Agree. Derby has been a basket case the last couple of years. He’s been playing all over the shop. This is a step back up to Championship with hopefully a chance to nail down a regular starting place in his preferred position

Negativity around Knights move to Bristol is bizarre. Replacing Scott is what I see and it’s as good as move as can be expected. Bristol are signing Knight with a view to selling him on for a profit down the line. Not to send him backwards.

You say that like we have 10/12 players playing in La Liga,Serie A, Ligue 1 Bundesliga as well as the few in the “Prem”. As long as our players are content to piss about down the EFL lower Leagues if they can’t get a PL move that will be the case not cause they are bad players cause the barrier to entry into the PL is so high. Expecting an ignorant Englander to reply to this telling me football doesn’t exist outside of England and I’m wrong.

I'm sure Knight will have a relegation clause built into his contract, so it probably would be a big deal if they get relegated. It's a good move because it means he won't be playing L1. He absolutely could not risk having another season like the one he's just had. - L1 isn't a good enough standard for what we need. - No guarantee Derby get promoted. - His stock could've dropped to the point he gets stuck in L1 for several years. - He's about to have a lot more competition in midfield for Ireland, we could have a lot of uncapped players in the Championship with possibly all of Moran, Hodge, Phillips, Coventry, Azaz, Connell, Kilkenny making moves. That's in addition to Szmodics, Vaughan & Taylor who already are there. And Noss & Johansson will have to get moving. Could see Jack Henry-Francis get a loan too.

They're all lucky Kenny is the manager. Would be lucky to have half of that.

56 senior caps between Knight, Idah and Parrott and it’s a bit worrying that none appear to have found a level of consistency beyond mid table championship players

I can see the move working out quite well. Will likely be Alex Scott’s replacement. Hard working style should suit while the attacking midfield role will likely bring the best out in developing his technical/output qualities. Bristol will have their eyes on moving him on for a profit.
As for going down I don’t really see that at all. Think they will likely range from 13-20th again. |

Three seasons ago they finished 26 points from the playoffs, two ago the finished 20 off playoffs and last season they finished 10 points from the playoffs. So a gradually improving side, under a manager who does know the division and how to get out of it as he did with Leicester & has a good pedigree in signing players. What has happened there this summer departures wise or finances wise to make you say what you said ? What has changed ? They aren't wealthy, they aren't a buzz transfer no. But what are you basing there is a real chance they go down on ? When the above is what has actually been happening. Edited by Scissors Kick - 09 Jul 2023 at 9:20pm |

They finished above Stoke and Birmingham last season. They have some good young players including Mark Sykes and Max O’Leary and a good manager in Pearson. They don’t seem to have much of a transfer budget like a lot of other Championship teams but that could change if they get big money for Alex Scott.

If he does well for Bristol then he gets a move elsewhere anyway. It doesn't seem like anyone higher up on the ladder is coming in for him and this is at least one step up

And if they go down then he is right back there again. And there is a real chance they do. They arent a team that will be looking at a promotion any time soon. They arent building anything. It's an improvement right now but long term it doesnt speak to great prospects for him.

They've made a couple of good signings already this summer. Pearson is a good manager, knows how to get a team performing better than the sum of its parts.
