He's not a natural goal scorer. He tends to hit the centre of goal rather than the corners. Even watching him in shooting practice before the game he rarely scores. Really not sure what to make of him. He does somethings really well, he has enough pace, can dribble with the ball and can head it well. Yet he often seems on the back foot and lacks anticipation in the box. He doesn't seem a natural footballer. I wonder at what age he started playing? Maybe a convert from basketball or American football at high school as he clearly is an athlete.
Go and rewatch his goals this season.Yet he often seems on the back foot and lacks anticipation in the box.
Was it done like the strikers big man small manEFL Cup. Barely even a real game.
I don’t recall him playing centre back there, Bidwell moved to LCB and Saka to LWBEFL Cup. Barely even a real game.

We been feeding Wright pretty well so far I'd say with very good chances. Just he's been missing them.It’s incredible we’re looking to judge Wright in November. If you want to introduce Gyokeres into the argument you’d have to compare where he was after a handful of starts - and that he had Hamer and O’Hare feeding him.

He's unlikely to create anything for himself from what I've seen. Yeah time will tell. When do we start judging him? At end of season?
Say it time and time again wright is a winger not a striker. Most of his goals from Turkey were from the wing and that is where he is most effective. Robins has just seen someone tall and fast who scored goals and stuck him down the middle.
You would hope anyone we buy for £8M having "potential" would be bare minimum. And you would hope he realises the potential of a £8M player sooner rather than later at this level.At least, if not next season. He wouldn’t be the first signing to take that long to show his potential.
So if he has improved his game 100% in the equivalent minutes of 12 games, just think what he might be like next season.In saying all that I hope he bangs in a hatrick tonight and rips them a new one.
Happy to eat humble pie on Wright.
In saying all that he has improved his all round game 100% but it's from a very low base.
Like I said it was from a very base. He's 26 you would like to think he's going to get up to speed very soon. Considering it's almost December.So if he has improved his game 100% in the equivalent minutes of 12 games, just think what he might be like next season.

I’ve seen them all live and seen the highlights. He’s had some luck with rebounds that have literally dropped at his feet between the width of the posts. He just doesn’t seem on the same wavelength as the other players at times. The 5 yard passes go astray, he runs the ball out of play. I guess frustrating sums him up as I say does a lot of things well but then makes basic cock ups.Go and rewatch his goals this season.

This 100%
He’s not performed at the level and for a 25 year old who has had top level training in Europe including Germany I’d expect much more technical quality.
I mean, he was at the LA Galaxy set up at the same time as Robbie Keane so he’s had the opportunity to study how a striker should play.
Others can make excuses and throw about the whataboutery but from my view as a fan he’s been worryingly slow to get a grip.
He needs to.
He would have been 14 years old when Robbie Keane was thereThis 100%

I’m pretty sure academy kids would have watched the first team play.He would have been 14 years old when Robbie Keane was there
He’s on a run nowTbf the fallacy of 'once one goes in he'll go on a run' is bollocks
Didnt go on a run after boro
Didnt after Blackburn
Didnt after Preston
4 goals in his last 5 games, carry this on and he's getting 20

20 would be a decent haul first campaign for a new club in a new league.Just said in his CWR interview he's got a goal set for the season, and he's hoping to achieve it. Didn't say what it was, but I reckon he's aiming for 20
He was a hell of a lot better tonight
