Wright will have a good season. It’s a massive one for him given he’s not 100% in the US squad and with the World Cup being in the states he’ll want to be there.

he’s on for 20 goals as long as he stays fit - and I back him to keep going

He’s good enough to get more than that - if he stays fit.

He was very good when he came on - I don’t think anyone is seriously still thinking about the toys going out of the pram during the playoffs.

Hold my hands up, thought he'd perhaps had a whisper in his ear about a possible move towards the end of last season, hence why he'd gone off. Clearly, he just wasn't fully fit. I was way off the mark.

Good to see him back to his best, we all know what he can do when he's firing on all cylinders.

'Every'? You make it sound like he's been here much longer than the 2 seasons he has been here

Not made the US squad for upcoming games. Won’t pretend to know the sort of players that are in front of him but that’ll be a blow. Desperate for him to continue scoring and make a go of it at the World Cup.

Looked an instant threat, won his own pen, we look so much more dangerous when he's on it.

He was in the games I posted about, when it mattered.

Least you and your mate can give each other reach arounds over the big win of internet points because he scored a pen tonight.

In a selfish way I’m glad he’s not travelling and here with the boys. But it seems the squad has a lot of MLS based players for them as a trial.

Probs dropped him as he is useless and lazy am I right @Nick ?

Even Yakubu got an assist!!

At least Yakubu was injured, he still got an assist though I think?

20 goals? Wright is on a goal for every 64 minutes he has been on the pitch in the League. If he keeps this rate up he would be closer to 50 goals

Big wake up call for him. He's got to work very hard for that spot.

Being sent home injured will have done him no favours. It's better for us that he doesn't go just now, I think there's more still to come from him.

Looks a different animal atm, its weird, he's always been dangerous and i'm one of those that was a fan from day one but he can drift out of games. Absolutely honking end of last season too.
Is this another one Lampard can take to the next level? Lets hope so.

That's a good thing. Will give him a hunger to get back in.

Can’t understand why it can’t permeate through that Wright was injured towards the end of last season.

He came back from an injury just as he has literally come back from another injury now?

I'm not sure it's so black and white. It was reported by the USA team he was carrying the knock at the end of last season, he came back from an ankle injury, but it appears that he was then continuing to play through another one with his Achilles.

As far as we know this is him now fully fit for the first time since at least the end period of last season.

Maybe. Still guess work though.

The exact time frames are a guess. But it's not debatable the fact he was injured at the end of last season as both Lampard and the US team have said it ...

I suspect it's because it's hard to believe that Frank would have kept picking a seriously unfit player. For all the criticism of Simms on here, surely we'd have stood more chance of making the final if he'd played. Haji looks on fire now and I bloody love the guy, but he did virtually nothing in those playoff games.

Wake up call?

He's never been a guaranteed starter for them anyway.

He didn’t. But that’s hindsight. You only have to look at Simms’ game time now to realise that Lampard thought a semi-fit Wright was a better option.
