i'd have Wheater over Knight
you look at Wheater you know what you're going to get - a cumbersome CB who will at least tackle when the player is in front of him
you look at Knight you think you're getting someone who at least will be good in the air.....

Knight/Wheater have done ok when not overexposed,far better than expected.There's not much between them really( I like the fact wheater attacks the ball but he had a bad one against wigan) Really though we could do with a little pace in the middle which Ream was supposed to provide

To quote an earlier quoter: In a 4 horse relegation race I'd like to see us shoot one of the horses.
Unfortunately we did, we shot Bolton.
The entire team was pathetic, and it had nothing to do with the formation, the players on the pitch were just not up to the job. They were limper than a limp dick with erectile problems.
I’d give them all 1 out of 10, except I’d reserve 0 out of 10 for Wheater and N’gog, give Mavis 3 out of 10 for the goal alone (now that is how to strike a ball) and 2 out of 10 for Klasnic and Miyaichi for positional play.

You do, the problem is you never quite know how long you're going to get it for, before he gets sent off.

He rugby tackled one Wigan player at weekend and conceded a free kick. No harm done on that occasion. But yes he can tackle, quite often at the expense of a free kick or red card.

Wheater's letting the dancing go to his head. Every corner, free kick or ball into the box, he grabs a partner from the opposition in a bear hug. Only matter of time before he wins a spot prize.

I struggle to differentiate between the two to be honest.
