Wish the club the best of luck in getting what we paid for him back. It’s a definite £ loss.

Acres of space and he can’t even get his shot on target. Criminal.

Wright is a decent championship striker/forward but not good enough for a side seeking auto promotion. we shouldn’t expect him to be better than he is.

Better than today you’re right but overall performances this season I think he’s been at his level.

I blame the spoilt, entitled fans who boo at the end of games and blame others. Get a grip.

Don't agree with the booing but you blame booing at the end of a game for the total failure to turn all that possesion into more than a couple of meaningful chances?

Missed a very easy chance and stood offside for the rest of it.

It frustrates me Haji standing off side at set pieces. Most of his decent chances today were actually flagged off side and therefore not chances to score

It is obviously a tactic so down to Lampard and the coaches as much as Haji Wright,surely?

It's not a tactic to be offside every second ball 🤣

Wright was Oxfords best defender today. Cleared one off the line and everything

It is. Lots of teams place players in blatant off side positions at set pieces. It’s where you go from there.

Wright was offside on the second balls too
Ah so you agree on the it is a tactic for him being deliberately off side on the first ball.

I'm not on about those. Every time the keeper made a save, game stops because he's offside from the rebound

But it is because he is off side to begin with. It’s a team tactic to place him where we do at the original dead ball. Because Simms does it too and don’t get me started on EMC positioning and running ahead of the ball.

When Esse hit that bullet volley it wasn't from a set piece.

Amazing though how of all the shitty performances today .. wright is the main one getting it mostly for missing 1 big chance
The reason he's gets so much shit is because it's not a one off. Probably 80% of his performances have been the same. My hope in him to put in any sort of performance is at an all time low.

Even before his goals, he was like a different player tonight. Strong, hungry and then clinical. If he can play at 80% of that performance consistently, for the rest of the season, we have a great chance of going up and he has a great chance of making the World Cup.
