The last few matches, without him, have shown that Brad, is probably the most important player we have.
Agree, he is the emotional leader we need, but, Joe will be retained as captain, because ... Sometimes you can understand why decisions are made, but know they are maybe not the best, not the one that would be made in the cold light of day.
But, we do not have an on field decision maker, a master tactician, the wise head. Maybe Burger will be that man?
We currently look like a disparate bring yer boots band of unrelated quality players. We are far less than the sum of our parts.
