New Skipper?

[DJC]

Well to me it simply means that BB has now reviewed the current leadership stocks and has decided that the type of captain he really wants longer term is either not at the club yet or is not yet ready to take the captaincy. In the meantime he will continue with Murph and at the same time continue to develop our leadership qualities across the board. I don't have a problem with this and Murph will more than likely rise to the challenge - well I hope so anyway.

Perhaps Bolton has decided that Murphy is exactly the right person to lead the club back to where it should be.

I really struggle with the idea that Murphy is captain by default.  The night Ch 7 miked him up really showed how comfortable and effective he is in the role and how well his team mates responded to him.

I would have been very unhappy with Bolton if he had just gone along with the leadership structure put in place by the dickhead who was pretending to be our coach.  However, now that Bolton has had time to assess our leaders, I expect that Murphy will be provided with more support than he has enjoyed in the past.
