Jellyman on Captaincy

Last updated : 05 February 2007 By Editor
"Billy did not tell me until just before the game as I was warming up. It was a bit of a shock really, but I was happy he chose me," he told the Nottingham Evening Post on Monday. "It's a bit difficult trying to gee everyone up and get them going and concentrating on your own game but I gave it a good go and I enjoyed it.

"It's a shame we couldn't get a win because confidence is a lot higher now than it was a couple of months ago.

Jake Buxton however is expected to return to the side for the trip to Stockport, and that would mean Jellyman handing over the armband "I'll be glad to hand it back to Bucko because he has done a really good job and thrived on it since taking it on.

"He's not done it before, but you wouldn't know. Being a local lad there is a lot of pride there and I think that is reflected by how he goes about things on the pitch. He helps get us organised at the back, which you need and also talks to all the players."
