Not sure I agree. Hemmings has been woefully out of form with the pressure of scoring goals and I thought taking the arm band off him may relieve some pressure. He’s had mental health issues so it may have helped but like you say it could upset him and go the other way…Personally, I think changing the armband mid-season is a snub to the player relinquishing it unless, of course, he wants to. I'm sure it would have had a more detrimental impact on Hemmings than a positive one on Davies. The time for changing your skipper is at the start of the season. I would be amazed if Davies didn't view it that way.
Either way my own view is that a captain should be a centre back or mid as they can see everything in front of them. Not a striker or a keeper for that matter.
