Brighton & Hove Albion v. Hull City (Official Thread)

[Rangdo]

Does anyone else think like me, I really dont give a shit if Leon Knight parts company with us in January, he has not and never will deliver the goods.

Leon is an absolutely quality player. Unfortunately he suffers from an inferior team supporting him.

Seems to have the same problem with every team he plays for, poor Leon

I'd have Knight ahead of anyone at the club - but only if his attitude is right. If it isn't then he's a liability.

and there you have McGhee's quandry

He's like any player, when the rest of the team is playing well he plays well. In our play-off season he was shit-hot because at the time he scored the majority of his goals we were in championship form. Since then we've been scraping around the bottom so obviously he isn't going to be scoring 20 goals a season.
If he doesn't get the support he isn't going to get in positions to score.

However, he is not a shorter version of Bobby Z , skillwise . I wonder if the character of Eugene Rose in Dream Team is based upon Leon ?

He is a very very talented player I agree, but harsh to blame his team mates for his drop in form. Class players look class most of the time in any team, with the right attitude imo

Like to know what's happened - must have had a huge bust up with McGhee. This might be the final straw for McGhee.

 

[Jim D]

More like the final straw for Leon.

 

[Brighton till i die]

Mccammon off Jake on

 

[Jim D]

We're still holding on. Big Mac's off though (injured) Jake on. 30 secs of normal time.

 

[Seasider]

hang on in there

 

[Jim D]

4 mins stoppage time.

 

[REDLAND]

Yes I do, nearly all Saturday home games and a few away, and from what I have seen Knight can't score, sorry but he has to go.

SO what would YOU do about it then ?

Perhaps I worded it poorly. I don't blame anyone specifically. I think he suffers from a lack of a creative midfield which will maybe be partially solved with the skill of Frutos and Carole. Regardless, I think he is by far the most skillful striker we have and to wish him out of the club on the basis of an issue that we know nothing about (which I know wasn't you by the way) is very shortsighted.
