The defender once labelled as a future Scotland stalwart has stagnated.  Even at the tender age of 24, his 200 appearances for the Dons mark him out as an "experienced" player.  Why can't he just screw the nut and concentrate on becoming a better defender?  Maybe he never was one in the first place and that his defensive colleagues bailed him out on numerous occasions.

 

What is the future, if any, for Zander Diamond at AFC?

Probably, was it about the 2nd goal from last week?

aye, said something like "If you're Zander Diamond, and a long ball is heading your direction do you: a) head it back to the keeper b) kick it out the park or c) chest it gently into the path of the opposition striker?"

Zander Diamond = laughing stock.

 

We should punt him if I thought we might somehow manage to get a semi decent replacement for him.

To be honest Kow, it seems like we'd be better playing with 10 men the way he's playing these days.

At the very least the club should announce a new vice captain.

 

It's fair enough giving some allowance for fitba players being retarded, but if you're going to be given a position of responsibility you have to live up to that. He hasn't, he is probably  going to leave in the summer for free, he has been pish for a long long time. As I indicated in the other thread, having Kerr as captain made a joke of the club, having Zander as a vice captain currently makes us a disgrace.

 

He could mature and deserve the responsibility in future, but I doubt he'll be playing for us long enough. More likely he'll fuck off somewhere else to bury his head in the sand.

Suggestions for a replacement vice captain? No one immediately springs to mind...

Langfield. Maybe even Considine. Zander certainly doesn't deserve to be ahead of them, or anyone else. Even if not for this facebook pish, Kerr being captain when he expressed no desire to commit to the club was a joke. Same with zander as vice.

Yoann Folly. Steady hand in the team, going to be picked every week, that'll do.

I think that is a very good shout bobby. Certainly no one else is worthy of even a mention at the moment.

Folly, probs the best shout.

McArdle or Vernon? -

Langfield, is out for that reason, MM cant decide betwen him and Howard. not playing week in week out

Considine - too young?

The obvious candidate is unfortunately out on loan at the moment

well yes, but I still think out of the others, Folly is the only realistic option. I'm not a fan of strikers being captains(vice). Despite the fact that Vernon is also one of the few of the team that is doing anything at the moment.

Foster needs to concentrate all his energies on his own game, he definitely isn't captain material.

I was hoping our new captain would bring some discipline back into the squad but it seems, if anything, that there's even less of it.

 

But the whole club is rotten from top to bottom.  Fans are turning their backs and players quite clearly don't want to play for the club.

 

There seems to be a huge lack of pride with all things AFC and if the main man can't give a rat's ass then I'm not surprised it's filtering all the way down.
