Captain

[Yorkclaret]

Should Josh Brownhill leave for pastures new. Who do you think should captain the team.

[dougcollins]

I'm not sure how important this is.

There are always on the pitch captains who are not the official captain.

[wilks_bfc]

We’ll need 11 captains on the field every game next season

[dougcollins]

Pretty much my point.

[taio]

An important role. As things stand, I imagine Cullen. If not, Esteve. Worrall would be the obvious choice based on leadership qualities alone, but doubt he'll play enough.

[Hedontplayforyou]

Cullen will more than likely take the armband .

[Shadybutt]

Soucek

[No Ney Never]

Should JB leave, Ashley Barnes for club captain.

[Newcastleclaret93]

Got to imagine

Barnes will be club captain with Cullen likely being on the field captain

I disagree. One captain is what we need. He may have deputies but the role of the captain is probably undervalued and it is vital that we play to his directions and guidance. Who's going to listen to who if there are multiple captains?

[BurnleyFC]

Cullen.

The more 'captains' on the field the better. Yes, there has to be someone wearing the armband so they talk to the referee, but players get much more detailed and timely instruction from the manager and coaches during the game these days, especially during the frequent injury 'timeouts' we have in modern football, rather than relying on an on-field captain to maintain the formation and tactics given in the team talk.

[Tribesmen]

Cullen is the man for the job

[ClaretTony]

Cullen - can’t see it going to anyone else.

Cullen the obvious choice, should Brownhill be lost.

[Pearcey]

Has to be Cullen.

[RickyBobby]

What is all of this “Should Brownhill leave”?
He has left. He is no longer employed by the club as of today. He has left. One day he may come back (and I doubt it will be anytime soon if he ever does), but as of now he is no longer at the club.

But at the time of every post prior to yours he was still employed by BFC and was, allegedly, signing a new deal.

Josh Cullen. Model professional.

[bobinho]

I’d argue it should be someone else even if he DOES stay…

[The Shire Claret]

Cullen all day long but I hope JB stays (yes I’m aware his contract has expired) but it’s still staying

[Burnleyareback2]

Suspect Cullen as well but it’s been a while since we had what I would call a traditional skipper- Pender, Shackell, Caldwell, even Heaton but I prefer an outfield player.

[Guppyspotter]

Was Brownhill being offered too short a contract for his liking?

[ClaretTony]

It’s every much an off field role as it is on field, probably even more so. The respect the players had for Caldwell & Heaton made them perfect for the role.

[LincsWoldsClaret]

Cullen or Worrall

That would make the pre-match coin toss a bit chaotic.

[Big Vinny K]

That would make the pre-match coin toss a bit chaotic.

Not if they all did rock, paper, scissors 15 minutes before kick off every time to ascertain who is going to go up for the toss. It could be based on an elaborate knockout basis or possible group games followed by knockout (though they may need to start earlier).

It just needs planning really.

[taio]

Might need reviewing

[KernowHouseClaret]

Think we may have a new captain in our midst

[gawthorpe_view]

Kyle Walker.

[Claretitus]

Kyle Walker.

All day long.

[Elizabeth]

Soucek

Will Walker do?

[ISpeds00]

Walker WILL be made captain 100%

[CyrilEbokiPoh]

I think Cullen still.
