It will be O'Nien and the usual outrage over the road at him being a "guaranteed starter" fewm
He was tonight for the 45mins he played but I think Onien will get the nod next Saturday. Saying that I don't think he has picked the same player to be captain in the pre season games. Dan Neil, Onien, Mcgeady, gooch, Flannigan had it tonight for a bit as well
Coming round to the idea of Evans
he represents a fresh start whilst also being experienced.
Wouldn’t mind it being O’Nien either
still think there’s a chance it’ll be somebody new and that’s why it’s been passed around in preseason

I just think if it was to be O’Nien then he’d of had the armband tonight. Flanagan when Evans went off too? I suppose we’ll soon find out.
If that means that half the team have leadership qualities that's great. I like O'Nien for it but Evans could be better, I haven't seen enough of him to say. He's more experienced.
I hope that is the case, tbh. Would be great to sign a leader and him coming in knowing he’d be skipper. Lots of options mind.
I guess the most likely answer is the players don’t know yet either. He’s probably tried to foster a number of leaders and basically kept them all on their toes so that they all step up to lead.
Quite a good idea frankly. We’ve not had a leader for ages so he’s basically trying to get them all acting like one

It should be announced officially soon shouldn't it? I think we always used to say who was team and club captain before the season starts.
How much impact do people think it has? I suppose it's an honour to be chosen, but I always think it should come from within the group, they know who the real leaders are imo.
Listening to ex-footballers on podcasts it sounds like a lot more off the pitch duties than on so it needs to be somebody respected. I feel like McGeady fits the bill.

I've always thought that a leader is a leader regardless of whether they have a bit of fabric round their arm. In the days of squad rotation, the role of captain seems less important than it was. I'd give it to McGeady as the most senior player, with someone like O'Nien or Evans as vice captain for when Geeds doesn't play
