    Ismail the better player of the three, but as he only plays the occasional 15 minutes when all the stars align in a very specific way you cannot rely on him at all. Would happily boot both out and have morais in because at least he will play matches and can cross a ball

    Yeh, we've got none. So it doesn't matter who's captain, but there's nothing wrong with a keeper being one.

    Because i believe an outfield player needs to be giving orders and should have a clearer picture of whats happening on the field.

    I have no problem with Clarke, Donaldson, Evans or Watt being captain.

    They don't need to be captain to do that, they should be doing it anyway.

    I wouldn’t be pinning any hopes on anything drastic happening in January. Firstly we are a bottom end league 2 club. We will bottom of the pile when it comes to being attractive to any player considering to move. We made a meal of the Samuels loan and he hasn’t been very good. If we are looking at loans then id expect them to be of the same quality.

    With the Covid situation clubs aren’t going to want to let many players go. Long old season and lots of injuries – players having to isolate etc. The players that are going to be available are going to be the ones who cant get into a match day squad and their respective clubs. Im sure players will come in. They have to as our squad is very very thin but I don’t think for a minute that the quality available will be anywhere near good enough to drag us out of the current mess. It might just mean we have a couple more options for the bench.

    If anything id be more concerned about players leaving. Wood being our only half decent player has a good chance of clubs look at him in January. It will depend on if anyone is willing to put their hand in their pocket or hope they can be the first in the queue when his contract expires.
