Jason Knight was on the bench for the Derby team tonight against Leeds. He took his place alongside English internationals Ashley Cole, Scott Carson and Tom Huddlestone. Great news and great reflection on the lad for such an important game under such a good midfielder of a manager.

You have to wonder though would promotion for Deby be a good thing for him as they would buy 5 or 6 players and he would drop down the pecking order but then again if he's good enough...

On the bench again today for the play off final.
That would be one hell of a game to make your debut in!

Brilliant. Great news. Only 18 and a half and is clearly highly rated by two iconic central midfield players of the last 10 years- Cocu and Lampard. He's in a great environment there. Playing at the base with an experienced Tom Huddlestone. Any reports on the match so far?

Started CM alongside Keogh which is a bit odd
From The Athletic (https://theathletic.com/1159698/2019/08/26/whats-not-to-like-about-him-cocu-enthuses-over-knights-first-league-start/)
Phillip Cocu’s eyes light up when he’s quizzed about Jason Knight’s first league start for Derby County. “What’s not to like about him? He’s just an 18-year-old boy breathing football.”
His manager’s enthusiasm matched the dynamism the player showed for 90 minutes against West Bromwich Albion. A promising first league start teamed with his manager’s enthusiasm has potentially set the wheels in motion for another Rams academy graduate to make waves with the senior squad.
Knight found out he was starting 90 minutes before kick-off, not from Cocu but instead when he scanned the team sheet on the wall. His parents had no idea he was playing, having only just returned from a holiday, and the teenager didn’t text them to let them know, choosing to focus on preparing himself for the match instead.

Who wrote this? Behind a paywall for me.
David Sneyd was on OTB AM and said many things similar to what has been reported above. The praise from Cocu was the most heartening.
They played an interview with Knight also. Didn't realise his brother was in Leicester's academy and is with Cabinteely now.

Cocu might come under pressure fast enough if they don't get some bit of consistency going.

Journo is a guy called Ryan Conway. I signed up for the month's trial of the Athletic. Special offer of 2.50 a month thereafter to keep it. Not sure if I will or not yet.

Starts tonight vs Sheff Wed. Big chance for him. Cocu under pressure with derby currently 16th in championship. Would be nice if they improve with Knight starting regularly

Booked and substituted before Derby equalised with a late penalty, won by his replacement Jack Marriott.
The Derby Telegraph described his performance as 'tenacious and got about the pitch', and nobody actually rated higher than his 6 - https://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/derby-player-ratings-sheffield-wednesday-3634248

Subject of high praise indeed from the great Wayne Rooney.

Hopefully Charlie D has noted Cocu’s quote:
“His running stats are unbelievable. What he covers in a game you rarely see, especially at this age. A typical box-to-box player. You can play him on the left wing, on the right wing. As a defensive midfielder, he does the job. He's reliable.“
May have taken the place of Conor Coventrys in the under 21s now.

Nice video of him posted today showing an overview of his career to date with some interviews.
Let’s just hope he continues to start and plays well in the coming months
Cocu obviously a big fan but you would be concerned how long he will last in that job on current form, any change of manager could knock Knight right back.

Scored Derby’s opener, for first senior goal. Bundled the goal over line going in bravely with head apparently. Derby down to 10 men so under pressure to hold on, 30 minutes gone

Break out game for Jason. Has scored his second, 2-1 up into injury time. Fantastic

Brilliant performance by Knight, apart from almost bagging a hat-trick, was really good on the ball, kept it well and used it smartly.He’s quick and brave and has an incredible engine by the looks of him, ran all night. Wow!

Looked pretty shocking to me!!
Look where he is at 2:07
It is like he is wearing a cloak of invisibility!!
Still give him credit for finding that space in the first place.

He’s starting tonight against Barnsley lads, we’ll worth a look if you’ve Sky Sports, very good little player, both on and off the ball,McCarthy should really be keeping a close eye on him by now.

His two goals against Charlton on Monday, aged 18 years and 320 days made him the youngest Ireland player to score a brace in English league football since former U19 forward Harry Crawford scored twice for Southend in League Two in March 2011 aged 18 years and 142 days

Watched his game today. He doesn’t look the biggest but he looks strong physically. Shoulder barged a larger Barnsley player who needed legitimate treatment near the corner flag.
He’s also quick, good technically and works hard — makes good little passes and doesn’t seem to give the ball away.
Definitely one to watch.

Another goal to equalize . Appears to have been a good one, long range tight angle bottom corner. Good stuff.
Edit: actually appears to have been the proverbial “cross come shot “

New long term contract until 2023. Well deserved https://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2020/0122/1110105-knight-signs-long-term-contract-with-derby-county/

Watched Knight today vs Fulham. Wasn’t great, seems a bit lost out wide right. Clearly centre is his better position as we already knew. Just a shame Max Bird appears to have superseded him in that role for now. Have seen Knight play a few times now, never been overly impressed. But he is honest with a great attitude. At least 12 months away from commanding a senior call up. Let’s see how he does with the 21s as Molumby makes space for him in the middle

Thought he did OK with what little possession he had and worked hard, with his pressing and half-block leading to the Derby penalty. Has had better games but, as you said, probably still a little while before he's a central figure.

Not watching the game, but looks like Knight is playing centrally today and is doing very well. A goal as well. Hopefully can maintain his place in the centre

Sounds like he had a good day yesterday alright, from some of the comments linked below. Agree that a partnership of him and Molumby looks like a great combination - high intensity all-rounders that have served Liverpool so well this season and reminiscent of us at our high pressing best in our heyday. Drop in Coventry or Ronan (who was also meant to have been one of their better player before being subbed) in a three and we have the potential midfield foundation for the next ten years, in a season that has been a revelation in terms of progression all over the park.

Aside from the under 21s, there's also Jack Byrne, Alan Browne and Josh Cullen who could also really progress a lot within the next 2 years and all would fit into that midfield 3 well.
And James McCarthy, if only he could get an injury free run then he would be perfect in a 3 for us.

Has just scored his 5th of season. 1-1 vs Brentford. Nice touch and finish, keeper got a hand to it but couldn’t keep it out. Playing wide right. Typical enthusiastic and bustling performance thus far, but needs to be in central position as he’s not a winger. Brentford pretty impressive

Scores again tonight against Cardiff in a one-all draw.Derby slipping away a bit from the playoff spots. I really think this kid is one to watch,I’d much prefer for him to get a shot in the senior squad than the likes of Arter.

They lost 2-1 and are all but out of playoff contention. Cocu rueing too many individual mistakes (Knight and Rooney on this occasion).
