Steve Bone

He's making it uncomfortable for defenders.

He's creating a bit of space for some of those attackers to run into.

And he's probably worth the armband at the moment, I think, in what he's doing.

When he was first made captain, I thought, it's a funny choice as captain.

I'd generally rather have a central midfielder or a defender as captain.

I think most people would see that.

But actually, I think he's probably... To have retained the captaincy for as long as he has, I think John Massino must see...

certain qualities in him and I do think he's delivering of course he needs goals we're all desperate for him to score goals even if it's just one every three games or something like that if he could start doing that brilliant but I do think he's earning his place inside at the moment and I do think just on that if we do buy another striker before the transfer window closes next Monday I think we need to be careful about what

assuming that we need to swap the new man in and Bishop out because I do think you'd lose something from the way we play if you took Bishop out of that starting 11 and we've seen it actually a few times this season when he's not started we don't look quite the same force I don't think so that's one to ponder

He does.

He does, actually.

And where you haven't got Lang doing that at the moment, hopefully we're not going to lose Lang to Preston.

Hopefully he'll be back in our team soon.

Last season we had Ritchie doing that.

Bishop is actually, I think he's taken on a bit more of the pressing duties than perhaps he had last season in doing that.

And yeah, I think John Messina has gone on record as saying he was out on his feet after that Southampton game, which you can understand.

But having said that, I'm sure he'll be back.

He's not a player who wants a rest and he doesn't seem to be a player that the manager thinks needs a rest.

So I think he'll be back out there against West Brom Saturday.

Yeah, I think so far the three we've brought in are good additions.
