Saint Fan CaM Posted 31 January, 2011 Share Posted 31 January, 2011 Just a thought - perhaps premature, but worthy of discussion. Chaplow is an articulate, hard working and skillful player that gets around all over the park. I've watched him - he talks to other players and likes to motivate. I think he could be a great Team Captain - better than Hammond who seems a bit...well...quiet, not commanding of the team and hardly sets the world alight with his very few interviews to date.

Rocker268 Posted 31 January, 2011 Share Posted 31 January, 2011 Now you mention it, I think he is slowly becoming team captain, a lot of interviews recently have seemed to have featured him rather than Davis or Hammond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgeweahscousin Posted 31 January, 2011 Share Posted 31 January, 2011 Fonte for Captain, Chaplow for Vice-Captain. Best option for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dellman Posted 31 January, 2011 Share Posted 31 January, 2011 Just because he has a great work rate and gets all over the pitch, doesn't mean he's the best option for captain in fact his busy-ness probably means he's the worst option. From his position, and with his quality Fonte looks the best man for the job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintscottofthenortham Posted 31 January, 2011 Share Posted 31 January, 2011 Chaplow captain, Fonte Vice captain. Nobody does more communicating and encouraging than Chaplow, nobody does less communicating and encouraging than Hammond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thedelldays Posted 31 January, 2011 Share Posted 31 January, 2011 Chaplow captain, Fonte Vice captain.

rolosfc Posted 31 January, 2011 Share Posted 31 January, 2011 Despite 2 managers thinking otherwise Exactly, he obviously has the right qualities for a captain. However, it is good to see another midfielder communicating and motivating and Chaplow did a great job alongside Morgan on Sat, so Hammond looks like he'll struggle to even start let alone be captain.

Huntingdon Posted 31 January, 2011 Share Posted 31 January, 2011 I'm not so sure My missus is from Preston, so hearing her families Dad & Brother's thoughts on Chaplow is quite interesting The Preston fans absolutely hate him, and on more than 1 occassion he faked an injury to leave the field That doesn't sound like a skipper to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Fan CaM Posted 31 January, 2011 Author Share Posted 31 January, 2011 Despite 2 managers thinking otherwise It matters not what previous managers think - if that was the case Chaplow would never play again if his previous manager had a say. Chaplow for me is the best and most likely choice because he would provide consistency in role potentially all the way through to the Prem. If he and Schneiderlin keep up their partnership even better still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Charming Man Posted 31 January, 2011 Share Posted 31 January, 2011 I'm not so sure My missus is from Preston, so hearing her families Dad & Brother's thoughts on Chaplow is quite interesting The Preston fans absolutely hate him, and on more than 1 occassion he faked an injury to leave the field That doesn't sound like a skipper to me I assume they've spoken to the Preston Medical Staff to confirm that? Or did some flat cap wearing, Northern monkey post it on a PNE forum and it's now taken as gospel? I would love him as captain, he's a box to box midfielder who drives the team forward. Hammond is a donkey who is only capable of passing 5 yards sideways, makes a couple of rash tackles here and there and can't shoot for sh*t. Chaplow also helps bring out the best in Schneiderlin, who has looked quality when playing with Chaplow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david in sweden Posted 31 January, 2011 Share Posted 31 January, 2011 Fonte for Captain, Chaplow for Vice-Captain. I'd go along with that. Good suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
