Big Trav Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Jason knight. by far one of the most tenacious and skill full players I’ve seen has the heart of a lion and as Neil warnock would say ‘never shirks a fricking tackle’ one of Derby’s players of the years imo. Scored some important goals and very effective at driving at defences. Can’t wait to see him in his proper position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OoooMarkWright Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Love his attitude! He has a proper will to win. As you say never sherks a challenge, has energy to burn and will run through a brick wall for the team. He’s tenacious and will be a big big player. Will be an excellent box to box goal scoring midfielder. Excited to watch him progress, thought he played very well today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBB Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Moment last night when right infront of the benches their player was trying to shield the ball and knight simply grabbed him by the shirt and threw him to the ground like a rag doll. Obvious foul but I love when players simply wont let another get away with a simple ball shielding out of touch without leaving something on them. Martin does it too.

Taribo Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 What I love about all our youngsters is their ball retention without being overly defensive. Very very rarely will one of them lose possession from a silly mistake, far less so than many of our other players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No surprised that they've picked up Cocu ball with greater ease. I love Knight. The only thing missing in his game is an obvious first choice position. Some say Irish Bryson, I say rich man's Jamie Hanson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millenniumram Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Think people definitely under appreciate what he brings to the Team. Player of the year is a bit of a stretch given he had a poor start to the season, but he’s been a lot better since he settled in. Personally I still see him as more of an off the bench impact type player at present, but that’s still an important role. The work rate he brings when he’s on the pitch, especially in terms of tracking back, can really help the team when they’re trying to hold onto a lead. He’s got a goal or two in him as well, particularly from counter attacks, which is a good trait to have on the pitch. Don’t think he’s a winger in any way shape or form mind. His skill set is much more suited to that number 10 role, and I think that’s where you’ll see him at his best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BramcoteRam84 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Doesn’t have the same physical presence but a very similar player to his Irish predecessor Mr Hendrick, Bryson is also a good comparison Another great prospect. Think he’ll kick on again next season. Not sure where to play him, definitely in a central position, but if you play him in the 2 that means you leave out Bird or Rooney, play him at 10 you leave out Sibley. If Derby switched back to 4-3-3, think that would suit him as it did Bryson and Hendrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Derby switched back to 4-3-3, think that would suit him as it did Bryson and Hendrick I imagine there will be a bit of rotation between Knight, Lawrence, Sibley, *new RW*, and Waghorn. Whittaker to get a few games here and there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuff264 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 I like Knight but I do worry hes going to become victim of being good at a few positions but not great at any. His best position is probably as a shuttler in a midfield 3, would probably make a decent wide midfielder in a classic 4-4-2 but hes definitely not an out and out winger. Next season he might have a problem finding himself a regular place in midfield, Rooney and Bird seem to be first names on team sheet and Sibley seems to be preferred in the attacking role.

I’ve said this before i think he’s got everything, except the self belief that he belongs at this level hence he’s been tentative in games. That goal could be the start for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkFruitsRam7 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Scores goals as well. He could definitely get 10 in a season if he settles into a starting berth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anag Ram Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Bird, Knight and Bielik for me. Sibley needs to be behind a front two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I compare him to Hanson, though he is obviously much more talented. It's the curse of not being crap at anything. It means a player breaks into the first team doing a job in any position, but they never master one in particular. Took years for Henderson to fulfill his potential for a very similar reason - it's only clicked for him when he's learned to play one position properly under a world class coach. He'll probably end up playing somewhere weird. Tell me if I'm mad but - is there a chance he might turn into a full back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taribo Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Shoot me down, but... if Rooney starts next season playing like he has since the restart then I can see him transitioning into non-playing staff rather quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igorwasking Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Hart Bogle. Te Weirek. Bielik Lowe Bird Knight. Rooney Sibley Martin. Marriott solves the winger issue and not a penny spent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
