Going to break 50 this season surely? 56 probably too far this season but could well end next season our third top all time scorer.

So many of those are bollocks its making my eyes hurt. McSheffrey scored 72, as did Dion. Cyrille scored 62 ffs. Gibson 52. In fact more are wrong than are right.

Who Wright? Nowhere near. McSheff scored 61 league goals and Wright is on 44.

A table like that means next to *uck all. Some of those near the top were playing in a regularly struggling 1st division team.
If anyone is telling me Wright is anywhere near as good as Dublin, then they don’t watch football.
And please don’t say they were different types of strikers.

You're having an argument against yourself there, don't think anyone said he was as good as Dublin.

As a goalscorer for us Regis was pretty poor.

To be fair, when watching the highlights from Saturday I thought I heard the commentator say similar. Its still bollocks though.

He's the best striker we've had since coming down - loved some of our others, who I actually got to see play at Wembley twice - but Wright's goals will take us up, and he will have his chance in the PL.

He said on the Championship. That may still be bollocks, but he certainly said it.

Yeah, you shouldn't go on a football message board and criticise a striker who doesn't score for, checks notes, 3 months.

By your logic you shouldn't be critical of MVE.

Exactly this. Two blokes behind me slag him off constantly. Even the games he hasn't even started!

It's because he's not a headless chicken, bite-the-defenders'-lwgs type forward.

His style and demeanour is quite languid and he doesn't play like you'd expect a big man to play.

Some fans struggle with this, though they probably also struggle with tying their laces.

One thing I will say, though, is that when Wright's bad, he can be very bad, and also his head can drop because of it.

On the eye I would agree but you can’t argue with statistics when Wright has a marginally better record in a top of the table side.

Wright has a much better team around him the Gyokeres did, can you imagine how many goals vik would score in this team.

Hamer and Vik carried a very average team to the brink of promotion. Let’s keep it real folks.

Haji's overtaken my hero Ernie Hunt. How could he.

OK, I'll give him a free pass I guess.

List of Coventry City F.C. records and statistics - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Not that I believe Wikipedia is exactly the best source, but it seems to tally with what @skybluelee has said. Maybe something the Sky Blue Archive needs to include with a definitive list.

For what it's worth, Haji Wright is 23rd all time, strong chance to get up to 16th before the end of the season if he keeps this current form up

Yeah that looks more accurate, but even that isn't 100%. Gynn scored 45 and Ndlovu 41!

I'm not even convinced by the Archive at this point (although I presume its still a WIP). Last time I looked it had Bourton down as 189. I've never seen anywhere else have him down as that many before. And they have 73 for McSheff which is wrong. He's 72 same as Dion.

Yes I think still WIP - I think some goals have just been entered as the wrong player on a match page, and it's filtered through to the player page. Something I'll go back and check when I have time (I entered match data on there for a dozen or so of the seasons) as we all want it to be a trustworthy source!

Let’s be frank. Gyokeres wasn’t and isn’t that good. Wright is as good and has as much goalscoring clout in the champ as Yok does. The Portuguese league is not a good indicator and he’s way out of his depth in the prem at Arsenal. You can’t compare either to Regis who was next level and had to do what he did whilst being punched and kicked in a way that would consign most forwards nowadays to 80 minutes with their faces in the turf rolling about and slapping the ground like a pantomime actor.
