Colwill to be captain tomorrow then, also a very likely starter.
I happy with chambers. But Colwill never saw that coming. One he’s just not that good, when he has the ball he hardly ever makes the right decision I would say he very selfish and could do with out the responsibility of being captain.
This is making me doubt BBM now or could it be a masterstroke. Have to wait and see.
Centre-back with Fish and Lawlor fighting for the other spot. I think that's fine for this division but we still badly need a left-back. Bagan's alright for a few games but there's a reason we've been putting someone out of position there for years.Quote:

Not sure how long a contract Callum Chambers was given when he joined in the Summer 2024 transfer window but , if it was 3+ years the his salary doesn`t count in the player wage costs for the purposes of the SCMP (Salary Cap Maintenance Protocol) that the club has to operate under in League 1 with player wages capped at 60% of turnover.Quote:

No really obvious choice so I'm not surprised. Showing a lot of trust in Colwill and giving him some responsibility like this may help. Really hope he has a great season.
If the reports at the time were right our summer 2024 contracts included: Chris Willock - 3years; Alex Robertson - 4 years; Jesper Daland - 4 years; Will Fish - 4 years; and Roco Simic - 4 years. Then in January Yousef Salech got a 4.5 year deal.Quote:

Chambers a good choice in my opinion. Hopefully he can be our Rolls Royce CB at this level.
BBM clearly rates Colwill, and lets hope he reacts positively to this decision. I think he's gonna rip the league up. Hopefully he does that with Salech, but if Salech goes, then there's Robbo / Davies / Ashford.
I think many on here are overestimating the quality in this league.
I dont think the gap in Championship though is Robin Reliant CB in the Championship to Rolls Royce in L1. 😂Quote:

I like Chambers in the CDM role, but not in the CB role personally. I'd play him over Wintle in the midfield, and have Fish and Lawlor play CB.
I am not happy with this decision. On the one hand, it shows the lack of leaders and voices on the pitch that we have to choose someone like Chambers. On the other hand, it means that he will have to be picked. I don't think he is good enough as a DM and I don't think he is good enough to play centre back.
Letting Ralls go was a mistake. Chambers is so terrible (even his peak in midfield was very very average). I dont understand why people are happy about this..
I can't say I've ever noticed any "leadership" from Chambers on the pitch from the games I've seen.
Do captains of football teams do that stuff anymore? Maybe 15 years ago, but not now in my opinion. A captain these days is probably more about how the player conducts himself, how professional they are on and off the pitch. The days of shouty footballers who ctash into the opposition is over. Not that i think that you're referring to that type of player :thumbup:Quote:
