Transfer Rumour Haji Wright (5 Viewers)
- Thread starter Winny the Bish
- Start date
I think that’s unfair.
If you watch the replay it falls a bit behind him and the keeper is on the floor right in front of him. He’s tried to scoop it over the keeper and put far too much on it somehow.
Should have scored really but it was an awkward situation.

Would Godden get the same argument?

HW has shown a few - I accept not enough - touches that make me think he might yet turn out to be OK.
We need to let him settle in and hopefully get a goal or two, which should boost his confidence. As others have said, neither Vik nor Gus set the world on fire when they first arrived.
Many on here have been slating Simms but he was arguably our best player last night, certainly in the first half. He was very unlucky not to score what would have been a cracking goal and was reminiscent of Vik.
I'm not saying that HW is going to be great, just that we need to be patient and give him time to prove himself.

He would from me.

Agree, came at him pretty quickly and I've seen better players than him make a mess of those chances.
Having said that, overall he was still shit and as for Godden he'll be putting his hands to his ears next time he scores

And against Sunderland I think. Was put clean through by Ayari. Just had keeper to beat.

These are the exact things we said about Vik when he first joined. He looked garbage.
The thing Vik learnt was to use his body. Haji needs to realise he can bully defenders.
Listening to the Ben Wilson podcast, he mentioned about Viks lifestyle. Said the bloke trains hard and eats incredibly well etc. Haji needs to work hard.

You can tell vik is dedicated to the sport .. but he never looked as bad as haji wright for me

I though Vik looked hopeless early on. You couldn't work out his attributes. He was bang average at everything.
He went away and become good at everything. He's not perfect at anything and his finishing was still poor.

At least Gyokeres looked like he’d seen a football before. Wright plays a bit like when a 100m sprinter or a rugby player is asked to play in Soccer Aid.

Not seen many forwards that can run at players like vik .
He's quite a unique player imo

He wasn't doing that early on though.

I still felt he had something there , look at his signing thread , loads of us were very happy as we could see potential.. many are struggling to work out how wright even became a pro at the moment

If you watch his highlight reel, you can see what he's about.
The worry is, maybe the Championship is too physical for him. He can't push defenders around like he did in Turkey?

Considering thats his best bits......how the fuck did we end up paying £7m for him.....

If you watch a highlight reel of Vik, you'd say the same.

It is still easier to get on target than put over the bar.

....Well...not quite, cos we didn't spend £7m+ on Vik......

Someone did spend €20m thought.
Viks highlight real of looks clunky. Most of his goals are scuffed.

Or he hasn't learnt to adjust yet. He is obviously a better player than we are seeing currently.

He’s the strongest player I’ve ever seen TBF.
Gyokeres did genuinely look poor in his loan spell. Then he scored that goal away at Stoke and seemed to awaken the beast … I know the fee brings completely different expectations but all we can do it hope and pray he has an ‘awaken the beast’ moment and he finds some almost anger and drive to play with because at the moment it’s too casual and nervous

Agreed but none of that was obvious in his first season here, he started to show some signs but he transformed over the summer in 2021

Players of this nature tend to go to the top. Good luck to him.

The 30 day refund policy has surpassed, we are fucked.
I agree. Was a bad miss but it looked worse on the replay. Still can’t believe their keeper saved the first shot from Thomas, incredible save.

Pretty sure the original intention was to play Godden / Walker / Waghorn and Gyokeres as appropriate too, just Gyokeres made himself undroppable.

perhaps he should have tried Obikwu for the last 10 minutes, at least he knows where the goal is!!!

I think he'll be fine. We're not actually creating that many clear cut chances IMO. Last night he should have scored. But I don't think he's had a ton of opportunities. I think we need to go back to the box - let Kelly and Eccles sit in with Allen and Ayari buzzing around...until O'Hare returns.
Did Godden even have a shot last night?
