Come on Dave, we know EVERYONES opinion on Leon Knight by now.
Just you wait for THPP to come on and say.
Leon Knight, He's alright

Abort, retry, fail
CKR and others past and present have been vilified for not putting any effort in.
The Leon Knight that I saw in the last two seasons was taking us for a ride. He was one of the highest paid members of the squad and can you say that he earned his pay packet?
I expect nothing less than 100% from players donning the Brighton shirt. Of course, I would love for him to be banging in goals for Brighton, but I would also loved for him to be a a team player and toe the line.

I'm sorry and I know it doesn't help matters at all, but I wholeheartedly agree with DTG. With someone like Leon in our squad this year, we would be sorted. Whatever part he played in the bust-up with McGhee, he was one of highest-paid players in our squad for a reason : he was our best player. I was really quite pissed off to see him go and wasn't "happy" at all.

There are other areas of ther team that need drastic improvement.
*A decent left back.
*A centre midfielder who can create chances.
*A frontman who can score goals as well as hold the ball up, a Gifton Noel Williams - esque player.
And that's just for starters.

However with a 25 goal striker a lot of these problemswould vanish as his goals would win games.

Why? I haven't stated any opinion, it's a factual comment.
Do you dispute that, in more than 60 games with us, the best part of a season and a half, he could only find the net for us 7 times in open play? That's worse than Mark McCammon's scoring rate when he was with us.
All FACTS

Yes but Mccammon is an INTERNATIONAL and you expect him to outscore everyone.

Trigger said:The difference between that and 7 wins in 60 games which is similar to what Mr McGhee had?... Excuse my ignorance but they both had a job to do and both had similar statistics, one however you praise, one you don't?...
Yes, because it was Knight's failure to score that led to McGhee's stats, not the other way round.

So you'd rather have Gary Hart up front than someone like Leon Knight this season? I think in a way we would be sorted if Leon was with us this year. He scores goals at this level, end of.
