Captain Not Announced Until Saturday 2.50pm

According to press team on twitter.

Could we dare hope that Hughes is waiting for a new signing to arrive to walk straight in as captain?

No that wont happen. Clint Hill or Ryan Nelsen will be Captain on Saturday.

No way would a brand new signing walk into the Club this week and start on Saturday, let alone as captain. Not even if it was Chris Samba for example.

With TF meeting Phil Beard, Hughes and the management team today, it could maybe be to try and close off a couple of deals?

For me, with the signing of one commanding CB, we go from a 15-20th place side with a bit of a suspect looking defence to a comfortable mid table side. Which is why I think we'll get someone.

I doubt they will go straight in as Captain though. I think it will be Nelsen, Park or Anton personally.

Disagree, it happened with Barton. It could just be the carrot to dangle in front of a high profile player. Of course, I am not saying that is going to happen, just playing devil's advocate.

Whatever happened last season is not a comparison for the norm though - and we don't have the same man in charge now. Hughes believes 100% in team spirit and unity and simply wouldn't sign one on Friday and put him in the team the next day with the arm band on. Can you imagine, with the senior players he has in the squad, how it would stir the pot if that happened now?

I get the feeling it's going to be Anton, which would be fine by me. Hopefully the responsibility would screw his head on for good.

Who can blame him?

The one thing we have all overlooked is the fact that the 25 man squads don't have to be submitted and relied upon until the transfer window closes at the end of August. Maybe Hughes is still hoping to bring in a face that fits the bill before the deadline............or maybe he will not decide on a final choice until the squad has to be fixed?

quite possible.

I said the other week though, of the current squad i fully expect Ryan Nelsen will start regularly and he will be made Captain. There are reasons against others, but not him if he's here to play, which i expect he is.
