I thought Wright did okay but not great. Similar to Wilson, the ball never really went anywhere near him most of the game as we were lumping it forward to nobody rather than trying to play through the middle. On the rare occasions he had the ball he tried to make things happen but more often than not on Sunday it didn't quite happen for him. That's the kind of player he is though - on a different day the runs and tricks come off and he's unplayable, but when it doesn't come off he just gives the ball away. I hope we persevere with him at no10 for a few games, give him the opportunity of a run in the team to get some confidence and show what he can do. He's still a bit lightweight, but I think he has a lot to offer if he gets the chance.
