There should be captains all over the pitch.

I was groaning every time the ball was played to Mee.

His first touch allows the man pressing to get closer, and besides his lumping (long ball/hoof) isn't very good.

And that's not just today.

Let's not have Mee as a scapegoat for this. Dyche is so predictable every team we play knows our tactics. It is the same week in week out, when a team comes to terms with how to nullify us we could have Keane Viera Robson etc but what would it change ?

Did you not see the ball played to Tarky from Lowton for the third goal? I were coaching my 9 year olds not to play passes like that last week.

There's vast PL experience in every unit - back to front - really don't think that the lack of a strong or dominant captain (even if that is the case) is something that should be of major concern.

Of course everything is not as it should be - but don't see the perceived lack of a 'captain' as the primary issue.

Looking at the current squad don't see anyone better equipped than Ben Mee and unless it's possible to clone Joey Barton don't see a new (January) signing coming in and assuming that mantle.

Yes shocking.

We're so predictable when we have the ball at the back.

Very few options in front of them either.
