Let’s face it, the majority of the fanbase don’t have a great record when it comes to rating strikers.

Vik last season a complete forward.
I care we paid £7.7M for a 26 year old...he needs a hell of a lot of improvement. How low are our expectations of our star striker...jeez.
He’s been panned for not scoring goals and over thinking the game. He got himself into the perfect position for goals and he is panned for scoring a tap in. Saul BollocksJust look like a footballer would be adequate.
I agree with this. He is on target for at least 12 goals as well. I’m confident that Wright and Simms will come good.The guy he replaced was a 20 million striker. He isnt going to be as good obviously. £7.7 m today isnt that much for a top level striker. If Wright gets say 12-15 goals this season thats actually at least good enough for a £5-7 million striker in todays market.
That being said i personally dont think we have seen anywhere near the best of him yet as he does have the attributes to be far better than he has been but its still early days for a guy who didnt get a pre-season and is in a new environment.
His goal against Boro wasn’t really a tap in and to be honest nor was the one against Blackburn.People to need to calm down with all the silly goal stats and comparisons. Wright has scored 4 tap ins that almost anyone could have put away. I’ll be more impressed when he actually creates himself a goal .

To be fair If he scores 20 tap ins We’ll be delighted with thatPeople to need to calm down with all the silly goal stats and comparisons. Wright has scored 4 tap ins that almost anyone could have put away. I’ll be more impressed when he actually creates himself a goal .
you've been in leicestershire too long, it's rotted your brainPeople to need to calm down with all the silly goal stats and comparisons. Wright has scored 4 tap ins that almost anyone could have put away. I’ll be more impressed when he actually creates himself a goal .
Still has a long way to go for me.
His movement off the ball is getting slightly better, but his team-mates either arn't seeing it or don't trust him enough yet to play the pass. This was evident against West Brom.
Having watched closely against Preston, his ability to hold a ball up under any sort of pressure is really poor currently. There's some really basic stuff he should be doing, such as getting his full body in-between the ball & the defender......controlling the ball with the foot furthest away from an opponent (safe side etc). It doesn't take a great deal of skill or even strength to do these things.
The goals will do him well in terms of confidence in front of goal.
Barry Bannan is mandatory for some reason - just listen next time Wednesday are on TV.Why do some players always get their full name instead of just their surname?
Number of goals scored = a silly goal stat? What would a sensible goal stat look like? How many 30 yards screamers or how about how many scored when it is raining?People to need to calm down with all the silly goal stats and comparisons.

As you can't see exactly where the left foot of the player marking Godden is, there is no way you can tell for sure, but Haji looks to be comfortably onside from that photo.I think the first is offside personally. Not that it matters.
Haji is on the 6 yard box, looks likely to be leaning forward. To me the defenders leg trying to block the shot, isnt quite over the 6 yard box. Very close but from that image, I have money on Haji being ruled offside by VAR.As you can't see the left foot of the player marking Godden, there is no way you can tell for sure, but Haji looks to be comfortably onside from that photo.
I'm not sure what is silly about it.People to need to calm down with all the silly goal stats and comparisons. Wright has scored 4 tap ins that almost anyone could have put away. I’ll be more impressed when he actually creates himself a goal .
I agree he has to show a bit more but the signs are there of a poacher.Yes I too hope he gets another 20 tap ins this season, more than anything it shows the team is creating chances, however 4 tap ins thus far doth not maketh a £7 million striker.

He’s 25?I care we paid £7.7M for a 26 year old...he needs a hell of a lot of improvement. How low are our expectations of our star striker...jeez.
He's there to play a role and its the goalscorer. I'm obviously not comparing ability, but look at how Haaland plays at Man City, his role is clearly to score and not much else.The "tap-in" debate aside, it's not unreasonable for people to want more from their record striker signing.
If he continues to tap in, then great, the focus is taken away from the many other elements of his game.

How about the basics of a striker holding the ball up...or even trapping it. Never mind link play. Hes atrocious. I think hes looking worse game by game.Number of goals scored = a silly goal stat?

You have to be in the right position to score a tap in. That in itself is one of the most important skills for a striker and the ability to be in the right place at the right time is why players like Erling Haaland are so prolific.
