Seems the players are behind Murphy, I think he did OK last year, played very well under injury before his season ended, was clearly the leader while he was out there.
You can see from the result how much he was missed, doesn't get the respect he deserves from supporters. For our club to get better supporters have to get better at recognising quality.
What I would say is that with the arrival of Cripps, Plowman, Weitering, Marchbank, Phillips, the development of Rowe, Casboult and Docherty and SpecialK getting more game time. We are seeing more players prepare to fly the flag to protect their team-mates, EB1s example of White is a good one in this regard, but I don't think he needs to be captain.
Probably the biggest influence is SpecialK being on the field, our whole midfield stands taller when he's in the front line. But does that mean he's a captain, not really, and I don't think he needs to be to make his mark.
