Noticed that Romaine Sawyers was the Brentford captain at Stoke yesterday.
Turns out that Dean Smith has implemented an interesting system where they don’t have a permanent captain but a senior ‘leadership group’ amongst the first squad that chooses who will take the captaincy for each game.
With Chambers injured and probably in his last season as a player, is this a system that could promote the leadership qualities Keates wants the Walsall squad to develop?
