Captain In Barton's Absence

[Ric-Roc]

Who is the official vice captain now Joey is suspended for Norwich?

Is it Derry or was Taarabt downgraded from Captain to vice captain?

Wondering who will lead us out & drive on the team next week. Obvious guess would say Derry but as we are clearly playing a more quick tempo game since the 2nd half at Spurs could we see a return for Adel in the team & with the armband?

If I was a betting man I would probably say he'd be on the bench but who knows. Warnock could surprise us. The game out & a break might have had the desired affect & Taarabt could come back into the team & be a big asset.

Or is his time over?

I genuinely hope I never see him in a Rangers shirt again if the latest rumours are true. I'd rather See Buzz fill in. Maybe Anton or Hill if Derry doesn't get the nod. Even Heider could be in the running.

[Ric-Roc]

I agree mate.

[Yousef]

I think NW will start with Taarabt (C) and then replace him with Derry in the 2nd half.

My sentiments entirely.The team seem to play much better as a unit without him.His petulance and "look at me" approach to the game only serve to disrupt an otherwise hard working and ambitious outfit.I'd rather give Buzz the nod over him.

Or even Smiffy.

Surely the only person who will replace Barton is Derry, otherwise you have to shuffle unnecessarily.

I'd make Faurlin stand-in capt.

[Ric-Roc]

I'd say that was the logical move Paul yes.

[QPRDave]

Derry skipper for me

SWP - Derry - Faurlin - Traore
------ Bothroyd or Buzz -------
--------------- HH --------------

You're probably right there.I was thinking of somebody with a little flare rather than battling qualities which is probably what we need against the agricultural beasts of Norfolk.I hope the ref keeps an eye on Holt and gives him 10 out of 10 for artistic interpretation along with his red card when he dives in the box.
