Interesting that he mentions that he might have 2 names, which
suggests he could pick someone who'll be away on International
duty, with a Deputy who'll not be called up. Robshaw & Horwill
spring to mind as proven leaders who'd fit the bill...

Might also suggest that Horwill is not 100% and likely to remain
crook for some time. Generally a lack of leadership options and
hangover from previous management.
Robshaw and Ward (if he's going to cover h00ker/7 again)? Might
need three....

I think Ward might be lucky to make the side.

I certainly hope Ward will be lucky to make the side.
Recruitment of a team that can really compete has failed
dismally, if he is anything higher than third-choice option.

Really hope not Ward - love having him at the club but really
want him to be on the bench most of the season.

New Guv'nor, new captain seems to be the rule. Will be
interesting to see what he sees in the squad, having spent time
with them. Robshaw is still the obvious choice for experience,
but will be interesting to see how this pans out.

Thinking after some of the comments about Care in pre season and
leading from the front, he is another option.

I'm putting my money on a Mike Brown/James Chisholm combo...

who could be captain
1 no
2 possible but no standout h00ker certain of place
3 no
4/5 yes but only Horwill fits the bill, and last season he
didn't impress me with leadership
6,7 & 8 only Robshaw is leadership material and guaranteed a
place but again only for part of season
9 no
10 no
12, 13 possible but no stand out candidates
11, 14 no
15 Possible but not the best position and Browney likely to be
away he is an on field leader anyway so again a no
So I understand Gustards problem lots of good players but not
certain who is first choice in each position hopefully Gustard
knows.
so only Horwill and Robshaw are strong candidates but might be a
left field choice but doubt it
