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
Game over. Hats off Jason Knight. This is huge.
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!
Only 18.

Wash your mouth! They gave him no space at all and the defending was world class.Originally Posted by tricky_colour
Twice nightly Knighty?
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...-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
