    It's looking likely that Captain Honeyman is leaving so...
    Who would you choose and why

    I'm going with Willis as he's got the experience and will probably play most games.

    Slim pickings in terms of an actual leader IMO.

    Gone for Big John for an experienced head and organiser.

    Gone for Willis too. He's an experienced captain, just what we need going into the new season

    Jon McLaughlan because out of all of those he, apart from Willis, is the only guaranteed starter.

    I’m not gonna call for any player I haven’t seen to be captain.

    I’ll revisit this after Saturday.

    Willis seems to be favourite to me, but I'd have thought that some would have picked McGeouch if he'd been on the list ('cos he'll be an option for Jack) :emoticon-0105-wink:

    I think he'll make Leadbitter as club captain.

    I'm not a fan of giving the arm band to a new signing

    Just noticed this is fir club captain.
    i was thinking just this. Grant does live and breathe SAFC; Dobson looks like he could be our blood & thunder captain with more skill than the last incumbent

    Jack Ross on the captaincy:
    "I think it depends on the circumstances you find yourself in, last year at the point George was appointed it was a good fit because we needed somebody that was going to one, buy into what we were trying to do, and two, to drive standards up out on the training pitch."
    "Now George's move has gone through, we have a number of candidates but we will have to consider whether to change the structure of it slightly and have a club captain and a team captain and share the responsibility."
    "It’s a big responsibility at this club and maybe in hindsight I put too much on George's shoulders last year, but I was learning about the club and the expectations there are here, so that's something for me to consider as well."
    "Because this [Honeyman's move] happened so quickly, the build-up to this weekend is not so much about the captaincy but about making sure we're ready for the game. It [the full-time role] is probably more something that we will look at at the beginning of next week."

    That is the obvious one for his experience but will he start every game? Can he do 90 mins?

    As he would be team captain , cos he is red and white through and through he would be my pick to motivate the lads, if he comes off he can always pass on the armband to the next one in which case we have 2, then there is a choice of club captain or team captain
