Our aging centre back who has guided/been a part of the training of young Sykes to become the player he is.
And our Captain who has probably been our best player for at least the last 5 games. Why on earth would you want a defensive midfielder that high up the pitch.
Think the question should be more why hasn’t Finley scored more.....
& on the subject of our club captain; who would you play instead of him.
Choices right now realistically are
LKS - poor positional play
Diallo - Injured
Pritchard - too weak (another reason shouldn’t be playing as a false 9)
Johnson - too weak , and why ruin the Johnson/Clicker combo even if it’s predictable
Barclay - a centre half naturally who we tried converting into a midfielder and now can’t get in the squad
So can someone please try and convince me we shouldn’t play our club captain?
(don’t even get me started on the whole ‘shouldn’t be captain debate either!!)
Anyone seen the highlights on YouTube and wonder where on Earth big Jerome was defensively and why he was virtually walking back to defend?

I didn't say that our Captain shouldn't play . If you read my post accurately I merely lumped him together with two more of the squad's ' underproducing ' players.
In spite of your claims regarding past glories, and rather tenuous allusions to their influence on other players, they are not producing these performances this season.
If they were then our tally of goals would be higher and the dearth of points which keeps us in a slot at the bottom of the league would not be the status quo !.
Finley hasn't scored more goals because he too loks llike he is in limbo at present and doesn't seem to know exactly what his role is in the present tactical setup .
ps. Incidentally, I wouldn't dream of getting you started on ' the shouldnt be Captain debate ' or indeed started on anything whatsoever !. Such unseemly behaviour is not in my armoury !
