared responsibility around the team regard labelled leadership
Taylor Heaton Grealish Elmo and maybe Hourihane all of the more wise and experienced have left us.
Young and Ings have come in so that gives us leaders as well as quality

I love McGinn, but definitely Mings for me. He is everything you could want from a captain.

I sense that Footy is relishing this.
It's called schadenfreude.

McGinn is not guaranteed a starting place for me.  Too inconsistent, although I love his energy and unseen work. I like to see someone who talks a lot and organises the team and players around him.

I was thinking this would be comprehensive when I voted. Probably not 47 votes to Mings and 1 to everyone else comprehensive, but there you are Deano.

Also McGinn is still fool hardy when it comes to tackling and getting cautioned.
Liability in that sense. And agree he's one for rotating.
Mings is a main stay

He's been our leader for three years. Jack's a great player, a talisman, but he's not a captain, in my book. Tyrone is a brilliant defender, a natural leader, and a gentleman, who stands out for his intelligence. He's my favourite player, and has been since we first took him on loan.

Kings is the natural choice, however Konsa would be my deputy for sure.

Not even a debate for me. Tyrone Mings is all you could ever want in a captain.

Thinking about it Mings is going to be leader like anyway. Giving it someone else might give someone a shot I'm the arm. SJM maybe?

I went for Douglas Luiz.

I didnt mean to, I just wanted to see how many votes he'd got and then seemed to cast one for him by mistake. But it might do him good to get a bit of added responsibility?

Great to see the humour around these parts on a somewhat bleak day. Good one!
