Swin you commented on his individual performance in the braintree semi 2nd leg, slagging him off and saying he should be subbed. Can't be bothered to check but pretty sure of that. He was our best outlet that day, kept persisting, and got the goal to put us through to Wembley. Probably drunk you right off!

I know Macca is worshipped in these parts and his howlers are somehow overlooked cos he is a good lad and he cares. He cares so much he handed in a transfer request when he had some serious competition. Anyway my point is I am not in favour of goalkeepers as captains, they are too far from the action. Ideally a midfielder and Summers could do it, but I see no point in changing at present, unless of course Clarke loses his place in the team. My understanding is team captains also earn a bit more.

I agree , it's hard to inspire and motivate the team from the penalty area. Directing play, grabbing the game by the scruff of the neck and motivating players can only really be achieved from by an outfield player preferably by a mid-fielder or central defender.
