Leon Knight not in squad....

[Da Man Clay]

Leon, 7 in 50.
Jake, 1 in 11.
Colin, 5 in 18 (3 of the goals and 10 of the starts at League Two level).

Robinson is 12 and 2.

If you divide the amount of goals by the amount of apperances it reads as follows.

Leon = 1 goal every 7.14 games.
Jake= 1 goal every 6 games.
CKR= 1 goal every 3.6 games or for us 1 goal every 4 games.

Leon therefore has the worst srike rate!

 

[CHAPPERS]

There's teaching Knight and lesson and there is being plain stupid. If Leon has been dropped for his actions on Tuesday then Ill be ASTOUNDED, McGhee would have made a right BALLS UP. You have a chat to him, as he has done in the past, and tell him to go and show why he shouldn't be subbbed. Leaving your best player at home is NEVER a good idea.

Saying that, I think he'll play.

Even though we won at West Ham without him?

So you can add Jake's goals in the Conference but not Leon's in Division Two?


Is it because he's black??

Please try and keep up

To be fair though, you should only really judge them on goals scored at the same level.

Happy how can we compare the last second division season, Jake and Ckr were just not playing then.
They were both only 16 then

 

[Silent Bob]

Well how can we compare Leon as he has never played at such a low level? The lowest he has played is Division Two where for us he scored 26 in 46 for us, and 16 in 31 for Huddersfield.

Bit late in on this thread, but anyone know why suddenly it seemed Leon "switched off" in the second half against Wolves?

McGhee mentions that "I don't think there was a single person in he ground who disagreed with my decision"

I didn't, if anythin he was to slow to do it I thought!

It's a shame, Leon has been playing so well of late and without that attitude we saw often last year.

He will be missed.

I give up with you Bob. You put the data up and I used it for the last one and half season's.
Even Virgo who was a defender did better than him last season..

I give up with you because you clearly have some kind of pathological dislike for Leon Knight. Why the last one and a half seasons? Why not just each players stats AT THIS LEVEL?

Sorry, i meant we should only judge them on the Championship. That is the only division they've all played.

Comparing goal stats is interesting but missing the point a bit - it's a question of recent form. He is being threatened with being dropped because he was very ineffective in one game on Tuesday against Wolves, after not being particularly on top form against Ipswich, and aggravated it by petulant behaviour.

We have other options up front that deserve their chance now - it's about them getting their chance, not about Leon, and I'm sure we're all united in hoping Leon will do much better than against Wolves when his chance comes again (which I'm sure it will soon given the amount of good games he's had this season).

Knight does get a lot of unfair criticism but you have to allow for the possibility that sometimes it's deserved. This time is one of those latter cases.

So you would say being totally dropped is justified? He may not have been at his best the last two games, but no other striker has been as effective as him.

I think he needed to be shown that the world doesn't revolve around him. He was poor against Wolves and deserved to be subbed. He shouldn't have acted the way he did, and i'm sure this will only prove to be positive for the team as a whole.

If El Turi, Jake or CKR play well and score tomorrow, then people won't even care Leon never played.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Leon has a girlfriend up in Huddersfield according to an interview he came.

What he has to realise is that McGhee has worked hard to get where he is. He picks the team and deserves respect from his players. He made the decision to take off Leon, and he should live with that.

Leon was probably due a rest, he is a small chap and still young, and 50 games or so depending how we do in the FA Cup is a lot.

If he has the right attitude he will come back in the next game bayng for blood.

Yes, in our current circumstances where we have lots of competition up front, Leon can't have an indifferent run of games if he wants to stay in the team. El Turi hasn't had a start yet, he deserves his chance. And Kazim-Richards has been more effective than Knight this past week. Jake has weaknesses but his movement brings something to the team that the other 3 don't have.

It's called competition Silent Bob, and we should be applauding it rather than morosely getting cross and slagging off McGhee and the rest of the squad every time that one of our little "favourites" don't make the starting 11.

 

[Silent Bob]

Leon Knight isn't one of "my little favourites". I think he should be in the squad to face Stoke as he is one of if not out best player. I can't comment on his effectiveness in the Sheffield Wednesday game as I was not there, but in the Ipswich and Wolves gameshe was more effective then Kazim-Richards and certainly Robinson. Obviously I can't comment on Turienzo as he's only made two breif sub appearences.
