Sorry but I don't hold with this belief that dropping Knight automatically means we are weakening the TEAM.
When he is in petulent mood - which he appears to have returned to lately - he is a bloody liability to the team. Throwing himself down, he has to leave the field because he's had 'treatment' and is therefore not on the field when we need him.
During the Ipswich game he was stood on the touchline waiting to be allowed back on when we scorched a cross in, with no-one there to tuck it home. All because the petulent little Leon had feigned another injury.
MM has to make decisions for the whole team, and I bet there are times when Leon's attitude damages the spirit in the dressing room. We are not a good enough side to be able to cope with a poor spirit, we need to be out there fighting for each other.
I'd be surprised if it was just his attitude at being subbed, I think he's probably been a sulky little kid in training since, and MM has had enough.
I a big fan of Leon, but only when his attitude is right. When it's wrong he drives me mad.

And the year before that when he was dropped for Swindon away.
Jake did plenty? He didn't score did he? I'd certainly agree that his movement was good, and he got himself into scoring positions, but the plain fact is that he didn't score. It was exactly the same again on Tuesday - no end product. I'd probably agree that he could come good in the long run but, as someone else said, in the long run we're all dead.
Perhaps he'll finally make the break through against Stoke, but excuse me if I don't hold my breath.

Well, if you buy the new DVD and see the full game, you will see him do a lot of good things. But you will also see him missing our best chance of the game and being too weak on a few 50/50 challenges.
But your point is valid, he wouldn't ever be dropped if he did the number of good things he did in that Palace game against Ispwich and, especially, Wolves. Problem is, he is inconsistent like all our front players, that's why McGhee has to shuffle his deck and give others their chance.

OK Bob, stats at this level on games started in the Championship ONLY
Leon Knight 2004/5 33 games started 4 goals
2005/6 17 games started 3 goals
A total strike rate 1 goal in 7.1 games started in the Championship
CKR 2005/6 8 games started 2 goals
A total strike rate 1 goal in 4 games started in the Championship
Jake Robinson 2004/5 1 game started 1 goal
2005/6 10 games started 1 goal
A total strike rate 1 goal 5.5 games started in the Championship
Gary Hart 2004/5 16 games started 2 goals
2005/6 9 games started 0 goals
A total strike rate of 1 goal in 12.5 games in the Championship
Mark McGammon 2004/5 24 games started 3 goals
2005/6 0 games started 0 goals
A total strike rate of 1 goal in 8 games in the Championship
These are the players you quoted and you will see that Leon is only marginally better than Mark McGammon.
I hope that is level enough for you.
