I’ll start by saying that we aren’t blessed with leaders within the side. This to me is a fundamental reason why we are where we are.
When Ehmer came in from Gillingham, he was seen by many as a real coup for this football club. A natural leader with years of experience in this division. An obvious replacement for Tony Craig, who was having mixed reviews by Gasheads. But Ehmer has failed to do what he was brought in for. He hasn’t lead the side, his performances have been woeful and last night, on a night when all of our players underperformed, Ehmer had a torrid evening. His performance was a poor reflection on our team as the leader and he didn’t deserve the band on his arm or the badge on his chest. Has Tisdale lost his captain’s faith? It looked that way to me. I said last night that I would have taken Ehmer off to make a statement that performances like that would not be tolerated. I would also give Ehmer 5 games to earn the captaincy back. What do you think? Keep Ehmer as captain or give it to someone else?

As you say, Ehmer was supposed to be a leader - but he clearly isn't. It must be that he had others in that Gills side that were leaders and all he did was call heads or tails! He is worse than not being a leader - he doesn't even try and that means poor old Kilgour alongside him hasn't got a chance on his own.
I would drop him from the squad of 22 based on recent performances, not just last night. We need to find an out of contract leader and centre half, plus another out of contract midfield battler if we are to survive. As I posted elsewhere our flair players and the forwards, if they all stay fit, are good enough to score goals if there is a solid defensive base behind them.

He is not and never will be a captain. Also Kilgour is not a central defender. Because he can't defend the central area.

Have been saying this since Garner was in charge.
Never a captain.

Hate to target a single player, but surely he would admit he has not been very good for us. And maybe would benefit from being dropped. Continously playing badly must effect confidence.

I don’t think anyone in the squad has captain quality

Can there be an option added for "It literally makes no difference who wears an armband" ?
I understand the sentiment about organising and leadership, but I doubt any player consciously decides to change their game if they are (or aren't) the nominal captain.

I personally think we should have offered Tom broadbent more money than Swindon did, or bought Ryan sweeney as their both better than ehmer by a mile

What do you think? Keep Ehmer as captain or give it to someone else? I say stop picking on individual players it’s a team game and at least 9 players each game are under performing,one match it’s leahy then Grant,Westbrooke,upson and so on get off individuals backs and by all means slag the team of as a team rather than knock one individual. The managerial staff we have in place are obviously not up to their jobs because we don’t even look like a team win lose or draw. I would pick a back four and stick with it,play two up front and possibly keep at least 3/4of the midfield the same for each game. Have a consistent line up so the players can get to know each other’s game because there seems much confusion amongst each other with all the chopping and changing of players and tactics. PT I would give him another 5 games and access the situation on his future utg.

I cannot stand this team they dont give a flying #### about us, joey Barton would have them up against the wall. How we gave Tis a long deal leaves me speechless. Could do worse than having Tom Mehew in midfield. At a depressing time we have to suffer these jokers, if fans were at games it would be hostile, if you dont want to wear the shirt jog on. Have a little sympathy for Tis as this squad was cobbled together.

Something does not seem right. An experience pro and captain of former club completely completely looses form and confidence and looks like he's given up. I don't know, perhaps he's not settled or something is troubling him. Tisdale needs to talk to him and explains he needs leaders and suggest if the armband is too much for him at the moment he should relinquish it. Needs to be done but diplomatically. Yes, he does need to be rested from the team for the time being.
Not sure who to give captaincy to. Anssi if he were playing but I can't spot any other natural leader. William's is Tisdale's man so perhaps him not that I rate him as a player from what I've seen so far. The other option might be Baldwin and if he steps up that just might be my choice.

Baldwin for me. He is loud AF and has more experience than Kilgour for the time being. Deffo Alfie longer term
