I don't think anyone will notice, what's the point of him playing if he's going to be stranded out on the left wing anyway?

I didn't fancy goin all the way to Burnley but it goes to show every cloud has a silver lining. Harding may finally have someone in front of him who understands what playing in midfield means.

Knight has had so many silly bookings this season. The same really for Carpenter when he got sent off. It really lets the side down.

Meaning what exactly? I thought Knight did very well under very difficult circumstances on Saturday. He's an attacking player played wide to try to get decent balls into the big front men, the fact that he didn't get the service to the wong often enough nulifies this threat (together with the fact that our two 'strikers' don't get to the box quick enough) and he is forced deeper and deeper and becomes a defensive wide player which is clearly something that should not happen. Knight needs to be playing up front where he can pick the ball up nearer the goal instead of on the half way line with 5 players to beat before he will become any more effective.

And don't start blaming him for getting booked people, he's not a player that plies his trade tackling, he's a goalscorer. It's a damn shame that he'll be leaving in the summer but I don't blame him one bit.

I thought Knight was awful on Saturday. We will miss him though as he can put a quality ball in the box.

Looks like a starting place for Nathan Jones then! How long till Kerry is back? Or possibly an opportunity return to the 3-5-2 formation Charlie, Chippie and Hammond in the middle.

Jake has to be recalled, we need some pace even if just off the bench.

Jones will come in.. he is playing for his career now, so will surely bust a gut... not that he doesn't do so anyway

and don't forget that Virgs is teetering on a two match ban if he gets a yellow against Preston and leicester!!!!!:eek:

That's far more worrying!

Losing Leon is a blow as although his form is inconsistent, when he plays well, we play well. But the compensation is we have a tactical system that we showed at West Ham that can employ wing backs to get the crosses in that Leon is meant to supply.

Im sure Robinson would have scored at least twice as many goals as Knight if hed played the same number of games as Knight has

I think Chippy has got off lightly - his sending off was one of the most stupid by an Albion player in many years but he hasn't had that much criticism.
