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.

Anyone who was at Plymouth and saw the back pass right after HT will say get rid … small fee with large sell on

Ronnie, Plymouth reference. This is so easy for lol counts to be increased
I don't think Ness is underrated. I think pretty much everyone can see that there's potential in there, but that's pretty worthless if it can't be realised. He's played 29 EFL games. In the first 15 of those he was quite good. Not brilliant, but quite good. He kept Terell Thomas and Ryan Inniss out of the team. He missed out on developing more that season with an injury and this season he should have kicked on but in his subsequent appearances he's been awful. He started the first three games of the season and was so bad he got dropped. He's a player who despite playing less than 800 minutes in the league this season managed to get hauled off at half time twice. He started in every one of our miserable cup performances, seeing us go out of the League Cup against Newport and the FA Cup against Gillingham. He also scored the stupid own goal that gave us the honour of drawing against 700th tier Cray Valley.
That's really, really bad. He's 22 years old, he's not an 18 year old who still has to develop physically. You can see all the confidence has drained out of him and I don't think a Nathan Jones team is the place to get that back. The best thing for him is to leave and try and rebuild himself to realise some of that potential. On his day he's strong and a good passer, but at the moment the most you can say about his career is 'generally better than Ryan Inniss' which just isn't enough
Be interested to see where Ness ends up, as recall him being linked with Bournemouth and Norwich before he broke through with us - Cant see that type of move happening now

Love the Freddie Potts suggestion further up the thread too.
Nelson Abbey style?
