I mean, somebody who would properly gee up his team-mates and drag them all up when things weren't going right?

Matt Holland and then later Magic Jim.

Nothing in their league since sadly.

Pfft.

Lovely guy. Underated footballer.

Was lucky he was captain of a team full of leaders.

Chambers of course not too sure he is able to do it now but he did for years .

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'll take one Chambers over a dozen Nolan, Judges and Norwoods.

He waves his arms around and shouts a lot, but he’s equally as ineffective of a period of time than Norwood and Nolan. No one is a ineffective as Judge, so I’d agree on that.

But I want my captain to be a good footballer, lead by example on the pitch with your performances, and he hasn’t done it for multiple seasons now.

Chambers being slated because he missed one header yesterday - when everyone else left the Portsmouth players free to run onto the loose ball and put it into the net.

I agree he shouldn't be singled out for a couple of mistakes. I also think he has generally played well this season.

However, I do not see him lifting the other players nor organising the defence around him.

James Collins and Jon Walters did this but for far too short a time.

Sadly true.

I'm sad for our younger supporters, if they had been present in the Holland / Magilton / Stewart days, which weren't THAT long ago, they'd know why we are bloody fuming at the lack of passion and creative talent.

He's not why we are where we are, either this season or over the longer term, but he's not lifting us up either.

I'm going to have to go with Chambers too, though yesterday has probably dented that in the eyes of many supporters and understandably so.
