Reaction to Scott Kerr's 2007/8
By Nathan Jackson May 16 2008
Scott Kerr had a fairly decent season as Lincoln City's captain, that despite John Schofield barely playing him during the first few matches. Kerr scored a screamer at Bury and played more minutes than the majority of the rest of the squad, but his habit of picking up a fair few bookings might inevitably cost him the captaincy.

My opinion of Scott Kerr greatly improved over the season. I used to think that he just seemed to shout "Come On!" at the kick off and wave his arms around for two or three seconds before then disappearing for the rest of the game. Now I think he is a relatively good choice for captain as he is not afraid to give the other players a bollocking when they need one. This all started when he had a go at Dany N'Guessan for misplacing a pass and seemingly not caring about it.

Scott was named as the captain during last summer by Schofield and it would appear the Kerr would be one of the players that the team were built around. Schofield then went on to barely use him in the first few weeks of the season...says it all about Schofield really.

Kerr didn't have a spectacular season but did make some good strides. His vision for a pass improved and he was probably one of the under-rated players of the season.

However, his disipline could definitely use some work. 9 yellow cards and 2 red cards isn't a great record for a captain. It makes you wonder how close Jackson came to taking the captaincy off him given that he stripped Efe Sodje of the Huddersfield captaincy for 3 red cards in 2004/5.

Overall, I think Kerr could be one of the central figures in the promotion push next season, assuming of course that he isn't suspended for half of it.

Best captain for Lincoln in a long time, i still think Beevers deservers a shout but Kerr will always be 1st man.

My opinion exactly Nathan. A great captain (except for the disciplinary record) invisible for the first half of the season but magnificent since Jacko took over with all aspects of his game improving.

i think it is a good contrast having somebody as flamboiant as freck and then a gritty, hard midfielder like kerr.

Schofield was right to drop him at the start of the season I thought, he definately improved as the season went on though.
