For me his work rate isn't the issue, and neither is his tracking back etc. He works hard enough, but just doesn't posses the necessary skill set, for example, a decent finisher would of gone home with the match ball from the Millwall game last Saturday.Our fans really are wild at times. I heard 1 guy behind me slag him off for “not wanting it enough” when the ball was with Milan at RB and he was up on the left …
people need to give their head a wobble. One of his better games by far work rate was up there for most of the game.

We are needing to create far too many chances for the Strikers we have to score.
And I (obviously) include Godden and Simms when I say we are poor upfront despite the massive investment.
For fucks sake, don't bring up unconscious bias again.Funnily enough, my mate who is a neutral thought he was our biggest threat, played well and deserved his goal.
Amazing how things can be perceived when there’s not unconscious bias.
Our fans need a boo boy and often it's not even a bad player. You could probably count the people in the stadium if you started banning the stupid.

The same fans who said they'd have Biamou backStriker scoring more than a goal every other game. City fans say he’s the worst they’ve ever seen and want him gone.

To be fair that’s what you were saying about Godden
“Wright refuses to track back.”
Or alternatively that is now a quirk in our system, and why we’re playing a flat 3 in the middle. Gives the cover to allow him to stay high.
He looks average/okay on the left wing, still poor for £8M and has been supported by the reintroduction of Bidwell to make us more defensively solid whilst Wright refuses to track back. He’s hitting a bit of form which we badly needed but let’s not pretend he wasn’t stinking the place out before.
A quirk! Already covered this. Wright has been consistently lazy this season, Bidwell has been brought back into offer some defensive security down that wing and the shift to 4 in a back has helped.
A quirk is a false centre back, not changing our formation as our big summer signing is lazy and has no movement off the ball.

Most sing it after he puts the ball into row Z never mind scoresIt’s very clear that certain people in the stands and on this forum have got fixed opinions on him as a player i.e. they just don’t like him for whatever reason. He has big shoes to fill and high expectations to fulfil which has made fans more tetchy.
The last few home matches I’ve been to have all been with neutrals who don’t have strong opinions have also picked up on it.
Perhaps it’s just the people who sit around me, I’ve got people around who slag off most things he does then sings the song when he scores which made me a laugh a bit.
These definitely don’t… I do see your point!Most sing it after he puts the ball into row Z never mind scores
How on gods green earth can you watch the last two games and claim he’s got no movement off the ball?
The formation and reintroduction of Bidwell has helped Wright, but am I going to start gushing praise on Wright after the finishing away at Millwall? We all need Wright to come good but he should be doing far more than he currently is.
Just havnt seen it come to fruition.There's been something there all the time.
You say finishing but he’s scoring a goal every other game. Vik missed some absolute sitters, Haaland is top of the chances missed table in the PL, good strikers miss more than bad strikers cos bad strikers don’t get the chance to miss.
Data is great when you remove the context; have you seen how many big chances European Champions Man City make per game? Now compare that to Championship Coventry City where we don’t make 15 chances a game and still miss Hamer. We can’t afford a striker that needs 5 chances to score one goal.
Agreed at least he’s starting to get in the right positions.

It's the first time Wrights had a proper run of games having now started 5 in a row. He's scored 3 in this last 5.

As did the MIllwall comms on SaturdayFunnily enough, my mate who is a neutral thought he was our biggest threat, played well and deserved his goal.
Amazing how things can be perceived when there’s not unconscious bias.
A bellend next to me screamed "You're offside Wright" as Collins was taking a goal kickA bellend behind us screamed “Wright get onside you twat” twice during build up play first half when Saka was dribbling down the wing. He was literally taking up his position and the ball wasn’t about to be played forwards.
He was fine tonight and did a lot more good than bad. And the “bad” was pretty much par for the course for any striker at this level.
We seem to be at the point where unless he scores every chance he gets he’s going to get dogs abuse from some. It’s actually getting quite uncomfortable and reminds me of Stern John days.
Question… is he left or right footed?
genuinely not sure.
Cos he’s happy to shoot/pass with both.
Wright will prove himself to be a more than decent striker at this level however I still believe our best striker is only being given 20 min cameos.
