EulogyForEvolution Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 He's fast becoming my favourite player. As some other posters have mentioned, his reaction to the penalty miss was electric! He has the passion of Sibley and the maturity of Bird. He's also incredibly consistent for his age. Our youth prospects are exceptional and I think he's the best of the bunch.

Marriot Ram99 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Sibleys our best prospect hands down imo, just not quite ready to be starting most games this year and is probably the least mature and consistent out of our young players he should develop alot you would hope by the back end of the season. If I was ranking the 5 around the team as prospects I would go: 1. Sibley 2. Knight 3. Whittaker 4.Bird 5. Buchanan Putting Bird 4th is controversial to some but I think the 3 above him are better prospects with Whittaker and Sibley standing out the most at youth level and Knight looking the most equipped to playing week in week out championship football at the minute. Atleast 2 of those will make it as Premier league quality players you would hope with most of them hopefully making it at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another season or two improving at this rate and he’ll be a massive player for somebody else. Big “if”, though. The greatest talent produced in my generation will be playing against us for Watford in our next fixture. I was talking about bielik lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 I wonder if Knight could do a job up front. He has good awareness of being in the right place at the right time, and his finishing isn't too sloppy. His high work rate and fitness would also help. I'm not saying start him there every match, but (especially if we don't bring anyone in) I think he'd offer an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brammie Steve Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Jason Knight has a great tactical mind and puts himself in the right place half a second ahead of the game. Rooney might take a leaf out of Dave Mackay's book. A great player who, when he slowed down a little, played out from the middle but never stopped shouting instructions to the team throughout the match. The players trusted his judgement and reacted quickly. Those fractions of a second make the difference between a near miss and a goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammeister Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I see Knight as a young Roy Keane. I believe he has immense potential, and actual levels of consistency in the side are probably higher than the other ‘prospects’ at this moment in time. Whittaker is getting better every time he gets on the pitch and becoming a bit of nightmare for the opposition when he runs on to them. I also like his confidence in taking a shot. Buchanan had a good last game for us, but I think just needs to be more spatially aware of what sort of runs the opposition will make when the have set plays or are attacking. Bird just needs that confidence to play the ball forward more, and looks happier when Rooney is nearer him. Sibley will benefit from some respite from playing at the moment, and to fulfil his obvious potential needs to figure out how he will get out of situations where he is heavily marked in matches as opposing teams clearly see him as a danger. Scoring the hat trick so early on in his career might, in hindsight, not have helped his immediate development- though his potential and class is there to see.
