With both Hutchinson and Saville gone we have lost two very good leaders of men. Who next for the armband?. I'm thinking Cooper, Brayn or Leonard if fit. Who would you choose?

I was thinking about this earlier. I’m hoping for De Norre but it’s going to be Cooper.

Cooper isn't the most demonstrative leader, but he has the respect of the players, knows the club inside out and has served us well. He is a cert to be club captain.
His understudy has to be Leonard. A model pro who has never let us down and as brave as they come.
However, the real leader of a club is the manager and we have a good one.

I think it's almost impossible to make a proper, sound judgement without actually knowing or working with the them personally, but from what I know of them:
My first choice would be Leonard, however, objectively he's likely to spend some time off the season out injured, whereas Cooper is almost ever-present. So for that reason my second choice, Coops, becomes my first.
I think Bryan would do a decent job too; he has a lot of broad experience as a seasoned pro, but I couldn't put him ahead of Coops or Lenny.

Billy Mitchell for me, towards the end of the season he was outstanding, has come through the youth ranks, gets stuck in, does a lot of the community work and is on course to become Mr Millwall, some may say he is too young to be captain but he is matured beyond his years in my opinion.

I'll take coops, Lenny second but he's always prone to injury 
Cooper and Leonard almost neck and neck in the poll. Can't help but feel Leonard would be preferred if he didn't have history with injuries that limit his availability.
Cooper until a better candidate emerges.

Damn, I missed that one, really thought they would want to keep him around

Good shout. I would definitely agree in a couple of years time maybe, all things being equal. It perplexes me that there always seems an element in the CBL who are so anti Mitchell. I have never once witnessed him give anything less than his all. What more do people want?
