Yes, Dael would lead by example but also has the Boro passion doesn't he. And also would not be shy to have a word with players.
I guess alongside him big Darragh might feel he never really relinquished his captain's armband. Only injury took that away from him. Perhaps he needs a period of fitness first.
Lenihan is a better option that Fry, Fry is just too quiet and doesn’t guide or organise enough. Im not one for a token gesture so for me it should be our best leader and that’s Lenihan. Fry is also far too nice and doesn’t have that nasty edge that’s sometimes needed.
Fry and Lenihan can’t captain from the treatment room , where they spend half a season
.Jones and Brittain are 27 and are here for a while , it should be one of them .
