Club captain Matt Palmer came in for some criticism for not being a vocal leader on the pitch. As a result other names were put forward to replace him. So what do we think, should our captain be a vocal leader on the pitch or lead by example?

It may be the criticism of Matt Palmer was due of the fact he wasn’t back to his best form and the team in general was not playing well. Now we’re seeing the Matt Palmer of old and with team performances improving, I personally think his leading by example works well for us. What does everyone think? Vocal or example?

In short, I believe a Club captain should lead by example & also be vocal when it is needed.

I agree that Matt is back to his best & he does lead by example because he's the consummate professional & his fellow players look up to him.

When a Captain has that level of respect being a little more vocal when it's needed would bring positivity to the team & when I say more vocal that doesn't need to include shouting but can include encouragement & feedback.

Let me also just say that a Club Captain will not just have a role on the playing field but also have a role on the training ground, & before a match, during the match, including at half time & after the match.

Both. Everyone can and should lead by example - you don't need a title or an armband to do that. Having the authority to be vocal with your teammates is part of the captain's job.
