That is a factor, granted. The point is Leon still wouldn't have been free scoring if he hadn't left.

I think the club made it clear that 4th bottom was good enough, why is that stupid - of course they are going to try and win every game but the aim at the start of the season would have been to stay up.

He did start last season reasonably well and our pacey counter attacking game did suit him (the ball being on the floor being the key), however other events spiralled out of control.

OK, but with the sound turned down - apart from a little grunt now and then. Simple tastes for me.Kinky Gerbils said:

I was always willing to give Leon the benefit of the doubt. He was our most talented footballer by a country mile and in the early part of that season most of our good moves came through him.
The problem was a player with his ego seemed to either blame everyone else for the fact he wasn't scoring, or just shrug his shoulders and dissappear.
And I think McGhee tried with him. Giving him the responsibilities of being our creative midfielder and giving him the captains armband.
It didn't work though.

I agree with a lot of that.
However I do wonder if a lot of the off the field issues had been dealt with sooner, the squad might be stronger now.

He took advantage of the void in the dressing room create by the departures of Cullip, Watson, Jones etc and was part of a fairly disruptive clique and I would say racial tactics were used by them.

That the clique was generally the players of afro-carribean origin. Things got to a stage that whenever they were pulled up on anything, the players would question whether the motives behind this were to do with race. Those players used race to cause issues.

Leon Knight had to go but the situation should never have been allowed to get that far.
We would be a better team with him and we would have had a better chance staying up last season with an on form Leon Knight playing off the shoulder of the last defenders instead of him being used as a scapegoat.
