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.

I think he's a very good on pitch captain, and drives the team on but seems more a quiet and reserved personality off the pitch which is different to what we've had. |  |

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. |  |

Nope, as an FA talent scout he is the epitome of a non prem league battler. This guy will get you out of a hole when needed. | |

Quality player and good captain. He was immense in that second half on Saturday. |  | | |

Morsy is a great player.
He does not get a game for Sheffield United or Burnley so that's two right there. He's been a top end league one/lower half champ player his whole career, there is a reason Boro were happy to let him come here. | |

TBH, he's far more useful that way round than an extrovert who can't/doesn't run the team. |  |

I think he is a terrific captain.
Brilliant player, leads by example with his 100% commitment every single week, his performance levels are so consistently highly for this level of football.
I can't imagine anything other than being a brilliant captain within the dressing room, has never disrespected the fans and always thanks them for their support.
Can't agree with this post I'm afraid. [Post edited 13 Feb 2023 9:15]

In amongst the mayhem at 2-0 down, just after we had nearly gifted them a 3rd and the crowd were agitated, I noticed him going round to each player, starting with the defenders, gesturing them all to calm down. We could have imploded at that point. Not long afterwards, Broadhead struck that beauty. |  | | |

Personally I think the bloke is superb in terms of a leader , an example to follow and seemingly a very respectful guy towards his fellow team mates and the fans
I'd rather he did his talking on the pitch as he does as opposed to a lot of hot air off it |  |

Give me a captain who leads by example and drags the team forward himself rather than someone who claps the fans enthusiastically after terrible performances. |  |

I think we had already imploded to be fair....!
I think the role of a captain is overstated and you need senior players to step up when needed and drag others with them; in a team without much seniority I find that Morsy does that and helps drive the team forwards, mainly by virtue of being very good at football.
He's the first name on the teamsheet, is a 7 or 8 out of 10 every week without fail and leads us well - can't ask for much more than that.
He may not be as good an off the pitch captain as others have been, but with McKenna and his management team we may not need that any more like we did where someone like Chambers had to take on a lot of responsibility because of the (lack of) structure of the club and the management team being aloof (to put it kindly).
I doubt Morsy is having to help players find places to live, and the like, getting their wives settled in area, helping out youngsters, being a mediator between players and management etc because that shouldn't be needed at a club this size and that it was is the issue | |

Oh yes for sure no qualms with him whatsoever, first name on the team sheet, love him etc etc but just wanted to gauge opinion on the ‘other side’ of it.
Like I said got no obligation for it, may see more of him with that side the closer we get to the end of the season and if we’re getting 2nd place! | |

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. | |

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. |  |

Completely disagree, but each to their own.
I'd far rather a captain who is a bit reserved off the pitch but leads by example on the pitch than a limited footballer who is more "engaging". I know who I respect more as a fan and would as a player too.
I think he always comes across really well in person too. We're fortunate to have him. [Post edited 13 Feb 2023 9:39]

Yeah.. After Davis told him to talk to the players.
A player telling a captain that he needs to talk to players.. really? | |
