It's not doing him much good to have hopeful (aka hopeless) balls belted into acres of space while he's marked tightly, or at head height, or on the wide wing, or while he's got 3 defenders to get past with no help - and expect LK to work wonders alone.
Virgo is still an 'apprentice' forward as far as I saw, and doesn't have a tuned-in rapport with Knight that worls for them both. If we had a proper partner with some quick mind for clever flick-ons and return passes into space, then I believe we'd get even better return for that and so would Knight.
It's a wonder how we are doing as well as we are with the single-dimension style of play we have, but full credit to the players and manager for getting these results. They are deserved, but let's not blame Leon all the time for having a different style of play to the 'heads-down and hoof-it' players. He's a player with flair, and I don't know if we really want to exclude them from our game-plan forever in favour of grinding out 1-goal games with resilient defences.
If I were manager, I'd be looking to complement LK and accomodate his game a little more - not flog the bloke or wear him down and stunt his skills.
