This system appears to suit him better than two up top, but there’s no denying he was miles off it tonight

When you say miles off it, who was on it? I’d understand if we were creating a lot and he was the weak link but he really really wasn’t. We look devoid of any creativity across the pitch

Thought other than his glaring miss (I know that’s his job) he lead the line well tonight. Felt sorry for him, he looked like he wanted the ground to swallow him up.

I did notice Robins applauding the fans for singing Wright’s name after his second half miss - I wonder how long that backing from the fans will last.

I thought he did alright too. Some of his spins on the edge of the box were excellent. You can see his confidence is low.

Agree, when were looking to go forward and need an option he's just stood flat footed never looks to bend a run or look for space, always wants it to feet, when he does run into space hes offside. Frustrating

Wants it to feet, yet was caught offside a few times when making a run off the defenders shoulder?

I think Wright switches off for long periods when the ball isn't near him. He's happy to stand marking an opposition player on the edge of the their box when the opposition are launching a sudden attack. He doesn't seem to understand the basics about finding space or working hard off the ball.

Got no problem with him missing chances and he was at least involved in the first half but the two points above are my greater concern. 9 times out of 10 he offers absolutely no run or out ball which prevents us getting forward quickly. Doesn't seem to have any movement for a striker. I know they are very different players but Godden comes on and his movement puts Wright to shame.

We need a hitman, I mean a target man.
No, I was right first time - We need a hitman.
I just can't see this issue being resolved any other way.

He doesn't seem to understand or care about drawing a defender with him by doing a diagonal run etc off the ball to allow space for another player to move in . It's not rocket science. It's what should be instinctive to some degree.

It was genuinely quite funny how often he was just standing offside for absolutely no reason.

Either that or resign himself to some remedial striker coaching.

People need to watch that match again in full. Wright spent most of the game trying to hide amongst the Albion defenders or straying offside but when it was laid on a plate for him he was dreadful. His movement to create space is woeful. I honestly think Simms would be better in that one up top role and that’s saying something.

Interesting many are picking up his lack of movement. Thought he moved plenty far earlier on in moves, as if he wanted a direct ball. When it works to the edge of the box, as we did a million times, he didn’t really offer anything. Watched the chances back and the main one everyone’s speaking about wasn’t particularly an easy chance but he has to hit the target. Of more concern was the first half chance where it’s come to him for a first time finish on the edge of the 6 yard box and he’s put it well wide.

Yeh I agree, I thought his movement was actually fine, it's the finishing that was the problem. Clearly a confidence thing and its going to take some turning around now. None of our strikers look the answer atm.

I think he means the other one, when he went with his left foot instead of his right. He put it wide.

I agree with that, he was always on the move but wanted the ball much earlier. We delay, delay, delay, pass. Then he's offside or the pass is no longer on. Even when we get it wide, we take an age to get the ball in

We can go on about formations and tactics and the Eccles corners and the price of ham etc etc but it's been a dreadful piece of recruitment for £7.7m and he simply isn't good enough and we have accept that and not keep looking for reasons and over analyse it too much.

Good players can play in any formations or show ability. Walking home last night i was reflecting and if we had simply recruited better with a couple of half decent forwards we would have won that game or worse case got a draw. The performance at times was good but we have to start again in the close season and move on and try and claw back as much as possible from Wright and Simms and do better next time.

Thing is if YOU was Doug King would you have confidence in the recruitment? I know what i'd be thinking.

Wright is lacking confidence.

I do think he needs to be stronger. He is a big lad with pace and should be bullying defenders.

He reminds me of Vik when we had him on loan. But not a physical.

Vik had the luxury of Hamer and COH playing ball to him. Where atm our midfield looks lost.

I'll say it, he looked twice the player last night playing up on his own, almost Bakayoko-esque. Just the confidence needed to finish his chances and he might yet still be a player for us.

I think the issue is that Vik was good at so many different things that you can compare him to any kind of striker. He was phenomenal at holding up the ball and link-up play, whereas Wright doesn’t do that at all.
