Pack is the natural leader on the pitch whether he is captain or not and is the obvious candidate.
I can't remember which game it was in but I think people make too much of the one incident when he failed to track back and we conceded. He would never had made it anyway.
Only other possibles would be Morrell and maybe Raggett.
Wasn’t he totally outpaced by Bannon?
The incident which highlighted his unsuitability as captain, for me, was when he had a go at Olawayemi for something he (Pack) was at fault for. It took Reeco to put Pack in his place. Disgraceful behaviour for a ‘captain’ to have a go at a junior player for something that was totally his own fault.
I think that was the same goal I was talking about, Plymouth away ?. Probably not his finest moment but an isolated incident, and we don't know what he said. Pitman used to do that it all the time, which is why the young players apparently celebrated when he left.
