I think you're doing the spreaddie a massive disservice there pal.

He has an obsession with me.

I imagined this in an Ulster accent and got a bit scared

Unfortunately, years of living in W.Sussex/Portsmouth, has softened the accent. That said, as soon as I speak to someone back home, it's back in full Ian Paisley splendour!

It was Pochettino who told us that Haji arrive in the US injured back in June. His achilles problem was still troubling him then, which was a good few weeks of rest after the playoff games.

As reported in the Telegraph:

“It’s always sad to see a player leave, because the group was very good, and he’s a very good guy and adds very good quality to the group,” said Pochettino, who revealed Wright reported for duty from the Sky Blues with Achilles issues.

“He’s a player that can play in different positions in the attack. Yes, sad situation - sad for him, sad for the team - but I think we need to prioritise his process to recovery.

“He already arrived with some problems in his Achilles, and then we cannot fix the problem. He increased pain. That is why that is the decision that we take.”

We played them in a league cup match in early 90s, Wegerle was sent off and we lost 2-0. I thought the gloves wearer was Neil Pointon & the Oldham fans called him Psycho like we did with Stuart Pearce. He went to take a throw in & we were singing "Psychos got his gloves on"

I was there for that, didn't he get sent off for swearing at the ref?

Haha, oh wow this is gold.

Not only are you obsessed with me, you seem to have an obsession with my dad, my background, my upbringing. It's pretty unhinged at times.

 

[Snaily]

He won't be doing much training,it did us OK after the Millwall game. Haji will be on fire Saturday mark my words

Agree. It’s the cumulative effect over the season that concerns me. Being selected for USA games over the next 6 months could take its toll come the Championship run-in in April

The reply was the first on the football side of the forum today. It’s stalking behaviour.

Fuck me the kids are at it again

Don't worry I'm not going to clog this thread up any further with this tedious shite.

Get where your coming from, hopefully have promotion sewed up by then

second was a great finish

Smart finish but I’d expect most championship keepers to stop it. Or at least even get near it. Not like it was buried far in the corner. Shite from Ryan.

ok mate

Collins misses that he’d be hung on here. The denial is hilarious. Good goal, awful keeping. Both are possible, children.

 

[Speedie's Head]

He connected really well, that's what beat the keeper. Almost the prefect shot.

That and the keeper halving himself in size for some reason.

 

[David O'Day]

it's more he took it really early not giving him time to set

 

[blunted]

I wonder if any of the above has changed his mind about him?



In fairness, the above comments were made in the aftermath of his poor showing in the playoffs.

People at the match this season despite all his goals still say he needs replacing with a proper striker?
You know who you are.

 

[NortonSkyBlue]

Wright is doing his best to surpass Gyokeres and is making a mighty good fist of it. Goals will be the deciding factor and if he can assist us in getting over the line then any opinions become just opinions.

Agree. Decent shot but it was nowhere near the corner, very poor keeping.

 

[Calista]

Poch gives Haji's first goal a really dodgy salute!

 

[Kilclines curly mullet]

Could have done without that. Extra minutes in his legs not what we need with a small squad.

Great for his confidence, hope it doesn’t come back to haunt us

When you are scoring for fun and enjoying your football tiredness is not an issue

 

[Yorkshire SB]

Wright is nowhere near Gyokeres...

22/23 Gyokeres was basically our only outlet up front, scored 21 + 10 assists playing in a worse team and while playing basically every minute in the league.

100%

 

[covcity4life]

He is USA best striker
USA is best nation in the world(we know this is true because amount of films about it)
So we have the BEST STRIKER IN THE WORLD

 

[David O'Day]

The 2nd goal is a great early finish, ignore the edgelords who say it's the keepers fault kids.

 

[SleepyGinger]

I really like the idea of a Coventry City player leading the line for the home nation in a World Cup being supported by 350 million Americans

What on earth can the keeper do about that

250 million Americans and 100m immigrants

Really interesting how him and his main competition (Sargent) have ended up competing for the spot in the same league.

Also got Damion Downes at Southampton and Patrick Agyemang at Derby who have both made the squad recently

“I genuinely think Simms will be fine. Hes hardly played any mins. I actually gave faith in Simms and think hes the real deal. When he scores 1 he will be on a roll.
Simms looks more of a footballer than Wright.
Wright is just massive gamble which is looking like a complete and utter waste of Gyokores money.”

“Wright wouldnt score 20 in league 1 mate. Hes got no consistency to his game. He doesnt know what his bread n butter is.”

“Big issue is when it's not working for you or the team you have to put yourself about do the basic minimum. At least let the defenders know your there! He offered nothing. His shooting whilst leaning back is awfull something a school kid wouldn't do.

I'm struggling to see the positives. When honestly I have searched for them long and hard.”

“Great work from Dean Austin. Haji Wright bargain of the season. defenses around the championship shitting themselves about our record signing.
He wouldn't look put of place in league 2.”

“I wish they did call me before they spunked £12M. On Kitching and Wright.
Would have saved the club £10M. In money they will never get back.”

“Simms has so much more to his game than Wright and is light years ahead of him in every department.
No comparison between Simms and Wright. Simms has single handedly changed games this season.
Huddersfield at home his shot that won us that game from crossbar.
Simms was excellent vs QPR and again again when he come on as Sub at Preston.
Wright is only playing as hes our record marquee signing, and Robin's is clearly trying to polish a turd every week.”

“Simpleton fans think scoring two tap ins that even he couldnt miss, paves over the shocking display over 98 mins.
Simms did more offensively in 20 mins than haji has in many many games.”

“This guy has.

No strength.
No first touch.
Cant hold the ball up.
Cant head the ball.
Cant stay on side.
Missed a sitter...so cant score.
His technique is very bad.
He actually doesnt know what he wants to do with the ball.”

No further questions your honour

 

[fernandopartridge]

Wright is nowhere near Gyokeres at this level and I’ve always backed Haji

He's an objectively bigger goal threat than Gyokeres was

Played in much better and more attacking teams, Gyokeres was our whole attack that year and he dragged us to the play off final.

Yes, fair to say there is a lot more to Gyokeres' all round game

 

[Sick Boy]

We have a few players who are starting to look Prem ready imo.

Terrific turn of pace over 6 yards for the first goal. I wish he had that much space to play off the last defender every week in the Championship!

I've been a Wright fan since he hit the bar against Leicester in his first game, Desert Orchid in a field of blackpoll donkeys as we used to say! I don't imagine that his agent would be advising him to sign a new contract this side of promotion and the WC though, unless King really breaks the bank. Hopefully he can strike some kind of deal.

If we don’t go up this season he’ll likely be off to the PL in the summer, IMO.

 

[SwanLane]

Sargent’s got a lot to do now. Hasn’t scored for the yanks for ages.
