McGhee blames Knight and Benjamin

[Falmer Dream]

In today's Argus, McGhee pins a lot of the blame for the last 3 results on Knight and Benjamin.

They haven't been great, to say the least, but by far our biggest problem is a midfield with about as much creativity and life as a slug in a salt cellar. If McGhee can't see that, then we really are in big trouble

I would agree with McGhee. Knight and Benjamin haven't been dealing with balls that have been played to them and haven't been getting into good positions.

I watched the highlights of the Sheff Wed game earlier this morning and the running that Knight was doing then shows a marked difference to what he is doing now.

Benjamin is stumbling all over the place (you thought Rougier was clumsy)

Jakey showed them both up on Saturday.

The ball hasnt been sticking much to the front two from the games I saw at Wycombe and Luton, and Im far from convinced Benji is the answer for us, (although 3 goals since hes been here is a decent showing)

But the problem is perfectly clear, its the MIDFIELD where the problem lies, f*** all creativity and not much skill either, add in fullbacks who do nothing and there isnt much to be excited about at the moment.

and yet we sign him up for another month?

What can they do with no decent service? the problem IS THE MIDFIELD!

Jakey showed them both up on Saturday.

Interesting yo say that - in today's Times he is higlighted as their player who had a "Stinker". I wasn't there so I don't know but, in judging his performance, perhaps we made a few more allowances for his inexperience than we would with other players.

 

[Yorkie]

They did get service but did nothing with it.

Jakey did a beautiful cross in and Chippy was providing service on Sat but neither of them did anything with it.

That's what I meant about not getting into good positions. I know Knight is marked so closely that he practically looks as though he has a Siamese twin but he doesn't run now like he used to to try and shake off his marker.

That is outrageous and however wrote that should be thoroughly ashamed

 

[Yorkie]

I would have given him 8 DO

Like you say, a local reporter I expect who was swayed by the fact he was taken off early.

Must admit I thought Knight was at his best when Henderson was with us ... they seemed to click

 

[tedebear]

not sure I appreciate our manager "naming and shaming" in the local press - is it just me - or does anyone else find this a little off?

henderson was a good player better than benji but people seemed to have something against him just like roberts

Henderson did get lasy.....Played very well at start though
