This issue is a big part of the problem for me. Past Captains motivate and push the team on. They give everything for PNE.

Why is Browne Captain if he won't commit to the club?

It looks like the other candidates are not going to cut it or in a similar last year of contract situation.

The squad is either a bunch of kids or not interested in staying next year anyway.
 
Ive given Browne enough stick recently so I wont continue. But it is a fair point.

I dont think there is that much value in a captain in football. Less so than Rugby/ American Football/ Cricket etc, but it still isnt a good sight that the player who should be the most committed and give the most effort doesnt really want to be there any more.

Not like there's a clear option to replace him though
 
Great post and really good point.

I believe we do have leaders in the team, but they are either yet to commit to the club (and it seems likely that they won't at all) or in the team too rarely to hold the capacity.

Davies, Browne, DJ, Hunts or Gally all have attributes worthy of being captain, aside from those five players, who else?

Rudd? Not for me.

Add a captain to the shopping list...
 
browne was one of the only ones who put any kind of effort in last night, should have been sent off for too much passion really.

perhaps captaincy is also to help sort contract. neil seemed to infer brownes contract was in hand and would be hopefully sorted soon. Feel you are barking up the wrong tree here.
 
Don't think the contract situation has any baring in it. Don't think they really want out, they just want paying properly and a shred of ambition and if that ain't happening here then they'll be forced to leave. Also, if we refuse to have a player who's out of contract soon as our captain then that'll rule out the majority of our first team regulars.

To cheer me up I watched the highlights of the Birmingham play off semi final this afternoon. It had the reverse effect as I realised that side would have beaten last night's 6-0.
 
I know that he doesn’t play in every game, but I would give it to Hunts, due to him always does his best for the club. He also is coming upto his 300 game for the club nearly 10 years at the club as wel.

Brown's contract is meant to be in hand as you state,,,,,, what about Fishers contract AN said in the press that the contract was about to be signed. That was weeks ago and still nothing. Can we belive AN when he talks about the contracts?
