Ram-a-lama fa fa fa Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 i think weve seen today why he needs to start in the middle. great energy for that run in the 87min. i dont like him out wide. it feels like were just shoe horning him into midfield somewhere to accommodate other players. abit like ericksson did with scholes to fit lampard gerrard beckham in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the big differences between the two is Knight looks as though he enjoys playing and shows it - smiles rather than glowers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derby blood Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 I thought Knight was very good today, gave us much needed energy in the middle, when Bielik is back we will look very strong in the middle 2 of Bird, Bielik, Knight and Shinnie, for me Bielik, and then it will be Bird or Knight, thing is with Knight he does alot of unnoticed work, think he will be a very important player for us for years to come.

jimbo jones Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Great to see Cocu picking him out in his post match interview. And judging by the facial expression, he was very impressed ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millenniumram Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Absolutely love his work rate and energy. He’s one of those players that gives 100% for 90 minutes, week in, week out. A lot of other players in our team could learn from his attitude to the game. He might not have such “special” technical ability compared to Sibley, but at the moment, he’s the more accomplished footballer imo. He’s more consistent, and more reliable on the ball currently. Maybe not a starter every week, but he’s very versatile, and a great player to have in the squad. Was a very good performance from him today as well. No surprise really when deployed centrally, which is by far his best position imo. Worked tirelessly throughout the game, putting in challenges, pressing opponents and getting up and down the pitch. He was one of the few players in our team to actually be brave enough to carry the ball through midfield and drive at the Norwich defence, and his passing was superb all game too. That run to win the freekick arguably won us the game as well. Take a bow Jason lad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’ll probably turn into a Chris Martin thread. Most of the others do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BramcoteRam84 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Knight is definitely a midfielder, need to play him centrally to get the most out of him. We’ve been missing a box to box midfielder and he fits the bill. Even playing out of position he does a job. Almost first name on the team sheet. Be interesting if he goes on to surpass Jeff.

Huge desire, driving runs an eye for goal, and a little bit of nastiness thrown in for good measure. Please Cocu dont stick him on the wing Snap!!! For a while now that’s exactly who I’ve thought he resembles ?? if he’s as anywhere near as good as Keane was then we’ve got a player on our hands ???
