Same goes for Sakala when he plays out right. I actually think for the relatively small wage and homegrown status he is fine and a good squad player. He's more suited for bigger games for me where Tav isn't expected to bomb forward as much. Decent player to have when a game is stretched and there is space to play in, though does need to improve his final decisions. Has improved in tracking back though and staying focused. Think people don't see that he does a lot of work for the team off the ball too. SIRB_72 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
five stars 1,621 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 He had a good game with a few excellent touches and runs today. Maybe the OP was watching an old Aberdeen game? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albeartzzz 165 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I don't like him. i don't know why. His touch is awful and his "football intelligence" is non existent but he has numbers as does Fashion. Bizarre. Think we all just want him to be something he's not. He's a squad player and he pulls his weight enough. Maybe I shouldn't expect more as he's just a bit part player. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Williamson. 82,224 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Does a job, meant to be cover from the bench and is more than capable of doing that role. Sakala on the other hand is literal dog pish The Beast 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eskbankloyal 19,446 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Think his biggest issue was shown up today. Him & Matondo weren’t great but Matondo gets 2 assists, Wright does nothing. Likewise, Sakala always brings numbers. He’s not going to cut it, particularly in games like that. We needed more goal threat into the team. Colak, Lawrence, Tillman, Matondo all seem to bring it, he doesn’t AlbertzLoyalRSC and graeme_4 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
graeme_4 34,527 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 ‘Fine as a squad player’ is one of the biggest myths peddled on here. He isn’t. Offers next to no end product. Tries hard and runs into people fast. Miles off the standard we’re at. AlbertzLoyalRSC, eskbankloyal, Ivybank and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

slimjim1690 4,534 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I've given up on him ever improving his decision making, he's now played under various coaching staff and he still can't get his final ball right most of the time, I can't fault his effort and that gives him some plus points but I think until other priority positions get filled and then we can finally address the RW position with a better class of player he'll do a job for us just as long as we don't expect to much from him and accept him for the limited player he is.

DrLaudrup 4,606 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I totally understand why people think he isn’t a world beater. He isn’t and he is far from our best player but over a season we need players like time to be successful. We need quad players who get the club, have a good work rate, won’t upset the dressing room etc. Guys like Hurlock or Nisbet would never have for near our side if it was purely on ability but they did important jobs for us at times. We should be grateful we have improved our squad, are unified and are winning games. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even first half he beat his man twice and got to the byline before putting in a cross. Two assists and cracked the bar. Wasn't unplayable but nobody would have had any gripes if he was given motm.

RockwellGers 14,712 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I always think he's better than the vast majority on here seem to. He made some decent runs today and created some chances. He drives us forward and works hard. His level of effort is not backed up by a great success rate, but don't see why that can't improve. Before anyone says it yes I know he's 25 and not a young player finding his feet. ronniescu 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malkytfp1 18,594 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I think Wright is utilised best as an impact sub. Someone fresh to run at people when legs are tired. I'm just not a fan. He doesn't do enough when given opportunities. It's funny because in small moments he shows an explosive burst of pace and can be direct but he doesn't get involved enough for me. Canny understand how people can say he was good today. graeme_4, AlbertzLoyalRSC and Rangers_no1 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bannockbear 166 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 The guy shows flashes of good play, smart turns and runs at defences but tthe majority of his crosses hit the first man rather than him looking at another option.

ElBufalo20 7,892 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 He’s had a poor start to the season after a decent end to last. Hes not good enough to be a starter and I know people don’t like Sakala but I can’t see how Wright has been given these minutes this season while Sakala hasn’t kicked a ball and his contribution has been awful.
