Wembley - Knight or Wheater?

[CAPSLOCK]

That'd be the one where Ashley Young was running full pace, unchallenged, up against an exposed Wheater?

Zat Knight is the sort of bloke I wouldn't want with me in the trenches - soft as shit..I'd put him in the same drawer as Samuel

Last season at Stoke, I was on one of the front rows and watching his attempts to avoid getting hurt when we were defending high balls was embarrassing

The fact Wheater is better on the ball, too, makes it an easy call for me

[LiOC]

Regardless of Knight's good performance, I'm still going for Wheater. Height wise there isn't much in it, and Wheater is considerably better in the air, which is very important against Stoke. I also feel that everytime Knight gets the ball that it's either going straight to the opposition's attackers or up on the roof and thing if we are going to win, we need to outplay Stoke.

[officer_dibble]

Wheater is harder, he's the man for Stoke. Reckon Coyle knows it as well (though odd he didn't make the bench yesterday).

He's better as well...not by much but he is.

Running at full pace? No. Unchallenged? Obviously, Wheater is there to make the challenge. Exposed? Yes.

He had a fair few options and, much like Zat against Stoke, he chose the suicidal one.

Like I said, toss a coin for all I care.

[tell ben im him]

Hope it's not knight for me, more prone to mistakes no better in the air, although taller not as good on the floor, switches off at times, seems to have concentration problems had a good game Saturday and a smashing lad to talk to, but feel jones will knock him allover place if he plays Sunday so it's wheater for me.

Robinson was 30 yards behind Young

Young had all the cards

Wheater didn't have a a chance against one of the better players in the League

[keveh]

Well the poll is pretty close, still not sure as to who I would play though.

I went with Knight initially but my mind changes every day.

[Lofthouse Lower]

Doesn't matter - they're much of a muchness - I don't trust either

[boltonboris]

I can't believe it's close... Wheater all day, every day.

Because Knight is shit, everyone get's excited when he has 1 good game after 3 shit ones.. Let's not forget how he got injured in the first place. Bullied, out-thought and out-stripped by the most average of average cloggers.

The bloke hardly ever has his back to Jussi.. He's always sprinting towards his own goal, which is feckin' poor

Spot on the only thing that surprises me is that some people think he is quite good.

whether it was his fault or not i carnt remember but the dude injured himself for the team. he couldve just strugged his shoulders. or got shot by the germans.

that said dude that replaced him did well. he's been rested and will get the first xi place on sunday.

He got caught in two minds wether to commit or not, got absolutely skinned by the Nigerian lad. Luckily the Nigerian lad had a short touch when he was looking to shoot, which gave Knight the opportunity to get in a(nother) last ditch tackle of his own doing

[thebish]

I suspect people are often fooled into thinking Knight is superior because he pulls off quite a few last-ditch tackles with those looooooong legs that look exciting...

however - it'd be a better recommendation if he didn't get himself in the position where those tackles HAVE to be last-ditch in the first place.

I'm not convinced that EITHER knight or wheater is MILES ahead of the other - but, for my money, wheater possibly shades it at the moment. FWIW I don't think the wheater/knight conundrum will be the make or break choice....

[Lord Kangana]

I quite like the sound of a shoulder strug.

the make or break choice is whether to moan like feck at the referee every time they get a throw in. tapping their watches.

the answers yes.

[malcd1]

The two Bolton centre halves are going to be bombarded by throw-ins and crosses at every opportunity. We need the player who is best at heading so Wheater would be my choice.

I've disabled auto-translate.

Can anyone help?

[Lofthouse Lower]

Let's just play Wheater, Knight and Cahill then

Clearly you have forgotten, but it's 50 seconds into this video.

Bullied and out-thought? What exactly would Wheater have done better? Utilised his awesome pace?
