New Captain?

New Captain?

Gregan led the team from the moment he first stepped onto the hallowed Deepdale turf.

Pearson has shown no leadership attributes at all and has already called every ref on the panel a blind ****.

Not a good shout.

Fair comment. It would take some thinking about and careful assessment about how far he’s come. For sure he has improved.

Over the years, there have been a number of “hothead” players - and also some “good” players who haven’t previously shown obvious leadership - who have surprisingly taken on captaincy and it has worked. I can’t name any! But I am sure it’s not unusual. Rooney? Lineker? And I think a lot of lower profile players.
 
Honestly, the squad will know better than us who their dressing room leaders are. Hunts might be club captain, Browne, Bauer, Davies as on-pitch options?

Gally's only here till the end of the season as it stands, so I think folks are looking beyond that.

Still a possibility Gally may sign for another year in the close season. I'd say Gally as Club Captain for sure, and wouldn't be bothered who got the matchday captaincy (if Gally not starting) out of Bauer, Browne or Pearson.

Give the young man some resonsibility and it could be the making of him as a player, leader and possible PNE future legend?

Could well be the making of Ben, definitely worth a go and give him a bit of added responsibility when dealing with referees etc .

As for Gally, I can see him becoming a player coach next year so will already have added gravitas in the squad,
