Given our current assembled squad who would you give the Captains armband too ?

These players you mentioned are 25 or below. None of them have shown any leadership on the pitch. They would struggle to get in our team.saint jude wrote: ↑Sat Jul 31, 2021 10:50 pmChambers was an ideal fit. Served here for best part of a decade, had the experience and knowledge of club set-up and facilities.
We don't have anyone on board right now with that amount of service here, believe whoever is selected should be of an age greater than most around him. Someone to set an example and that younger names can learn from. You don't give out supervisory roles to those without some experience or haven't learned to be part of a team.
Kenlock is one of the names that has now been with us longest, maybe he could take on responsibility. Bishop would have been another to consider with a few years of service but believe he moved on some months back. Woolfenden stands out for some reason, could picture him taking duties. Why don't the club put out a vote to the fans to pick who they want to lead us next season.
Gonna be the experienced CB we crave with any luck, and soon by the looks of it.Cook Yet to Appoint a Captain

Town boss Paul Cook says he’s yet to appoint a full-time captain for the season ahead and hints that the man who will wear the armband may not yet be at Portman Road.

Lee Evans has worn the armband in pre-season and seems set to skipper against Morecambe, while Toto Nsiala and Janoi Donacien captained in the games that the Welshman missed with his groin injury.
Asked whether he’d appointed a permanent captain to succeed Luke Chambers who was released in May, Cook said: “No, not at the minute. I think experience is probably one of the things the squad is just lacking a little bit, leadership, if you like. So we are in the market.
“[CEO] Mark Ashton is working ever so hard every day to bring the right character and the right player into the club. That’s still an active market that we’re in.
“Lee Evans is captaining the side and Lee’s a model pro, and he’s a good lad. There’s no problem with Lee Evans captaining the club.
“I think Toto Nsiala has been captain, Janoi Donacien has been captain and again good lads, good role models and conduct themselves properly, so the captaincy is something we’re still looking at.
“I think Lee Evans will be captain tomorrow, Lee Evans can carry on being captain for me, but when we go on the pitch, we need 11 captains, we need substitutes who are captains.
“We have one voice, the voice of our supporters being the strongest one and the encouragement they can put from the terrace on to the pitch tomorrow.”
Might the captain not yet be here? “Could even be here by tomorrow, you never know, we keep you guys busy!”
