Knight not in the Derby squad tonight; Hourihane only on the bench.

A bit of luck a move happens in January. Derby will get decent compensation if he moves to another English club next summer but get pittance if he were to move abroad.
Could take the risk that whatever interest was there with potential German clubs was just paper talk or sell for around £2m. |

Sounds like he is playing in CM. It would be so good for him and us if he can nail that position down his development can kick on from there.

[QUOTE=kevin100]I'd agree he's more an 8 then a 10 as such. Allowing for that he was a shadow he was playing as a 10 in previous windows too.
Smallbone Ronan and potentially Azaz are the obvious 3 we have to jump forward for that 10 position. Felt sorry for Smallbone tonight only when Azaz came on had he someone to link up with and we finished off the game okay. [/QUOTAgree re Smallbone, Crawford has made him look poor. If he had just let him play ball with Connolly and Azaz in both legs, we may well have won, Israel were not great at all.

He's not a 10 and we should stop playing him there, he's probably better at RWB

Knight escaping any sort of criticism but thought he was very quiet these two games. A shadow of the player we saw in previous windows.
Obafemi got a hard time for kicking off over not getting his transfer but maybe Knight should be taking a leaf out of his book. Have to kick on when you have momentum. Don't see him playing PL football tbh now and if he's not careful he will linger down in L1 for his career. A wing back in L1 is embarrassing really for a midfield player of his talent.

Obviously from our pov, it would be great if he used Knight in any of the three central midfield positions given that is also how we set up. I personally see Knight as an 8, rather than a 6 or a 10, a proper box to box type. I dont think RWB would be a particularly good use of his skill set, but after Doherty there arent exactly a plethora of lads coming through in that position, so there's that - trouble is we probably need midfielders even more critically.

Warne seems to prefer athleticism and speed from his wing backs. Norton-Cruffy has played that position this season. A really good prospect on loan from Arsenal. And he used Ogbene in that role last season. Rathbone, a CM, has played LWB at times. So maybe he will. Ebosele would have been perfect for Warne.

Paul Warne has been playing 3-5-2 with Rotherham for awhile now and wouldn't be shocked if Knight ends up as a RWB under him. Did it with Ogbene for most of last season and didn't move him into the attacking positions until after we played Belgium. |

Not really. He started 31 of the 39 Championship games he was available for last season. He missed the first 5 games of the season due to an injury at the hands of his own manager. lol. He missed two other games and the Azerbaijan game through illness and a knock. Knight's versatility works against him in some ways. Not having a set position can affect a player's development. O'Shea looked great at LB for United during 2002/2003. But ended up becoming a utility player instead of focusing on a set position. Still a good player, but could have been more. Knight is a good player. If he's going to be playing League One football, he should be trying to get into double digits for goals & assists if he ends up playing in midfield under the new manager. |

Agreed, thought he did a lot of hard running off the ball, which was important tbf, but did very little on it. He'll have better days.

Just watched the match again today and he does a lot of running but little else, some of this passing was very poor too. Not his greatest game. |
