Craig Dawson

Showed more goal threat in ten first half minutes (and six inches shorter) than ZK shown in three seasons.

 

Centre halfs (traditionally) are/should be a "threat" at set pieces (see Cahill/Wheater).

 

 

Anyway. He's got my vote.

 

 

What about a Ream/Dawson combo?

im not hung up on it.

 

he reminds me of ben haim

 

total no athlete but still very good

 

Ben Haim was no marathon runner but did you see his physique? Ripped to fuck and strong as an ox so in my eyes a good strong athlete and competitor.

Knight the England international with at least 300 plus prem appearances needs advice guidance and leadership from the league one ex Rochdale west brom reserve aged 23 ish - that ladies and gents is all u need to know about zat knight it's scandalous regardless of his decent performances of late and historically natural born loser/quitter

FFS. Did the 300 prem appearances part not maybe think your talking extreme shite. How come ream has been dropped and not knight? How come Ricketts isn't playing centre back with Dawson?

Knights an average centre half without a winning mentality or any leadership skills what's that got to do with ream or ricketts he massively pisses me off the sooner he gets out our club the better IMO cant stand the bloke we're Bolton we can largely only attract average players means there attitude and application has to be 100% his is shite

Yeh he will always be shit - Dawson/Wheater pairing our best bet I reckon

 

I don't get the Wheater love. Always looks like a penalty/red card waiting to happen, for me.

Hello sailor x2

 

Ben Haim was great. Read the game superbly and I think Dawson is quicker.

 

Surely every goal is putting another £100k on the price though.

Am I only person in the whole wide world that doesn't think Zat Knight is actually that bad??

 

I just think he needs a fella like Dawson next to him.

He's ok sometimes his application is shite that's my beef there's no excuses - why does he need Dawson gonzo to coax him thru a game or because his playing style compliments him sadly it's the former because he's had plenty partners in what's been the worst defensive 2-3 years in the last what 15 / 20 seasons? It's not all him but he is a fairly common denominator in it

Knight's problems arise from the fact he is lazy and lacks concentration. Nothing to do with ability.

 

If he played league 2 he would still makes the same type of mistakes he does now. Always a mistake in him. For the wage he is on , we can do better.

Zat knight, so shit DF made him captain

For 95% of the time Knight is a bloody good centre half especially at Championship level.

 

His problem is he's prone to 1 or 2 major brain-farts a game and they quite often prove costly.

 

Not sure if wheater pushes him out when fit, as like Homo said Dougie made ZK captain.

Knight is the one who never gets dropped. It's always his partner. I'll trust the management on this one.

For the wage he is on , we can do better.

 

How much is he on?

Zat knight, so shit DF made him captain

 

Yes because coyle left him with so many natural leaders he had plenty to choose from?

 

Maybe I'm being irrational but for be he represents a lot that's been wrong over the last 3 years maybe I do to

hes the best option we have alongside dawson at the moment, so its tough shit if people think hes not good enough. nothing anyone can do until the summer.

Freedman has said that Knight and Bogdans confidence soars when playing alongside Dawson which is the key to the defence... confidence is key

Is that the secret?

Is that the secret?

 

No, it's the key

 

 

No, it's the key

No, it's the Urban Cookie Collective

I'm pretty confident that if we could perform a kind of bodyswap on Knight and Dawson in the style of the Tom Hanks classic Big, and then watch a game unaware of this fact, 90% of people would still say Dawson had a better game than Knight.

I agree with that

So people can't say that Dawson is miles better than knight and just mean it without being negative. I certainly don't blame him for all before but you'd be hard pressed to say knights had a good season.

What I'm saying is, once people decide they don't like a player, they focus on any little error that player makes, exaggerate it and ignore anything else that they do that's decent. Same goes in reverse.

 

Nowt wrong with the way this partnership is doing at the moment. Can't understand the clamour to crowbar Wheater when it's not broken. Also, let's not alienatate another one of our main defenders when Dawson looks unlikely to be here next season, especially if the rumblings out of the Hawthorns are to be believed.

Fair point but I for one would credit knight if it were merited, he looks better with Dawson, but for his experience he should be leading Dawson not t'other round. Bit I agree they look okay so far.
