24 48 hut hutYes, he could close down a little bit better and be a bit more energetic, but does not matter if Clark fucking Kent is upfront if you are getting no service. Hopefully during the break, he can get straightened out by the coaching staff and the team as a whole will get more fluid with things.
Clark Kent’s never played football in his life so you’re right it would be useless playing himYes, he could close down a little bit better and be a bit more energetic, but does not matter if Clark fucking Kent is upfront if you are getting no service.

Well again it comes back to going from Hamer who could see and execute those kinds of passes to players who can’t.The more I see of Wright the more I think good striker but totally the wrong striker for the system we are playing. Would have been perfect last season.
Wright is good at timing his runs right through to shooting. But if our opponents have the ball he trots around in a circle waiting for that ball to run onto. But because of the way we now play there's rarely space up front past the defence. Once we get the ball it quickly becomes about 20 players in their half and no space.
Maybe at the harder away games at least or for last 20 minutes or so hopefully when in lead. Drop back like we know we can and get him some space. We normally end up sitting back in these situations anyway.
Ayari will give him a few gamesWell again it comes back to going from Hamer who could see and execute those kinds of passes to players who can’t.
But Hamer players cost Hamer money. And Hamer players want to play higher than the Championship.Well again it comes back to going from Hamer who could see and execute those kinds of passes to players who can’t.
Ayari played a lovely through ball in the 2nd half that either Simms or Wright could have gone for. Simms tried to get to it but wasn't quick enough, Wright didn't bother. I realise that the players are getting used to each other but surely forwards know that there is a chance the ball can be played through the gap and gamble on that. It looked on Saturday that if it wasn't passed directly to Wright or just in front of him then he wasn't interested.Ayari will give him a few games

So they have to get a player with ability and coach it into them. Just like they changed Hamer from a liability to one of the best players I have seen in many years if not the best.
He did, but his point isn't invalid as they coached discipline and consistency into him.Hamer had the ability from the start.
I don’t disagree, just stating why Wright and others aren’t being played to their strengths.But Hamer players cost Hamer money. And Hamer players want to play higher than the Championship.

But totally wrong mindset. He missed more games through suspension than he scored goalsHamer had the ability from the start.
There’s definitely something off with him.Wright still seems quite unfit. In a few closeups he looked deeply knackered.
Don’t think he’s got enough fitness yet to press or cover back.
But totally wrong mindset. He missed more games through suspension than he scored goalsit was never a surprise to be down to 10 men.

As various people pointed out at the time, it’s rated very similarly to the championship, but I’ve no idea how those ratings are calculated. It’s certainly looked less intense though and from his highlights my memory is that he had a lot more space to work with but that could partly be playing style and giving him balls he can run onto.It is still very early days for him. It'd be interesting if they could measure the physical intensity of each league. You'd imagine the Championship would be ahead of the Turkish league.

Might be more comparable if you looked up his performances against Galatasaray/Fenerbahce etc.As various people pointed out at the time, it’s rated very similarly to the championship, but I’ve no idea how those ratings are calculated.

At least we’re now free to sign anyone <£8m without the pressure of them being a record signing

It’s actually frightening how much he reminds me of Bakayoko. Got all the physical attributes, alright technically but doesn’t seem to have the confidence and aggression to make the most of
Not sure if this has been shared already but some good analysis about our press here which elaborates on a couple of things MR mentioned in his post match interview.That seemed to have been, at least partly, intentional today. As mentioned on the match thread MR said in his interview he and Simms did well to stop Norwich playing it out from the back how they like to. To me that sounds like they were told to block the passing channels, rather than close down. To fans that looks like ambling around in no man’s land.
Norwich were also setting traps. The strikers couldn’t press as Norwich had a man drop deep so could just move it around Simms or Wright once they went to a man. We need a midfielder to join the press. At some points this happened but that gave Norwich an out and they used these occasions to progress the ball to specs left in the middle.
That said, when Godden came on he pressed, and sometimes successfully. Also, I’m backing Wright and think some are too harsh on him, but think he does need to up his intensity and the league has been a big change which he needs to adapt to.
Football will become even more of a boring game if everything is stat related. That shit can go in the bin for all I care, without that own goal we'd still be trying to equalise now.Not sure if this has been shared already but some good analysis about our press here which elaborates on a couple of things MR mentioned in his post match interview.

I feel the same way. It’s easy for fans to say what a player should have done in any given situation but often a player will be trying to follow a game plan, a number of specific instructions, and react according to strengths or weaknesses of players around them. Considering some of the stick a few players have received recently I think that’s worth keeping in mind.Football is a more complicated game than I thought.
Looking back at Wright’s ‘highlight reel’, I’m getting the impression he was deployed more as a LFW or RFW, in certain matches, with instructions to run the channels, chase onto a long pass over the top (which, sadly, none of our midfielders can do) and get in the box when the ball is wide on the opposite flank etc.
This may explain at least some of his issues, in a new system.
Forgive me if I’m sounding cynical here, but if he was scouted, then signed, on the basis of how he played in a certain set-up, then it’s odd to think how he can suddenly provide the same output in a more constrained role?
I dunno, just thinking out loud.
I would definitely like to see that, whether MR will play that system is another story.This is why we should play 433 with Saka and Wright wide.
