He’s a truly odd player - clearly looks a handful, gets in good positions and frightens defenders with his pace and movement. But the finishing has been very poor so far. Let’s not even start on his link-up play. He’s a valuable player for us, but certainly not £7.5 million worth of value at the moment.
Really pleased to hear (and see) Wright's performance today. Did he score ? No. Did he influence how the Millwall defence played. I think yes. Was he available for those through balls from Eccles and Allen a la Gyokeres last season ? Hell, yes and it seemed to be an intentional tactic rather than hopeful balls forward. He may not be our goalscoring answer but he creates opportunities for others that should see us getting more positive results.
If Millwall think highly of Wright and are willing to give us at least half of what we paid for him in the January window, I’ll snap their hands off for it. I really can’t see him ever becoming good for us. I can even see Simms turning a corner sometime in the next decade.I watched the second half. By the end the Millwall commentary team had him down as man of the match .
He looks incredibly lazy to me. If he gives the ball away he rarely busts a gut to try and get it back and his first touch is poor.
They clearly saw something good about him and it must have been in the first half.
The guys an utter mess. His xg alone shoukd be 1.5
Is that you, Nick?Really want to see him get angry on the pitch and try and punch the bloke marking him.
He had several clear cut chances today. Had he put them in we would all be singing his praises. Give him time. He will come good. He has just moved from Turkey and had his wife had baby recently. He has a lot going on in his life. He clearly is talented.
Simms is gonna be great too.
Do they make the goals smaller or the keepers bigger then if your wife’s just had a baby?
If you've taken a flight from Turkey this year, does this effect your ability to pass the ball 5 yards to a team mate?
I think he's got the hardest bit of scoring goals ok, he gets into position through his movement, it'll happen for him. It's not as if he misses the target, two shots saved today and two goals in the aftermath.It’s really fine margins. Saka finishes through the keeper’s legs, Wright’s 3rd chance almost did the same but hits the keepers heel. Found himself clean through 3 times though and hit the target each time.
Hasn’t been worth the price paid yet but if Robins was looking for a development project then he has plenty of raw potential to polish.
Be careful, you’ll be accused of being racist with comments like that!Wright was dreadful. He can't do a 5 meter pass properly and control the ball. Let alone move off the ball.
I was at the game.

Have had a baby ever?Do they make the goals smaller or the keepers bigger then if your wife’s just had a baby?

Thanks for the tip but I'm certainly not that.Be careful, you’ll be accused of being racist with comments like that!
Proper sentences please, I don’t understand NeanderthalHave had a baby ever?
I don’t doubt it, but If you criticise a player who doesn’t have white skin, you’ll be made to feel like one by muppets on hereThanks for the tip but I'm certainly not that.
How has this clown stayed on the pitch. Its like playing with 10 men
Your comments are becoming more and more absurd
Just watching the highlights back, very unlucky with all his chances really.
Really unfortunate he decided to hit all three straight at the keeper. Maybe at some point, he might have the mental capacity to try and put one either side of himJust watching the highlights back, very unlucky with all his chances really.

Yes I didn’t see it live - the way people were saying it the godden goal was a two yard miss. It was a good save and the one through the keepers legs could have gone in
It's sadYour comments are becoming more and more absurd
He's lazy. He can't win anything in the air. His first touch is dreadful. He's fast but has no goalscoring instinct whatsoever.Wright had a very good game. He could have easily had a goal or two but that will come. Millwall simply couldn’t cope with him and hence a good win. If you’re knocking Wright today you just don’t understand the game.
His link-up play is absolutely awful.The bit in the second half where he had a chance to break and his first touch somehow booted it 20 yards out of touch was quite something though.
