    Bearing in mind that Lallana and Fonte are both out? Really close to call but I hope and plump for Morgan.

    Suppose I should clarify, the poll is who you want to be captain, not who you think is most likely. Just realised I probably should have put S. Davis on the poll too as he's N. Ireland international captain (oops!). No idea how to alter a poll so if you're voting for him hit 'other'.... At least I made some contingency right?!

    I couldn't help but notice that Morgan led the chat in the pre-match huddle against Arsenal anyway, despite Fonte being there. He's already acting like a captain and gets my vote.

    I think Schneiderlin is the most suitable, S.Davis would be the best choice overall but in and out of the team so not sure how much influence he would have, but I'd give it to Rickie for a couple games.

    I dont know how vocal Cork would be, but he's playing fantasticially right now and anything we could do to make him Saints to the core would be a good idea. So with that in mind, make him captain!

    Didn't Hooiveld wear the armband in a cup game earlier in the season?

    S Davis will be captain. He took the armband when Fonte went off on Saturday.

    I'd like Morgan but i'd add that it does seem to be the captain who keeps getting injured... :bandit:

    Cocked that up didn't I....I thought we had to chose between those that you had listed. As some has said Davis is the natural choice perhaps because of his experience. Lambert is passionate enough but he is or normally is in front of the team and I personally prefer some one leading from behind.

    I think Davis took over from Fonte when he went off on Saturday so it will probably be him if he plays. If not then Morgan.

    But Morgan was off the pitch when Fonte went off.

    We don't know whether Davis will start, I'd give it to Morgan or Rickie, if not then probably the flying dutchman.

    Probably Schneiderlin I guess but does it really matter?

    Morgan or Rickie, but I do think Steve Davis would be a natural choice as well.

    Makes the recipient feel proud and maybe play better...how about Boruc<laugh> I'd like to see that madman believe he has to drive the team. Tasmanian Devil indeed. (I actually voted Cork, with Schneiderlin close second).

    He has to. Otherwise he can't score against his old club which, as we've seen too many times ourselves this season, always happens! First name on the teamsheet this week surely if you believe in all that hocus-pocus!
