Does Knockaert have a bit of a disruptive reputation ? I can't recall him being troublesome...I know he waves his arms a lot on the pitch, moaning about passes not coming his way, or not good enough passes.. Maybe Warnock prefers to be the one barking orders rather than this little frenchman.. Seems a waste to me but we're managing without him at the moment, more players out with injuries (Holmes) doesn't help our situation..maybe Diarra will indeed rise to the occasion...Meanwhile , good to see Pearson looking more assured and knocking in a couple, about time we we sniffed a few of these chances and he was in the right position twice. Maybe we'll pair up Simpson with Ward or Rhodes sometime earlier in the game because he can at least hold up the ball and win a few in the air..neither Rhodes or Ward win many battles with CB's.

If AK has a troublesome reputation that was obviously missed by our recruitment team when performing due diligence!

It’s a shame it’s not worked out as on his debut and in other short glimpses Knockaert looked absolute quality.
It’s looking unlikely but hopefully he can still play a part in the run in, as he undoubtedly has the class and vision to make a difference to our attacking play

Now that the dusts settled and we are safe, have we any idea what the fuck went on with him?
The brief cameos we saw showed he was very capable despite being not quite 100% but then nowhere to be seen, not a fan of Warnock or the other way round?

Agree, if it had been some totally past it old knacker it wouldn't be so bad but he looked like he could make a difference on the rare occasions he came on. I guess we all just move on.

My take is Warnock put the team before individuals.

At a guess I'd say Warnock didn't think he was up to the job requirements for whatever reason. Maybe personal issues not lack of ability or work ethic.

Think NW mentioned 'fitness issues' and unlikely to be considered as other lads were doing so well anyway...which of course they were..

Same as how Etienne Camara was never seen from after Fotheringham. If Warnock doesn’t rate them, perhaps they’re stealing a wage..

So, what actually went on with this guy? Injured, Warnock not "fancying" him?? Strange.

He looked knackered when he arrived, remember the bike test when he first got here?, and if he wasn't prepared to put a lot of effort in to get properly fit, which I get the feeling he may not have been given how he has done overall the last 2 seasons, then he was never going to get in a Warnock team. A very hopeful punt I think.

He put the effort in when he was on the pitch pre-Warnock, but had a poor game when Warnock brought him on as a sub v Birmingham.
If he was fully fit he could still be an asset to somebody, but I doubt it'll be us.

Its ok, Town are signing me not to play next season, Im cheaper and I will be able to not cover across the back 4 and the left side of midfield. I am also useful not to be dangerous at set pieces etc. I dont even want the training kit to not train in.😉
My agent(her indoors) has said she will take a cut of my wages thereby not costing the club any extra and she is confident I can be superb at being paid to do nothing, as I am already looking pretty professional at it at home.👍

The only game I remember him playing was when he was awful against Birmingham. What a pointless signing he turned out to be.

What a pointless signing he turned out to be. 17 posts (two of which are from you!) about the guy since the season finished equates to an obsession? It's an interesting (to some people) discussion point at a time when there's not a lot else going on. If you're not interested you're free to scroll past. Anyway, I'm going to go to the cricket discussion in Off Topic to tell people there that I don't care about cricket.

My own suspicion is that he is a bit of a maverick and warnock wanted players who he could trust to follow a gameplan as a team wirh and without the ball and either knockheart didn't follow instructions when he did play, or wasn't fit enough to do it for long enough

This signing had a very strange ring to me, from the start to the finish it just wasn't right. He arrived injured, we then quickly changed manager- played a game then was never seen again. Bit like the lowton signing , just never really impacted the squad in anyway. Then the final pictures in the dressing room against Sheff u and Qpr neither to be seen. I get a feeling they were told to stay away after a few week of NW arriving.
