Scott Johnson :
“ Cardiff have had about six different captains during BBM’s time, largely due to a variety of absences, but they’ve lacked a consistent leadership presence in the side.”
“He also seems to currently have a bench with two or three young players he has absolutely no intention of using.”

I wouldn't be surprised if Bielik is captain next season. He has all the credentials. Chambers will be out of contract and probably leave.

Bielik does seem like a natural leader and someone the young kids can look to when it gets tough

Well he wouldn't have been as passive as NG in the penalty incident.... be a good captain thats for sure... as for the subs will say its bbms achilles heal! He's right why put someone on bence no intention of using bit like the stupidity of 2 keepers on bench? Restricting how many you're going to use on bench just means got less choice and commits him to certain players even if not what team needs at time.

To be fair I think if ng lawlor rubin robbo and salech are fit then we won't have to use the young lads it all comes back to a shit transfer window and our lack of depth

Not fussed on Scott Johnson, wasn't he "red or dead" ?

It's a pointless concept of a bygone era. BBM is almost an NFL coach screaming instructions almost by the second. The days of Kav rolling up his sleeves and changing stuff are a decade old.

NFL is a game of stops and starts. You still need a leader on the pitch.

Not sure, but others on here were of the same ilk, and were allowed to move on

That's why I think Bielik will be captain by next season. Robertson may have had the armband yesterday but it was Bielik providing leadership.

Definitely lack of depth in squad but in my view he doesn't use subs at right times never as done! Most managers are pro active before an event happens but bbm always reacts to a problem like yesterday waited until two down before changing things (not for 1st time) yet it was clear before their goals what boro was doing and if bbm changed personnel to counter it we may never have conceded.... not a coincidence that we looked better after the changes otherwise we would have lost the game.... its frustrating as we looked good before boro changed things ...we have the squad but its not utilised adequately.
