Cripps on the couch

[ElwoodBlues1]

See I don't get that....and it it just a matter of opinion

Cripps is there at the moment
Docherty is on the bench.
Hard to make a judgement.

I reckon Docherty is just the type of captain we need.
A grade player, but also a coach in waiting.
Let Cripps concentrate on being a superstar.

The reality is though, that this decision will be made a lot closer to the action, and the players and coaches who know better than we do will make that choice.
I'll be happy with that.

My view is based on the perception of the public and media.........I have no doubt Cripps is seen as the most important player at the club and the one who win games.......his caricature is on every piece of marketing too.
Docherty is a fine player but not capable of being the inspiration that Cripps is IMO.......he is Mr sensible, Mr reliable,  but none too exciting.......
IMO the club heavyweights will make the choice and the captain will be as much about the off field as the on field and by that who pulls more members through the door and who they can market for max effect and IMO there is only one winner and by a fair way...
