Seems to really respond to being given the armband. Obviously sees it as an honour and a responsibility, unlike some others we've had.

 

Really delighted with his performances so far.

:thup: He doesn't revel in it in the sense of 'I'm the big man'. He revels in it in the sense of he wants to just do the best job he possibly can for the team. Love the quotes from Pardoo above, about how he's got a lot more involved in conversations with him about the vision for the team etc.

Yep. Compare him to when Michael Owen had the captaincy for example. The man is a class apart.

dont think he is very vocal on the pitch but he seems a top professional

 

Noticed he was very vocal today, actually. He was organising the defence during the majority of set pieces.

It is anathema to me to recognise that "Ronaldo" was right but this man has improved far beyond what I thought that he was capable of.

poor defending by him for the goal

 

Whatever his strengths, he's always been poor at defending set pieces. Previously, we've worked around that at free kicks, and not asked him to mark any of the better headers of the ball among the opposition. This season I don't think we've been protecting him so much and it cost us yesterday. It nearly cost us at Scunthorpe.

 

Nolan and Barton were quite good at helping out at set pieces so maybe we've not got much choice. But if it's about Colo becoming captain and feeling he needs to set a good example then we need to think again.

yup, two errors, one at scunthorpe where a poor clearance by him, they put back into the box and they scored, then yesterday he was nowhere near the man he was meant to be marking who got a free header.
