Leon Knight Today.

[mrhairy]

Knight also looked sharp last week. He is class on the ball and he scares defences more than any other player we have. When he is on the pitch they are mindful of him if they push up too far as he has the pace.

 

[Beach Hut]

Well I abstained this week (for work reasons and a bonus night out in Amsterdam) but Leon is certainly looking better by the week.

Which is nice

If you're reading this Leon, keep it going matey! We ALL still love ya!

Leon playing well against the worst team in the Div. Now that's a surprise. Isn't his job to find the back of the net? i wonder if he will be more successful against some real opposition. If he doesn't perform hen MM has every right to drop him. Isn't it more a disgrace that Leon has only now decided to turn it on since MM has shown that he will not be held to ransom by Leon being the only recognised striker and has kept him on the bench the last few games. Still didn't score today did he. What Leon needs is a live game so that he can raise his game in front of the cameras.

There's nothing like cutting edge satire! That really captures the essence of a borderline-depressive talking complete and utter cobblers, well done sir!



Having moaned about Harding and Knight, are you about to go and hang yourself to really top a cheery evening? How much do you enjoy the defeats when you are this jolly about the wins?

 

[Yorkie]

Both Leon and Steve worked extremely hard today. I was hard put to decided which of them got my MOM.

 

[Schrödinger's Toad]

Knight really showed what he can do when he turns and runs with the ball - his finishing will improve doubtless, it's good to see him getting the chances. Just needs to hit the target, but showed his creative abilities as well, played in Claridge brilliantly and whipped in the best crosses of the team. Just a goal short of 10/10

 

[Mustela Furo]

He was excellent today and he deserved to score, I really hope McGhee doesn't drop him next week.

McGhee went on record after the match as saying that Virgo DEFINITELY STARTS UP FRONT next week.

His comment on Leon ... "he did okay"

He does seem a fraction blinkered with respect to Leon. It's all very well criticising as long as you give respect where it's due.

Virgo and Knight next week. Would I lie to you?

 

[skr80]

thought he put a bit of effort in today...

Good point, I guess that adds a fresh perspective on things.

 

[Porky]

I can't understand this love in with Knight. Of course he should be impressive against the worst team in the Division.
He should be measured by the nuber of times he hits the back of the net, not how smart he is at running rings around lowly teams.

 

[larus]

Yes, but goal scoring is a mixture of luck, confidence and ability.

LK has the ability - no doubt in my mind.

The confidence has been in short supply for some reason this season, although it is coming back.

Luck is not with him at the moment. He had a couple of half-chances today, which if things were going well for him, he would have scored from.

As has been mentioned already, he is the most threatening player we have by a long way, and we should get behind him, and not on his back. Giving him shit is REALLY going to help isn't it?

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

I'd go with Virgo and Knight at Millwall, give the old fellow a rest. He could always come off the bench to get the winner.

wouldnt change winning side

It's not that hard to comprehend - he was our top scorer last year, remains our best player, and obviously cares about the club. His display today was outstanding, yet people (a minority, albeit) still moan. Okay, he missed a couple of chances, but I think we can forgive him given all he contributed to the team today - his crosses were superb.

But if you only notice him when he scores, you will have missed that.

 

[Hungry Joe]

Sounded great. Did he deserve a penelty or was it a dive?

Neither really. It looked like a fair challenge from the defender using his strength to shield the ball and Leon went down unintentionaly as smaller players often do in a 50/50 shoulder charge. That's the daft thing about the law now; it's either a penalty or a dive. The Ref should've just waived play on.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

i agree mate well said

 

[B.M.F]

I felt really sorry for Leon today. what does the lad have to do o get a break. He deserved a goal today and when he does find the onion bag I think he will get even better. you can see the confidence coming back which can only be a good thing for us.

 

[b.w.2.]

Leon was pure class today, and by far our best player... some people on here obviously weren't watching... Leon deserves credit for his best performance of the season, and unlucky not to score...

MM finally (2 games late, IMHO) gave Leon the chance to play alongside a proper striker... Leon then gives his performance of the season... I think the 2 events can be linked... MM needs to stick with that front paring at Millwall... Virgo to come back in at the back, preferably at cb...
