As Captain Marvel has now left the club do we now implode or move on to better times./
Yes he was a great passer of the ball but as a captain I felt that we needed someone that could be seen to stamp authority on the pitch such as the likes of Ashley William and Gary Monk used to. In recent times when the team needed a kick up the...you could see MG shrugging his shoulders and not barking orders etc. Perhaps that was his style but I think our players needed more.
Hopefully Ben Cabango can be more like the earlier captains and move us forward and up the league.

I’m hopeful that Cabango will grow into the role :emoticon-0165-muscl

Move on to better times.

Maybe see a difference in the manager.See who is/was the boss in the dressing room.If you know what I mean.
 
I dont think LW wanted us to play that slow sideways football it was so negative and cot us so many points. Perhaps MG was a bit of a control freak towards the end of his time with us.
