[Albion] Would You Start Knockaert Tomorrow?

[Stat Brother]

I wouldn't.

palace goal aside he's done nothing this season.
Granted that doesn't distinguish him from anyone else in their half of the pitch, but the message of him starting tomorrow isn't worth the lack productivity we'll get on the pitch.

Best chance of creating an opening, most likely to have an infuriating game. Has to start.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Yes.

On the proviso that if he sees red, he never plays for the club again.

 

[studio150]

Only if he has Bruno behind him

 

[Arkwright]

Only if Bruno starts so that's no.

 

[Albion Dan]

Yes WITH Bruno

This!

 

[Icy Gull]

I wouldn't.

Are you suggesting the other players will not bother putting in a shift if he starts?

 

[HP Seagull]

Starting Knockaert means Solly can’t play in his best position, and he’s been our most consistent winger this season.

Wouldn’t grumble too much if Knockaert does start with March on the left, but for me we should go with March on the right and Jose on the left (purely because no one else can play there), even if he is about 25% fit.

Hughton should tell him before kick-off, lose your head again and I'll list you tomorrow.

and he'll reply, "lose this game and get relegated and I'll list myself"

No, suggesting a player of moderate talent will be elevated to a status far beyond his ability.

Plus the fact all we'll get from him is replays of his palace goal with one very, very critical difference.

Passion with a desire to attack and the energy to defend is what we’ll get. If he plays with Bruno we may even be able to open Newcastle up too. Whether our forward/s arrive in the box to take advantage is another matter altogether.

Passion and desire to attack or temperamental and a ball hog with next to no end product.

Sadly that's a tougher call than it really should be.

 

[pb21]

No.

March starts.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Doesn’t deserve a start, however needs must

I seem to be arguing with everyone tonight, maybe I should log off and come back tomorrow

 

[banjo]

Yes WITH Bruno

This.

We're not arguing more of a contradiction.
Nah both stating our preference and reason why isn't exactly arguing, is it?

Anyway there'll be a whole new set of arguments tomorrow.

Personally, my answer to the question posed by the thread title in 'No, I wouldn't'. I'd let him sit on the bench as a possible impact sub. A minority opinion, I know; fair enough, it's just my opinion.

Solly March? consistent? You may well be right, the trouble is that says nothing for the other three wide players in the first team squad! Our wingers really have been dismal all season.

Well if you come back on here after the game, and Knocky has scored or provided the winning goal, it will be you turn to laugh.
