Have all our injuries this year been on plastic pitches?
Have all our injuries this year been on plastic pitches?
Just bumping up this thread I started back in August 2017... I heralded Wright as possibly the most exciting young player we’ve produced since Jess... I may have been slightly optimistic but he’s certainly starting to come good playing in a more attack minded team and a more central position.
Aye DC good shout three years back, he has been a bit unlucky with one thing and another over the past couple of years but the more he plays the better he gets, he really is a joy to watch.
Why he was left out on Thursday in Lisbon remains a mystery to me, the lad is a livewire and should probably be one of the first names on the team sheet week after week.
I’ve never been convinced by Wright. Thought he was soft, too lightweight & I’ve seen him hide a good few times in big games.
That said, he’s been absolutely excellent so far this season. Him & Hedges have been the real difference makers in the team. You feel something positive could happen every time they are on the ball & the way Wright takes the ball and his first thought is immediately to push forward is great to see & a real threat.
He’s a confidence player. His confidence is sky high just now & it’s showing in his play.
He shouldn’t have been dropped on Thursday - no question.
That said, the big test for him, the team & DM comes with the two Timothy games coming up.
Wright needs to step up & do it against that level of opposition. If he does that, like Jess used to do all the time - then I’ll truly be convinced we have a plaaaar on our hands.
Over to you Scotty min...
For me the big difference is his brain is now in sync with his feet. Always felt before his timing was out. He was off trying something before he really had control of the ball.
