The good decisions keep coming from the Jets and Stubbins. Reckon the next step is to get one of the younger players with a half decent head on his shoulders and longer term future at the Jets as his Vice Captain. While Jaliens is the logical his age and his penchant for the odd yellow card means a fall back and future plan is pretty important.

Regardless of what others may think, I doubt Griffiths was ever in the frame. Too high-risk and Stubby has not come over as a dummy so far. Jaliens seems to possess the tactical nous to lead on the field and was probably the most logical pick for the 'right-now.' That said, I agree with CA's observations as regards the longer-term. Yes, it's early days, but given Stubby's performance to date, I can't see any evidence of the myopic, short-term vision that has plagued us in the past. I'll keep faith that Stubby is looking at the future, and not just the coming season, to make this club consistently competitive. Which is nothing more than what us long-suffering, faithful members deserve.

Good onya G, warming up for the coming season. I'm doing a bit of a pre season in here, getting a few nibbles from the same ol, same ol's ! I agree, I don't think Griff was ever in the picture and common sense was always going to prevail.I don't mind the look of Stubby so far, it's all looking fairly good. The club has ever only had short term captains and they usually are shown the door and I don't see any youngsters being around long enough. Probably, a season at a time is all that we can really look ahead to and with Kew at the helm, I don't think you would get too many that would disagree with that. Enjoy the season G and let's hope it's a good one.

I'm with you Crackers, it had to be Kew. Thank goodness it wasn't Griffiths, no doubt his crazed disciples will be upset. Well done Stubby, I don't mind that decision at all ! Don't get too carried away CA, there's no long termers at this club and I'm sure Laurel and Hardy in admin will make their usual ridiculous decisions as the season moves on, you just got to wait for them!

A somewhat deluded comment Bowie, we're talking about the captaincy here and thankfully, Griffiths wasn't made that. I was hoping that things would be a bit better for you this year, obviously, things are still clouded!

Why would YOU be hoping for ME to be keeping up with things Bowie, any particular reason? I've got no interest in who gets the vice captaincy. My comment concerned the CAPTAINCY and thankfully, it wasn't Norman Bates !. (The lunatics are more concerned with what I comment about than giving their own opinion about the story at hand)

Griffiths was never in the frame Billy, Kew gets a few cards and injuries so its a fair bet Griffiths will be captain at some point .The appointment was widely reported by lunchtime yesterday.
