Interesting that he was Jones captain, wonder if he comes in he’d be captain here as at the moment it looks like Docherty is gonna get it .
Docherty had the armband today when he came on, but A.Mitchell, Berry and L.Jones have all also had it this pre-season. Feels like it’s being shared around so Jones is having a look a different people in the role before selecting a captain and vice

Docherty had it vs Goztepe , Millwall and today when he came I’d say he’s favourite at the moment.

In all honesty I hope it's a bit academic who ends up with the actual armband. Docherty, Godden, Mitchell, maybe Potts and the hypothetical GK we still seem to be chasing, we'd be looking at leadership all across the pitch and that's something we have lacked for a while - Dobson was brilliant at leading by example but wasn't the type to be shouting instructions at other players.
Interesting stat from ChicagoAddick, Lucas Ness hasn't featured in any pre season friendly, I could be wrong but I believe Zac Mitchell has appeared in all of the friendlies so far and from the ones I've seen, you can see why, he can pass out of defence.

I recall Garner’s last game when both of them were young . Zac looked head and shoulders above Ness - stronger , quicker , better on the ball. Ness then went on a decent run but looked pretty hopeless last season, admittedly in a terrible team.

Theres a good player in Ness. Can see him move to a League Two but in a season or two be playing higher. May even get a League One gig this summer.
Ness is underrated and a good player. Anyone who saw him play away art Man Utd in the cup game would be surprised that he is being let go. He was excellent that night against Premier League attackers.

He can raise him game in front of 70,000 but is dog shite against port vale!
He suffered very badly with second season syndrome. As the manager has given him zero minutes so far, I would suggest the manager feels that second season syndrome is his level.

The issue isn't his talent though, it's his consistency.
I haven't seen anyone say Ness is a bad player. But the expectation in July 2024 is that he is further along in development than he currently is. I still think he will have a decent career, not sure it will be with us though.

Should have got Klopp as manager if that was going to be our strategy 🙂
Love the Freddie Potts suggestion further up the thread too.
Nelson Abbey style?
