Just don’t feel it with Sam Morsy, I know he’s not obliged to and we’ve been spoilt with great fan engaging captains over the years and he’s following in the footsteps of one of those greats but it’s always nice for some sort of connection between the skipper and the fans, he just trudges round applauding half heartedly at FT most of the time in amongst the group.

maybe at the end of a game he's a bit knackered? |  |

Garbage. |
No. Just a different opinion. |  |

Fwiw I think the reason Sitters and I, and others, don’t have a connection with Morsy is because he captained us to our lowest league position in living memory and yet many people bizarrely equate him with excellent players like Legwinski Magilton and Garvan. |  |

He does far more off the field than any other skipper ever has. He is a leader in the changing room and a great ambassador for the club. On the pitch he is a beast...despised ad feared in equal amounts by all other clubs.
As a player he would walk into any starting line up outside the premier league. |
I don’t think your first and last sentences are true. | |

"He's one of the worst on the pitch captains"
Except he isn't is he ? |
He is. Captains set the tone for the level required in the game. Floating around tapping the ball 5 yards and playing safe isn't the way to do it.
When he's on it.. as he was 2nd half.. he forces the rest of the side to be driven. Gutsy and determined.
That is the skipper we need from kickoff. | |

He's one of the worst on the pitch captains I've seen. I saw more heart from Humphreys on sat and that's after morsy gave it the big "we need you" speech.
Its his first half performances which has set the tone imo for the rest of the side. When he's on it.. then he has a positive effect. |
Of course, that is obvious to those watching games on IFollow, but impossible for those attending the games to see. |  | | |

Just out of curiosity so I can personally put some context to your statement - who else would you consider to be one of the worst "on the pitch captains" outside Ipswich Town past or present ?
Simply to add context to it so I and perhaps others get an idea of where you're coming from
Just name(s) will do |  |

Not sure why you're making things up. Haven't mentioned anything about footage or being there.
Everyone's entitled to their view.
The bizarre love for some of the current regime is extreme for a side that's underachieving. | |

I think, as briefly mentioned above, there were a lot more gaps for the captain to fill when LC was here as opposed to now - if those gaps still existed would SM fill them?
We'll thankfully never need to find out because actually pay people to do the jobs now. |
Of course, like you say LC was doing everything and we always heard and saw from him because of that. | |

He leads by example on the pitch in that he dictates the way we play, hardly ever gives the ball away and has a calmness...where others can look flustered and frantic in big game like Saturday..
My ideal captain is a big commanding vocal finger pointing centre half, I suppose a good team has many leaders on the pitch, so we could still do with one.. |  | | |

OK humour me as I'm a little thick
It'd offer some context for me personally to help me see how you're measuring this statement without having an emotional attachment to a player who plays / played for the team I support
OK - let me ask another way . Can you name another captain who carries himself similar to Morsy that you think is a bad captain ? | |

He's the captain of the team, not the fanbase.
Chambers was a great cheerleader, but him and Morsy are very different characters. |  |

Again. I'm talking about ipswich.
Chambers in his latter years imo comes close to being as ineffective on the pitch as captain as morsy does. But prime chambers drove the side on. Holland drove the side on. You felt his passion. His drive. His determination.
Morsy floating around playing safe football and refusing to get stuck in.. isn't the best example to set to his side.
BUT as I said in my first reply... he has turned it up in some 2nd half periods in which I felt his personal change in drive and effort then reflected on his team mates. His desire to try a difficult ball. Not be safe and try to make things happen... at that point I would say he's being a great on the pitch captain as he's showing his team the level required.
Unfortunately... it's so hot and cold I can't agree that he's a great skipper on the pitch.
Look let's be honest. No ones gonna agree. There's a strange love of all the current players regardless of their shortcomings. So I don't expect anyone to agree anyway. | |

I just think he is quite a shy person. In his interviews he talks very quietly and seems to think before he speaks.
As long as he does his work on the pitch, I’m fine with that.

So you can't humour me then , no worries it's fine
Just reading your reply also criticises the sort of player he is more so than the style of captain he is in my opinion
I really can't be bothered to have another spat with you to be fair but to suggest "he's one of the worst captains ever" is really quite damning to say the least - and far from the truth in my opinion but you continue doing you as I've seen you say to others
Anyway thanks for the "justification" | |

Is it really? 4 wins in 3 months and it's a hot take that there are players who aren't good enough consistently enough to help us achieve the wins we need. Is it really that much of a hot take?
If its not KM and his management. ( which I don't think it is) then when do questions get asked of those in the side?
If its not the managers fault. Nor the players fault. Its not the fans fault ( fair play to the thousands that attend every game) who's fault is it? Kitman? | |

for a bloke that refuses to get "stuck in", he picks up a remarkable number of yellow cards!

I see questions asked of this team and management here on a daily basis — and rightly.
Justifying your take by saying "well you all just love them unconditionally" — or words to that effect — isn't the brightest thing to do. But it's useful to everyone else as it explains your way of thinking more clearly than you consciously could. | |
