You’re right, if Joao has bags of natural ability, he’s a very unique player but lacks the application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got enough talent to have a very good football career but let down by a lack of application. Didn't his and a few other youngsters careers' go downhill once we signed Steve Harkness? Paul Jewell sort of regretted signing him from memory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jack the Hat Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Leon Knight was a great league one player but not good enough for the championship. We had loads of them deon burton to name one. Knight had more tricks than burton but wasn’t really a talent wasted more he thought he was better than he was, which is different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a decent signing for us at the time Many things you can say about Knight but I wouldn’t say he lacked the talent, the kid knew how to score goals definitely at league one level and with his head screwed on he would’ve been capable in the championship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks that way and what do you mean fake outrage? Insult Leon Knight but not me and others at the same time. I'm from a council estate, but I know what he means, no need to (put it very well), doesn't imply we're all the same, unless you've got a chip on shoulders thing.

He was ok in the championship. But I’m old fashioned . Good strikers score goals. The ones who can’t always do that hold the ball up instead. Bang average.

Best being the season we finished 9th. I’d echo the original point though, outside Hooper and Fletcher he’s one of the most intelligent strikers we’ve had since the Premier League days.
