Clearly not going by the overall barrage on the boy in this thread...Remember when folk wanted him in the Scotland squad because we played well Vs bottom of the Championship Dunfermline
He's an ok player, overrated by many on here.
Most were raving about him before yesterday.Clearly not going by the overall barrage on the boy in this thread...
They targeted himHe is mince .
Watched him v us at Aberdeen and thought he was a hardworker. Then watched him with Aberdeen v Ross County and he was shyte - got hooked after missing an easy chance,
On Thursday he came on and gave away 4 fouls when he never needed to.
We should be asking aribo before wright, the boys doing ok, when we play thru the middle as in the 1st half he was involved, tells you alotWe need more from him for sure he’s got the ability he just needs to back himself more
Yes he could, I don't know why that myth is still being spouted.Glen Kamara couldn't get a game for Dundee, so I'm not sure your point is valid.
Yep, the up and down nature of opinions based purely on the last game is insane.All of six weeks ago we had posters describing this guy as the next coming of Laudrup.
There's no support like us for getting carried away with descriptions of our players, positively and negatively.
It's a forum frequented by thousands of people, it seems pretty conceivable there might be more than one or two views read on here about players.All of six weeks ago we had posters describing this guy as the next coming of Laudrup.

Not a patch on Lent
I agree to a certain extent in that overall results this season were going to be worse, as last season simply couldn't be repeated, especially as we didn't improve the starting eleven.You’d think we got pumped 3-0 at home yesterday, all the players aren’t good enough, everyones a dud. Everyone needs to lower their expectations from last seasons miracle.
These results happen throughout the course of a season. Everyone needs to calm down.
A player with potential and a bit of quality but he need a lot of development imo.Have we had a full 90 minutes from him? Seems to disappear in games. He's a talent but thought he would be offering more by now.
Yup, had their fill of Lundstrum now desperate for their next target. Absolute losers the lot of them, and its the same names as well with every player, they must hate everyone.Can tell there’s a few posters who’ve been absolutely desperate to jump into Wright, can’t you?
You appear to be applying this as a general rule, that we sign a player with potential and he develops into a far better player.Yet again we need to stop and think. This time last season he was in and out of the Aberdeen team, was struggling with fitness and wasn’t rated by Del Boy so wasn’t in a good place.
He has come to us, a much bigger club with totally different expectations, has had to work hard on his fitness and is really a work in progress.
He needs time to develop and adapt. Look how long it took Tav, Barasic, Aribo, Hagi etc etc.
These threads are are as tedious as fu(k. We don’t have the money to buy the finished article. We have to develop players that is our business model. That will take time and patience.
As the OP can I say this has nothing to do with targeting Wright. Just expressed an opinion that he still hadn't fulfilled the expectation I personally had for him. To me he disappears in games and like many who posted on here feel that he is at the moment an impact player. Nothing at all wrong though in saying we had hoped for more. It's all about opinions. You've made yours, I've stated mine but you shouldn't use the word "hate". I want him to be a rip roaring success story as I believe all fans do. Leave the "hate" word to those that run down our club. They are the enemy.Yup, had their fill of Lundstrum now desperate for their next target.

Wright and Barisic are next in line for the FF brain trust's whipping boy.
Let’s be fair, how much game time has he had? He’s had a stop start season so far, give him a run of games and then judge, Kent has had a shit load more game time & has no been great so far, I know that can be applied to most of the players, but using yesterday as a baseline to cast an opinion as to wether wright is a player or not is very misleadingI got hammered on here earlier in the season saying Scott Wright needed to actually do something, step up and stand out so to speak. In terms of assists or scoring goals he brings nothing to the table.
If Kent played the way he has so far this season he wouldn’t have been any better than Wright.Anyone implying we didn't miss Kent is surely a fan of crystal meth
He done nothing but give away daft fouls last Thursday.Noticed he found the step in the European games too hard, he looked a lost boy in them.
Inexperienced, can’t blame him due to the fact he played with Aberdeen but he’ll need to learn and adapt quick.He done nothing but give away daft fouls last Thursday.
Jordon Jones was a decent back up.I’m leaning towards a journey man. our desperation for a back up to Kent has inflated his worth.
Well, alas, we have Kent, who is of the same ilk and end-product category, but only here for the best part of 4 years or something. For one reason or another, Kent can`t do anything wrong even if he offers little for long spells. But if someone like Wright or dare I say Jones and/or Barker get a game and produce anything immediately, they become next week`s whipping boys.Dynamic runner but no end product, added to the frustration today
Difference being Hagi actually had COVID.Well, alas, we have Kent, who is of the same ilk and end-product category, but only here for the best part of 4 years or something.

He`s been a fine impact player so far, Kent has been a regular and shown - by his own standards - very little to justify a starting place ahead of Wright, Sakala, Roofe or the like.
IMHO, what games like the one against Lyon or Motherwell needed were the creative spark and shooting willingess of Hagi behind a front three. I do wonder what actually holds up his return to Scotland, given that the 2 Lyon-Brazilians were allowed in despite not fully quarantined or whatever it was.
Therein lies the problem. Its early days granted but our recent buys don't seem to be at the level to dislodge any of the team from last season. If you haven't got competition for your place then it would be easy to slip into complacency.Iv
Ive got to say that Roofe was not near as good as that boy and not a word said about it, it's not our recent buys that's our problem it's the team that won us the league last season that's not turning it on and Stevie G is not one for dropping his favourites.
Josh Windass got goalsgetting josh windass vibes from
Wright at this moment in time. Hopefully he steps it up.
Couldn't agree more. The whole team is struggling for consistency at the moment. Injuries, suspensions, the Euros,Covid, have all contributed to a disrupted pre season and start to the season.Still early doors for Scott Wright IMO, he looks decent, and hopefully will improve by the end of the season. If not then I'll be a bit more critical of him, but too early just now.
Did u watch Jordan jones in a Rangers jersey?Jordon Jones was a decent back up.
Fickle fickle fickle people.To think that many fans were calling for Hagi (the SPLs top assister last season) to be dropped out the team for Wright.
Some will some won't. Jordan Jones is a really good example of one that could have developed but didn't. Barker another. Jack one that did, Kamara, Barasic etc etc. What is for sure is you cant tell after a few months. We had hoards of posters wanting Barasic freed after half a season. They have ripped into Lundstram, then last week after a decent game he is now fine.You appear to be applying this as a general rule, that we sign a player with potential and he develops into a far better player.
Jones, Windass etc were decent footballers. They had talent but didn't have the mental strength to play for a club with standards where you have to win every game. that is why they will have a decent career in the lower leagues.Jordon Jones was a decent back up.
