I wonder what excuses people have for Bright not turning up today?
A) Dead relative
B) Waiting for PCR test result
C) ‘Injured’

D) Deliveroo order arriving late. Needed two drivers to bring it across.

That is missing out mate.

By the terms you set out, it's only missing out if we had agreed to play him ahead of O'Hare. Just because Paterson had a good game against Cardiff I'm glad we didn't take that option. I'm even happier that in the Summer 'Cov lad' love in many had on here, that we didn't sign James Collins either.

I doubt that Bright's contract has been ripped up
Only a foolish employer would do that as there will always be a process to follow whatever offence(s) the employee has committed
Even someone like Mendy at Man City who is remanded in custody on serious criminal charges will still be contracted right up to the point he's found guilty
If Mendy is found not guilty Man City will almost certainly have to take him back for the rest of his contract even though he's been unavailable for selection

I'd rather not go into detail about Bright but I've only been hearing bad things about this lad and it hasn't been improving

A club can't put up with repeated disruptive behaviour as it has the potential to destroy the atmosphere in the group as a whole
It's the last thing we need when things have generally been going so well
It's sad really as the lad has ability

There is talk in India of the club he played for there coming back in for him in January
The club has re-entered the league and has been recruiting players and a local media outlet speculated that they would be interested in bringing Bright back

Best thing for everyone that. He can go play in a pub league and be revered on probably a decent wage and we can go find a replacement in the loan market in Jan.

Yes he is absent
He was due to play in the Birmingham Senior Cup game but I believe he hasn't been in since then

So the same thing as a month ago then. Plays a couple of games and goes missing

Sky Blues boss says Enobakhare has to prove he's up to level

The attacking midfielder played 90 minutes and scored a goal for the Under-23s this week but is he ready to bridge the gap to the first team yet?

Well considering he didn’t play in the Senior Cup game and didn’t play today then there’s a good chance he’s AWOL

Well consider that Hilssner and Jobello both showed up and have still been training despite knowing they’re unwanted, and compare to Bright who has just signed but is doing less.

If I had to guess deep down this comes down to insecurity over not being good enough to just wing it. With his kind of bravado the confidence is often wafer thin

re Mendy there are grounds for dismissal based upon bringing your employer into disrepute - even if found not guilty. As its Man city - they will probably just negotiate a pay off to keep it simple

What makes this situation even more annoying is that he clearly has talent but can't be arsed. He should look at Jodie Jones who's battling to resurrect his career after 3 devastating injuries.

Football doesn't owe him a career he should want to earn it and all the good stuff that goes with it....

He's actually a really talented young man and technically one of the better players ive seen play for cov over the years. Just a shame that's only 50% of what's required, his attitude is clearly terrible. I Went to Blackburn Saturday and overheard someone say Bright is one of the 4 players who caught Covid but could be bullshit. To be honest he's had enough chances now, id be looking to get rid January but who would take him?

Quite. Handful of “maverick” like performances that showed a bit of promise. Also a handful of games where he was non-existent. Even on form there was no discipline in his game and he could quite easily be anonymous at this level. I see why we signed him as a gamble but if (as is looking more and more certain) he ends up on the football scrap heap you can’t confidently say he wasted obvious talent ala Saido Berahino. At the moment he’s in the Nile Ranger category.

Edit: to be fair to Bright Ranger is a bit of an unfair comparison given the latter’s criminal exploits. But in terms of commitment and (not, allegedly) turning up there are similarities.

There are people that want to right him off but there are people that defend him no matter what.

When Robins said about Hiwula "he would probably injure himself falling over his own feet" there wasn't 36 pages of people saying "we'll see how it goes". People said Robins is a difficult manager to please (which I think is fair) and said if Hiwula doesn't put the effort in then he won't feature he didn't and didn't.

MR makes some disparaging comments about Bright and SBT goes:

That’s fair enough. But a few posters have come on pretty strong about it from the off. Ardent Bright haters.
