New Captain

[Hammdog2601]

Anyone have any idea when we will know the new captain? Who is in the running?

At this stage it's not important as the chosen one might not get in the side! :~D

Can only really be Gowling IMO, leaves Young (who I would think is in with a shout) to play football without the burden. It probably doesn't matter who's wearing the armband, it would be pleasing to see leaders all over the park this season, something we haven't had for a while.

The keeper would be a good shout for me

Anyone but Gowling getting it would be a bit of a surprise at this stage; not that I think it matters too much anyway. There's probably two or three more players who could also fulfill the role more than adequately.

I think Gowling or Mcginty. Gowling for experience but Nico did praise Gints for his leadership last year and it could help him mature like it did with Gus and we could get good money out of him

Will Kevin Nicholson have two roles for a Club Captain and a Team Captain? Barrow succesfully employed this captaincy structure under Darren Edmondson's management.

No indication that Kev has plans to allow us more than one bog standard Captain. But dreaming up a title for various players (Luke Young, 'Captain of Midfield Industry' ?) does seem to be getting more popular. Boreham Wood trumpeted their appointment of a handful of Captains today: Boreham's Various Captains

Still looks a little like overkill for non-league, but whatever suits the individual club. Very much expecting to see Josh Gowling wearing the armband on Saturday, assuming he's fit enough to participate.
