Should Mills be Captain? - POLL

[WoodleyRoyal]

Yey or Nay

[zummerset]

Today I learnt that Mills is a northern thug from Swindon - so its a no from me..

[Yorkshire Royal]

Did Mills do something to your family?

[Royal Lady]

WoodleyRoyal - get a grip son.

[RobRoyal]

Where is the "yawn" option?

[muddyfeet]

no because he cant control his temper, I think Jobi* should be captain *(fitter)

[Ian Royal]

Griffin, McAnuff, Pearce, Howard, Khizanishvili (should we sign him) and Leigterwood (should we sign him) are all better options IMO.

Howard??

[Harpers So Solid Crew]

Hmmmm so two players on loan as an option, are we talking now or in the future.

A Captain should stand up and help in the protection of his players - he should be mentally strong.

This is why Mills should be captain. Just because some of you don't like him because sometimes he has the bottle to show the likes of you that perhaps what is felt on the outside isn't what is felt from within the team.

RL: The list isn't in any particular order, but Howard has experience and plays a role that allows him to interact easily with most of our players. He also seems to communicate a lot and look to play the game the way I want us too.

HSSC: Not much point in causing a load of disruption now, so yes, I'm mainly looking to next season (when I wouldn't be unhappy to see Mills no longer with us).

Tails: Completely agree a captain should be mentally strong. Completely disagree Mills is. Mentally strong players don't throw hissy fits every time something goes against them, give their own crowd the finger for getting on their back or commit obvious, petty and cynical fouls repeatedly for no good reason. Nor do they usually show fairly poor positioning.

Very few people get on Mills' back because they think he's a bad player... it's generally because they think he plays badly, ie isn't mentally strong and doesn't live up to his obvious ability.

Sounds a bit like Roy Keane

Or Phil Parkinson.

[Ian Royal]

Parky!? Parky made crunching tackles and did the necessary dirty work. I certainly don't remember him throwing hissy fits to the ref, having a sly kick out at someone or brainlessly body checking them. He was hard, but he was fair.

Keane was a oxf*rd.

[Thankgodisfriday]

As fans we do not see a Captains influence on a club on a day to day basis.However alienating the fans is not part of his remit.He needs to look back at the likes of Murty on how to carry out his job. His temperament is questionnable as are his own opinion of his abilities

[roadrunner]

For captains I always compare to the likes of McPherson, Parkingson and Murty. Mills doesn't have half of what they had in terms on leadership or even mentality.

Give him 3 years and he'll be the man you guys demand from him.

[Ian Royal]

Give him 3 years and he'll be the man you guys demand from him.

Can we give him to someone else for those three years?

[RoyalJames101]

Mills seems like such an honest person and he always looks as if he will take things by the scruff of the neck, sometimes, however, too literally.

Careful. We may not have the luxury of choice.
