Sorry to see Tony Craig being released, He was the closest thing to a captain we had in 10 years.

Really liked Tone, tough tackling no nonsense defender, every team needs one like him. Scored some important goals too..
I was hoping he might be offered some kind of defending coaching role but I've read he wants to be closer to his family..
I thank him and wish him and his family well...

No leader on the pitch to help toughen up the younger players

Craig wasn't the fastest, nor was he the best with the ball at his feet. What he gave us was an excellent football brain, no-nonsense tackling and some proper leadership at the back. Loved seeing the passion that he'd display every game. He'll be a real miss to us next season IMO.

Players like Craig are surely a big part of a young players development? Having that experience to learn from. if we want to develop good home grown players then surely having experienced players such as Craig in the squad is massively important.. I hope we don’t end up with a whole squad of young raw players, I cant see that working out very well

I agree, I think he'll be sorely missed. We need experience, leaders and characters as well as youth, and Big Tone provided this in abundance. Best of luck to him in his next chapter.

Tony had a lot of smarts between the ears, he knew how to read a game, and the timing of his challenges was superb. I think he could go on to become an excellent manager.

SteveK92 will be throwing a right wobbly at this. Craig should have been permanent captain.

Not sure from where our new Leader is going to emerge …. Certainly not OC ( Coughlans biggest mistake IMO) who hopefully will be leaving. Certainly not Upson or Rodman ….. My absolute hope is that it's Abs Ogogo - will lead by example for sure!!

Sorry to see Tony Craig being released, He was the closest thing to a captain we had in 10 years. One of the worst hot takes I've seen on here. We've had the most successful captain in our history with regards to promotions in the last ten years. A real shame about Tony though, completely agree. Will leave a huge leadership gap.

I’ve thought of him as our Captain ever since he arrived as he clearly plays that role on the pitch more than any other. I’m not surprised he’s leaving though as I reckon Garner probably wants playmaker defenders who will bring it out or short passes rather than a long ball. I hope he brings in some experience somewhere on the pitch to compensate.

With AK, Harries, Rollin and Tom D for CHs I suspect that will be it and the hope is that Tom D steps up to be the dominant “TC-type” leader. On the basis of his performances in the first half of the season I’m sure he can do it. Sorry to lose TC but with those 4 and after the Covid stuff can’t believe there’s money rattling around esp with the training ground starting. I suspect that it may be as much a financial decision as a football one. UTG!

SteveK92 will be throwing a right wobbly at this. Craig should have been permanent captain. I am with SteveK92 on this one. Ollie was not a good example last season to his team mates and certainly wasn't inspirational. Whereas Tone was. He should have been captain even though many may argue the position holds little responsibility. Had Tone been given the role might he have considered staying on for another season as the senior pro. We will miss him.
