Poor decision, not a leader and he wouldn't even make my starting eleven.

Don't think he's a very good captain but if not him then who?

Agreed ^ but remain positive as he must have some kind of quality that we do not know about.

Don't think he's a very good captain but if not him then who? Fair point Sharky. I've said before that signing a new captain would have been my number one priority this summer; it would appear that the club don't base their transfer policy around my column in AKUTR's However, the ideal candidate may not be at the club yet and I'm not sure why the pressing need to announce this as yet. It is also worth considering that Bidwell was captain at Brentford last season.

I like Ned.
As a player he's generally solid, if prone to the occasional c*ck-up or misplaced pass. Oh, and he could be quicker.
Is he a leader on the field?
Can't say I've particularly noticed it - both Hill and Barton were much more inspirational - and vocal - during games.
I just get the impression that Ned's just too 'nice' to be captain.
So ho else could do the job?
Bidwell, although captain of Brentford, would be wrong. New player, doesn't know the setup or the players, coming in from local rivals... He may grow into it after year or two, but not now.
For me, out of the current crop, it would be Hall.

Bidwell is a proven captain.

Ned is our best defender - he captains by example - always gives 100% - and should be first on team sheet - remember his season with Dunne - he is class

Hall was miles ahead of him last season and when played at RB it's a shambles. Think I'd actually rather Lynch or Caulker over him at CB

Apparently Ned is on big wages too according to media.
There was only a few on more than him, Phillips, Fer and Hoillett who have gone. Leaving just Caulker and Sandro in front of him.
Im of the opinion after all these years, he aint no Captain. Needs to be more of a leader.
