I want to see Knibbs get more game time. His goals/minutes ratio must be best at the club. We’re hardly blessed with goals

He's popped up with a couple of goals but aside from that, in general play he's looked poor.

The only midfielder prepared to hold onto the ball and then look for the  pass seems to be JRC, wonder if he has ever played as a 10,might suit him as he’s not the quickest.then have Coventry, knibbs or Carey. 

Moving Costello forward means he will get the ball less. Much better he stays where he is and gets on the ball more, our 10 needs more energy to press from the front which is why we have Carey and Knibbs 

Don’t think he would get less ball, it was suggested our 10’s only run around and don’t create, it depends what is wanted from the 10, bearing in mind Coventry is deeper, you would then have some energy between the two positions, hence Carey/knibss

The number 10 position sees much less of the ball than the central midfielders. If Costello is playing then you want him getting the ball as much as possible. He can feed the ball into the 10 and strikers, if you put him in the 10 we don’t have anyone else to do that so he wouldn’t get the ball nearly enough 

What Jones wants from his 10 is pressing and arriving in the box for goals. That’s why Carey, Knibbs and Berry are the players we’ve brought in to play there. Our 10 often leads the press and I can’t see Costello being that player 

We’re never going to have a creative player in the number 10 role. It’s just not how we play

Our midfield don’t see the ball because it’s  always bypassed

But any team with the ambition to avoid relegation needs to have options in their set-up. We need to have a tactical alternative by having a skilful no. 10.

I'm sure a playoff chasing League 1 side would love to sign Harvey Knibbs in January but why would we give up on him after half a season? 

to make room / resources available for a starter in a critical position we're struggling in? 

we’re only struggling there because Carey’s form has dropped off. You can’t replace a player just for going through a rough patch, you have to help them out of it

Knibbs is a luxury in the squad, when we already have Carey, Berry and Fullah who can play in that position. IF we could get a good fee, and use the money elsewhere, where we are desperately thin in numbers or quality, I wouldn't be against it. 

I'm not sure it would make sense to loan him out though, as the wage savings wouldn't go far. 

I'd take Knibbs over Berry every day of the week. Knibbs is our second top scorer despite barely playing, and yet somehow NJ gives Berry three starts in a row - an opportunity Knibbs has never enjoyed. 

Wouldn’t surprise me if Knibbs puts in for a transfer request. Second top scorer and hardly starting games. Would be a mistake to let him go.

I'd be very surprised if hes going to put in a transfer request that soon. I'm sure he's aggravated to not be playing but he's been around the game long enough to know that's sometimes how it goes, and giving up/sulking that quickly and easily doesn't sound like the sort of player Jones would have had much truck with and surely wouldn't have made such an effort to sign.

That was my point, but explained better👍
