SteveK92 will be throwing a right wobbly at this. Craig should have been permanent captain. He was the captain, he just didn't wear the armband

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. Lockyer? Funny - I didn’t actually rate him too highly as a captain

Lots of dewy eyed rewriting of history on this thread. We have been water poor for 2 seasons during which captain fantastic has clearly not been the inspiration that many are claiming. He was an aging player who was no better than decent for us. Not awful, but certainly not the best Captain in 10 years! Lmfao

Best of luck Tony, great professional and great example to young pro's, wish he could have stayed on.

I personally think he’ll be a massive miss, whilst some may not think it’s a must to have a captain, he’d of been a huge influence on younger players, as that seems to be the way we’re heading.

Know BG wants to go with youth but all good youth teams have experienced heads.
Craig will be missed. Model professional and wish him well

Lmfao When the team wanted to play they could anybody in the league i.e a year under GC and v Sunderland I doubt it was down to TC they didn't want to play for DC or BG, our defensive performance v Plymouth in the FA Cup is probably one of the best we've witnessed for years.

Hardly to replace Tony, think we will miss him unless we find a replacement in a similar mould. Hard to pick any other leaders, i wouldn't give it to JCH i want him focusing on scoring goals, so probably would be Ogogo for me.

Our results improved under GC but not the performance and our GD wasnt that brilliant. As for Garner..... Look, I'm not having a pop. I wish him well, but reading this thread you'd think he was L1s answer to Beckenbauer!!

To be fair to TC he was a no nonsense CH, you can hardly blame him because the football was poor, even so over a 12 month period we were top of the current form that was mostly down to our goalie/defence and JCH's goals.

Maybe to young but I think kilgour would make a good captain

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! Supposition on the financial front, if Milwall Tone wanted to move closer to home it would be wrong to try to keep him here at the club (my supposition). In my opinion a fit Tom Davies can fill that role with Alfie and Rollin as the other centre-backs, time will tell on this one

He'll be missed, and I wish him well! Sometimes it's easier this way though, no guarantees he'd have a similar season at his age and at least he leaves us a well respected player now, instead of this time next year us moaning we kept him, know what I mean?!

I was a great fan of both Craig and McCrystal. Both great leaders and no nonsense defenders. I'm probably old fashioned but my priority for central defenders is to defend resolutely and make the opposition strikers thoroughly miserable. Both did that perfectly.
I'm not convinced Craig wanted to stay regardless of the managership. He's got a family in London and will not be short of playing offers nearer to home. He was a great asset to the club and I wish him well.
