I’m not sure either
Rushworth is a clear leader
Mve is the clown but a clear leader
Bidwell was so excellent today and having him around as the old timer must be really good
Obviously Grimes by example
Then who?
And I think it’s tricky
Bobby strikes me as a big leader
Rudi the heartbeat
Maybe Lampard and coaches are the leaders
Interestingly who do I look to?
Many players have now done 100 games 3 seasons so maybe there’s just no need for 1 or 2 leaders
Frank the Tank an obvious leader-only have to listen to interviews about him since he joined to realise that.
I’d put Kitching in that category too-in confrontations he’s the first there to back the players.
Leadership comes in many guises though and Latti goes about defending in a very unassuming and professional way-always in the right position and rarely makes a mistake (apart from yesterday’s error!). Wolf a similar character.
Same goes for Bidwell and Allen who are obvious seasoned pros, don’t get the minutes on the pitch that they’ve had previously but can be relied upon if called on. Bidwell yesterday was immense.
It’s definitely an area in the past where a lot of us have criticised the team for a lack of character and back bone but I feel that over the last 3 years you can’t fault the players (& management) for a lack of back bone! (Apart from the odd couple of games).
It’s so refreshing that we’ve got a squad now more than capable covering for injuries and suspensions.
