Legod Third Coming Posted 15 November, 2009 Share Posted 15 November, 2009 do we know why its his last game? commentator didnt mention it again (if he did I missed it) Because Pardew prefers an outfield captain. Have to say despite today's fiasco I agree. Maybe today that WAS the issue. KD didn't want to captain the side knowing he was giving it up and the new guy didn't feel he could take the responsibility on yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 15 November, 2009 Share Posted 15 November, 2009 Was mentioned in the programme today by Pard's, his reasoning being that he needs someone ''on the pitch'' who can go and talk to the ref if needs be......he did say he'll stay as ''club captain'' and he's the best club captain he's worked with.

Huffton Posted 15 November, 2009 Share Posted 15 November, 2009 This was brought up a few weeks ago. Apparently AP has already stated that KD will be a club captain all the while he is in charge, but that he would like an outfield skipper who can get more involved and talk to the ref etc. Comon sense really. Think people are reading too much into what was just a bad day at the office all round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Posted 15 November, 2009 Share Posted 15 November, 2009 Would be glad to see Hammond as captain, i like him. Davis has been a good captain but i think it's always best to have an outfield player as captain. It might stop him from coming out so far.

VectisSaint Posted 15 November, 2009 Share Posted 15 November, 2009 do we know why its his last game? commentator didnt mention it again (if he did I missed it) You missed it. It was spoken about again, but didn't mention who, just that AP wants an outfield player, and to be fair that makes total sense these days. You need someone in the thick of it to talk with the Ref. KD is apparently OK about it, and will remain as Club Captain, just not on the pitch.I guess Hammond will take it on, with his previous experience in the role.

toofarnorth Posted 15 November, 2009 Share Posted 15 November, 2009 The captains armband may not be Kelvin's anymore, but he'll still lead from the back. He's a true pro and always gives 100%. Made a great save second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted 16 November, 2009 Share Posted 16 November, 2009 Kelvin is still remaining as 'club captain' and so his responsibilties don't change dramatically. Hammond would be the leading candidate to become 'team captain' and it's a move that makes sense. It is tough for a keeper to command and direct orders from the back, and Hammond is always involved in the middle of the park. So long as Kelvin is OK with the decision, then I'm happy too. In Pards we trust! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nineteen Canteen Posted 16 November, 2009 Share Posted 16 November, 2009 Hammond must be captain as he has experience in the role at Colchester, plays in a central role and apart from Jaidi (assuming you don't saddle your front players with the responsibility) there is no other option. Jaidi today looked like a player who needed a telling as oppose to one to lead from front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintRichmond Posted 16 November, 2009 Share Posted 16 November, 2009 Is KD leaving ? My opinion is YES He stayed loyal hoping for a good start to the season It has NOT happened as he would have hoped, ie, we are STILL in the Relegation Zone, with no realistic chance of making the Top Six Therefore, he has to think of his future with a Club in a higher Division Bart seems to have got some of his confidence back, so I think they will move forward with him:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SW11_Saint Posted 16 November, 2009 Share Posted 16 November, 2009 Yeah, heard that too - bound to be Hammond. Midfielders always make the best captains in my humble opinion (ref. Ball, Case, Williams). How about a poll, just for a bit of fun...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 16 November, 2009 Share Posted 16 November, 2009 Can't see anyone else but hammond tbh. was probably the purpose of the change around against Charlton in the JPT - and by all accounts he had a good game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david in sweden Posted 17 November, 2009 Share Posted 17 November, 2009 (edited) Hammond would be the natural choice I presume. This was really a foregone conclusion - wasn't it ? At the start of the season, KD was "the senior pro " and one of the oldest on the staff, too. and put the club first when offered Prem football at West Ham. He is (apparantly) a good leader-type and with so many young / new players it was the right move at that time. (BUT goalkeeping captains are rarely the "ideal choice" for obvious reasons. OK Shilton did for England during his time with us, but at international level players have more experience and don't need the same encouragement.) The capt.(with armband) is meant to be the one to " speak with the ref." - not so easy with a disputed free-kick on the edge of the box - the goalie needs time to line up the wall -and not argue the toss with the ref. 20 yards away. As prev. discussed on an earlier " 5 captains thread " we have several other players with captain .experience; Hammond, Wotton, Thomas and Murty have all had the task with former clubs. Despite recent "off-form" games, Hammond would be most peoples choice I'm sure; IMHO Thomas and Wotton are a bit too " agressive " at times. Hammond seems to be a bit more level-headed, sadly Murty (also a good leader type has been out for a long time, but could equally well do DTJFU.) I really don't think this requires Sun Sport headline treatment, it's a natural thing to have a midfielder/ defender for the job and I'd go for Hammond, or a fully-fit Murty. END OF RANT !
