First since Sharp was handed the armband, not much to surprise the masses: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03wssbh#in=collection:p031xqzh
Aside from the obvious happiness of being made captain, a few things...
On the failure last year: Not just about the 11 on the pitch, you have to have 10 off it ready to step in. It's easy when you're winning and people aren't playing, but when times were hard we didn't have enough leaders or people on the pitch willing to drive us forward.
Couldn't get the right rhythm and belief last season. Wasn't surprised Adkins went, as Adkins himself would have felt they would have made playoffs as a minimum. Has spoken to him since and Adkins said he was disappointed.
