Agar says that captain will play on Boxing Day which would take Martin out of the equation.

Has to be ward or gale then surely??

Gale by a mile for me

Agreed

Watching the training clips from yesterday morning all the calls are coming from Gale.
Granted you'd expect to hear a no7 calling the shots but even in the huddles his voice is the dominant one.

I'd be very happy if we had Gale as captain.

Very happy with this, Stevie Ward made captain

Me too, correct decision.

if he stays fit then perfect

Fingers crossed he can stay fit. Very good choice though.

Logical choice but assumes a certain level of fitness which ultimately isn't guaranteed for any player.

Assume gale will be vice captain.

I stand by my original comments though that the team needs a number of players with captain attributes making who has the actual armband more of a symbolic thing.

I think so too ,he seems a very level headed sensible young man .

It’s time for him to build a new golden generation legacy.

Pleased with this.

The right man for the job in my view. He'll command the respect of the dressing room, he's got the intelligence for the role and he knows the club.

Yes, his injury history is always going to come up, but how many full seasons have Wigan had out of O'Loughlin in recent years?
