    In the season before last, Jack was probably our best central defender before he got injured (at City IIRC?). He never got a chance to get back in after that.

    Last year I think Ralph didn't rate him (probably because he didn't suit the high press), so he was loaned out to Bompey. I like Jack, always seem assured on the ball and him & Bedders are a good strong team in the middle.

    Good news IMO.

    Good news. Like others, I think he’ll be big for us this season, and the man cares.

    Great news. Been a critic of Jack in the past but thought he could a job for us from 12-18 months ago and earned my respect

    Defo captain by September.

    Agree with all of the above, and he should be captain, but won't as JWP will not leave

    Sounds like Stephens is the vice-captain now. Rightly so, and will probably step up if JWP leaves.

    Love to see it.

    Always been a big fan of Jack, even when he's not been the most popular with the rest of the fans

    Delighted with this and well deserved.

    I’ve always liked him.

    I assume he fell out with Ralph or something because he should 100% have been here last season.

    Definitely the right (only?) choice

    Let’s hope the Cornish Maldini replacing JWP as captain is as successful as the Italian one replacing Franco Baresi at Milan.
