@covcity4life you can give me poo emojis, but what’s your rational reason for why Godden was running and Wright wasn’t?
I genuinely don’t get it.

Agreed. At first viewing it looked like it was harder to miss and on the second viewing, it was a very well placed finish.
It’ll do him a world of good.
Drives me nuts. We’ve got a couple next to us and my Dad literally can’t pop up and down with them.
Watching the goal back it’s a very nice poachers goal from Wright. He sees Ayari shaping for the shot and makes a run towards goal, stays alert and is a step ahead of any of their defenders who get caught flat footed.
Nice to see from him even after not scoring recently.

As a small aside, notice Allen making a special effort to go up to him after the goal, encourage him, congratulate him.

They don't both need to chase the keeper down. Your just doing what u always do. Convince yourself he's not good and lazy etc because you said it and now need to stick to it.
I've watched some stuff from Turkey, they sit off and let the defence have the ball and space - like zonal marking. He needs time to get used to Championship football and the way we play, and it's going to take longer than the equivalent of 5 matches. You also don't know what the coaching team told him to do from a tactical point of view.
Being honest I didn’t think he would score, I thought it would be a tame header into the keepers arms or go wide. He took it well and hopefully his confidence will grow from it. Should probably have run into the corner at the end though.

Also noticeable Godden's reaction in pushing both Simms and Wright towards the fans to get their appreciation when they have scored.
It's their team spirit that is contributing to players like Allen, Kelly and Godden staying in the team at the expense of more expensive signings. It counts for a lot.

Anyone have any opinion on how this transfer compares to when Norwich bought Sargent for €9.5 mil at 21? I know he was younger, but another USA international who had, however, only managed 13 in 72 for Bremen. He now has 18 in 70 for Norwich, which doesn't seem like a great return either.
Ahh yes the same Jamie Allen who was labelled on here as stupid and not being able to talk.
To be fair, someone on here said Wright was a child because he couldn't make eye contact, so I guess he fits right in.
What? I’ve not said he’s lazy, I’ve said he’s crap. Get it right. Why do you think he wasn’t running though? It can’t be saving himself.
I sincerely doubt after six years of pressing forwards Robins has decided to give him a pass
First part is interesting though, I’m still not sure how much training “run” requires.Wright is just an example, Ayari was similar a few weeks back. You’ve got 15-20 mins you should be able to run ant a reasonable clip almost the entire time TBH.
paid for your season ticket yet?
no one is going to take the views of a fella who can't even buy a season ticket properly seriously
He didn't need too at that point. He took ball and won a corner . Later he countered and took a shot. Stop acting like he did fuck all when he came on.
Your actually annoyed he scored. This is crazy
I’m not talking about when he had the ball. I’m talking about off the ball. Godden was legging it about closing down at 90+ mins and Haji had been on for ten minutes and seemed to be walking around. Like I say Ayari did it as well. It’s a certain player thing I just don’t get. You’re on for twenty mins run your socks off, you ain’t going to tire out.
Everyone does that it can also pull you out of shape.
I would get it if it was noticeable that not pressing but to me it wasn't. Yes godden chased keeper down v late but I don't wright was just stationary or anything like that
Robins will want wright to close down and work tirelessly , Jesus christ we tell our u12 girls team to press and work hard so it's a given that mark robins , who has everybody else doing it is asking the same from his professional outfit
Yeah, but if we want to compare like with like, he scored 13 in 40 in the league last season. Probably half of those against us mind you!
Wright won't get anywhere near the starting line up until he starts doing it, (injuries aside).
Hopefully he cottons on to what's required sooner rather than later.
Speak for yourself, I always write to my parents about the scoring records of random championship strikers, past and present.

He has been near starting line up already though.
I don't disagree with your point btw. Just don't think wright doesn't try to press because didn't make the fan pleasing run at keeper press.
I'll keep an eye on it next time he gets on the pitch though.
