Looks like Nisbet has been confirmed as this season's captain with Brad Lyons (vice)
Hard to argue with that choice.

All the best Kev go on and become a Dons legend min.

More legitimacy for his appeals to refs for fouls ,corners etc that he already does well.

I would imagine his team talk will revolve around

1,

"get the ball to me in the box in front of the goal "

2,

see number 1

I'd argue with it and have before.

Far prefer for a captain to see the game in front of him instead of looking back to see it behind him.

Guess it comes back to the whole point of having multiple leaders on the field. Hopefully it adds to his game rather than drags it down with responsibility.

In fairness he did that for a lot of last season 😮

Yeah I think Nisbet wears it but leading the team is down the to 6 Robinson said last week were his leadership team for lack of batter way of putting it

well he has certainly started taking to it well. There was a fair amount of pressure on that spot kick against the diets.
And to stand up and slot it away as confidently as he did, speaks volumes for his character. Most of the pundits I have heard comment on it all saying the same thing.

I get the leadership thing that Robinson and other keep mentioning but somebody needs to walk oot first and wear the arm band and personally I think he is the perfect choice for that form what we have. And he has certainly had a solid start to the season and his confidence will grow with every goal.

In fairness, none of the rest of that starting line up from Saturday have been there long enough to work out where the tunnel even is
