56 | Jacob Wright - 2024/25

[WallyA]

Could have used him today.

 

[come-on-barney]

Could have used him today.

We didn’t learn anything without him for sure

 

[.db.]

Could have used him today.

Aye.

Looks a really active player. Excellent presser. Wants the ball. Covers the ground well.

Wouldn’t do any less than some of our starting midfield of late.

 

[1961_vintage]

Should have used him today.

Fixed.

I know Pep is stubborn as a mule, and sometimes loyal to the senior players to a fault, but we need some fresh legs in the middle of the park. Particularly when we lose the ball, neither Bernie or Gundo (or Kev assuming he plays against Brighton) have the legs to track back.

So I’m hoping against hope that he bites the bullet and plays either Jacob or Nico against Brighton. They certainly will give us youthful tenacity in midfield.

I agree, but can’t see it happening. When it comes to young players it’s almost impossible in the league

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

Can we give him a chance in midfield please

 

[skillman]

Can we give him a chance in midfield please

Was just thinking this.

A youngster with energy, bite and eagerness to impress. Rather than being another player in the 90 minute rondo that the others are happy to do.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

With more injuries maybe we could give him a chance. We have young players who could be good enough to step up

 

[Haaland94]

Give him a chance to play DM for us. Tuesday, please.

Could have used him today.

He could off been used yesterday. He's a lot stronger than Lewis, who is continually knocked about by the opposition and is too lightweight.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

I keep hearing that we have no midfielders. Can we not just give this guy a go. He’s got to be better than what we currently have

Can't be any worse than an aging Gundo.

 

[Manchester_lalala]

Honestly, he CAN’T be any worst than our current options. We need energy in midfield, just something ffs. Kovacic and Wright for the remainder of the season. Why the fuck not as nothing else is working?

 

[MCFCFanTX]

This is the guy pep needs to be developing and giving mins to.

 

[skillman]

One of the biggest shames this season so far has been Wright not getting a lot of minutes. Always looked impressive when he has played.

 

[ChicagoBlue]

Last saw him at Spurs in the Cup and liked what I saw. Have advocated for his inclusion numerous times, but was surprised he wasn’t even on the bench yesterday. Injured?

 

[bondsman]

Shame he didn’t get the minutes Kovacic got yesterday

 

[Ric]

 

[MCFCFanTX]

Shame, I really liked how he played/looked in limited time. Good luck to the kid.
