Very emotional interview with Knockaert

[Gazwag]

I guess we will have another minutes silence tonight which is probably the last thing he needs before the game.

For Chapecoense, you mean? Yes, I guess we will.

He sounded a million miles from being mentally ready in that interview poor chap. Pretty much his first touch at Cardiff was a massively skied shot from an impossible position. I thought immediately that he was trying too hard. He settled down very quickly and turned us from a side that looked like we'd draw into a side that looked like we'd win.

It's a very tricky management situation for CH - how to best manage your most creative player by far, when he's still quite clearly mentally fragile and probably tempted to make decisions on the pitch that he wouldn't normally make due to desperately wanting to win for his Dad.

I hope Knocky finds some peace from his clear torment about his Dad's passing. He's a class individual, and we're lucky to have him.

Make sure he starts against Leeds please.

Don't think so. The Chapecoence one was all last weekend, and I see no point in them repeating the same minute silence tonight for it. Tragedy yes, but not worth another minutes silence

 

[GooGull]

That was very emotional, a very brave man to do that interview.

I think he just might have some real feeling for the club and hopefully we will be able to help him make his dreams come true,

Wonderful man, thank you for choosing the Albion

 

[Bean]

Poor lad. I really feel for him.

 

[Marshy]

Xmas is also a horrible time of year to be missing loved ones.
