We needed a RB, Jason Knight is not the solution for the season and Oduroh isn’t ready. 

May come back to bite us this one, unless we sign a free agent after the window 

Name a better RB available on our budget than Knights proven to be so far? We'd miss him more as a RB on current form than we do as a midfielder we have plenty of cover in that area.

I think he offers more as a midfield outlet than a RB, not withstanding that he’s done bloody well in that position so far. Oduroh looks Miles off it so far so if Knight gets injured what’s our back up? 

Would have been good to sign a more experienced, dedicated right back for the reasons above. 

Totally admit I’m just being pedantic and ungrateful at this point, the club have performed a minor miracle to bring in who we have considering where we were not 6 months ago.

That's the thing with Knight at RB, he's not let us down defensively and he offers a lot more than any normal RB when we have the ball, which we have and will continue to do so in this league.

Effectively it allows us to have another attacking option on the pitch,  Sibley or McGoldrick in the number 10 role

If Wisdom has kept himself fit id give him a short term contract as cover then that gives the option to move Knight about or if he has made it his spot we have solid back up.

Didn’t we get battered all last year because most of them were playing first team?

But then we are developing other teams players who will probably never play for the first team. Unless there is scope to sign them up?

Someone said rightly earlier its like we have a 12th man, Knight is a cheat code at RB!

Absolutely, I’d happily take back Cyrus Christie also

Definitely not.

He was a liability at CB and offered nothing going forward at RB.

Can you honestly see him overlapping Mendez-Laing on the wing, or dribbling to the edge of the box and firing a shot in on goal, or tucking in next to Bird as an auxiliary playmaker?
