MackworthRamIsGod Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 He had a storming game against Norwich in central midfield, his natural position, anyone else surprised he hasnt featured in central midfield since? We had 3 strikers on the bench, if any of them are deemed fit enough to play, start with one and put Knight in midfield where he is clearly nost effective. I honestly thought Jamal Hector-Ingram would start tonight with Knight in the centre, JHI didnt even get a minute. I fear with Cocu that he sees Knight as Mr Dependable and he will constantly be shifted from position to position, when really he should be first name on the team sheet for me at the minute, in the middle and everyone else can fit round him!

Not at all surprised, Cocu does random things where players are concerned. Can’t see how it will help any of our young players development.

JarodyDCFC Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 He’s a ghost when he plays on the wing. I forgot he was on the pitch tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was set to put is 1 up before the bling lino interfered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He strayed to the wing so much I thought he was playing there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Pretty much exactly what I said before the game. Jason Knight has never, and will never, be a winger. He’s a centre mid, and he’s to to be playing there in any formation. To be fair, he did play more centrally today, but he was too far forward to have a real impact on the game. He needs to be the main man in that midfield two imo, that’s where he will have the biggest positive impact on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadowplay Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 He’s been the highlight of the season for me. My MoM again last night by a country mile. He still has more energy in the last 90 than some do in the first minute, but his game is so much more than running around. Look at the amount of times he intercepts the ball through reading of the game and he rarely loses possession. In fact his game craft has improved considerably this season, look at the amount of free kicks he wins for the team. Cracking player, can’t speak highly enough of him - first name on the team sheet.

Dcfcsr92 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Get bird out the midfield and Knight in there absolutely dreadful bird was last night and doesn't deserve a place in the team anymore he needs a few games out and bring him back in in a few weeks! Achually thought we missed Rooney last night even tho i dont think he does much but missed a good set piece taker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want to see him having that sort of influence in the middle, a player like that can take pressure of the defenders and really help the strikers (strikers ?).

jcidaho Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 When we won, wasn't Knight in midfield with Shinnie? Seems a regression to move him again. (ah re-reading the thread, many make the same point - sorry). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuff264 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 If we go 5-4-1 against Forest, he has to drop into the two with Shinnie and Waghorn going up front instead of Bird. Long term I'd like him in a freer role, as he had for most of last night, but we need his energy and battle in the centre of midfield right now.

tomsdubs Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 We need Knight and Shinnie in centre mid on Friday, Jozwiak and Lawrence supporting Waghorn upfront. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derbyram1983 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Knight is one of the plus points of this season. Our best and most consistent player. Not through any type of skill, technique (though he does possess this) but sheer hard work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampant Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 I thought Knight was in the Ireland squad but he's nowhere to be seen against England. Any ideas? Injured? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
