I think the booing of individual players at any time in a game is horrendous. Counter-productive.

He didn’t get booed today, but he offered nothing going forward., same as his mates Campbell and Doyle-Hayes.

Booing of the performance was justified at the end though. 2 games in a row against two woeful bottom teams and same identikit display from a pedestrian Hibs team.

How Kensell can call the last transfer window a “7 out of ten” is utterly beyond me.

He sums up Hibs right now - very average and predictable.

Means well..few nice moments but literally no end product or contribution which will make a difference. Mostly does the safe pass and happy just to tick along nicely.

I don’t like him getting booed but he’s not good enough. Even without injuries we are crying out for quality in attacking midfielders.

Unseen work
05-03-2022, 04:53 PM
He just offers nothing going forward, absolutely nothing.

I have tried to be fair to him but as a right winger/attacking player for Hibs you need to do more, simply keeping it isn’t good enough.

Even Brandon Barker, someone who was scoffed at in January by many is a far better player and at least goes for it, give me him over Wright any day.

Henderson has a million miles to go to convince me he should be playing, the odd deft touch doesn't make him a player.

His ball retention is brutal, the amount of 60/40 or better situations in his favour he goes into contact with the ball and comes out without it is frightening.

He looks like a boy amongst men and timid with it

Wright had a far far better game without doing anything than Henderson had today

Can’t think of him ever beating a man without the ball going out of play,As you say others nothing going forward.
Will probably still start the next game though

I think Henderson has a good footballing brain and plenty of ability with the ball at his feet. I think however he is seriously sluggish and doesn't look like he has the energy/pace/explosiveness required. People have been claiming Scott Allan doesn't have the legs for it - but Henderson is less mobile than him.

Wouldn’t boo a Hibs player ever but he’s in a privileged position to be playing for us. So far away from the standard required.

He looks like he might make a half decent right back. I don't see anything in him that suggests he should be playing in a forward thinking role.

Its absolutely pathetic that we are talking about trying to fit players into positions where they might be decent. Most of that team are not good enough for a Hibernian First XI.

I'm not suggesting he plays for us anywhere.

I'm just suggesting generally that he might be a better player there than he is as an attacking midfielder.

No but we aren’t allowed to say that anymoreOf course we are.

He wasn't good today, but he didn't stand out as any worse than at least 50% of his team mates for me.

To be fair, he wouldn't be anywhere near a start if we had all our players fit.

BlackSheep
05-03-2022, 06:19 PM
I’d rather we have some youth a chance than play Wright anymore….

He tries, I’ll give him that but he is nowhere near good enough for this level….

What Maloney sees in him really escapes me.

The only time the likes of Campbell and Wright stand out are when their primary job is covering ground and stopping the opposition play. They must be up there with some of the most limited ‘midfielders’ in possession that I’ve had the misfortune to watch in a Hibs shirt. Not doubting they care and they try but it’s no coincidence that our recent spell of bad results has coincided with these 2 getting more minutes.

Bit in the second half where the ball was switched over to him.

He brought it down ran 5 yards and the boy just moved him out the way, was just sad that most people felt they knew would be the end product.

The drey Wright experiment should be stopped now.

It’s not working, it’s not personal, he’s just not good enough for where we want to go.

I watched him closely too. His confidence is shot to pieces. Pointing at other players rather than wanting the ball. Shouting he'd take a throw in rather than be available to receive. I feel heart sorry for him. His time at Hibs must be an absolute nightmare.
As others have said he's not good enough for Hibs but I'm positive that's because he's so nervous of making a mistake. And of course the boo boys haven't helped. He'll be a good squad player at his next team. Good luck to him.

I think your posts offer nothing to the debate and more often than not seem aimed at provoking a response for your own entertainment.

Disagree with what I say by all means, but I’ve got more exciting things to do with my time than trying to provoke a reaction from a bunch of strangers on the internet.

My post was deadly serious, I feel a lot more sorry for us paying our cash to watch that level of player than I do for a player who is probably getting quite well paid to do (or not do) a good job. None of that means I boo, or support the booing, of him though.

Done awrite against the smellies the other week but normal service resumed.

He runs about like a heidless chicken, other players look too afraid to pass to him unless they absolutely have to.

Has a Morton > Falkirk > Stranraer > Wealdstone career path look about him.

Northernhibee
07-03-2022, 01:04 PM
I think he perpetually looks like a player being played out of position. His defensive qualities are a lot better than what he offers going forward. Agree that I think his time is up at Hibs but I do wonder if he'd be better placed elsewhere on the pitch.

I’m not sure I’d even go as far as saying he’d be a half decent right back because I think he’d be poor there as well. I would agree though that given his attributes and weaknesses that it would potentially be his best position imo

I was shocked when Ross offered him a one year extension last summer. Really want it to work out for him but hasn't and never will.

Frustrating thing about Drey is he has shown in flashes what he can do (Dundee United & Celtic games this season) but very, very few and far between. Thought he'd have kicked on after the Celtic game but back to square one.

Get rid.

I would never boo one of our players but feel entitled to criticise when it's justified.

Drey Wright is a terrible footballer. Whether it's down to lack of confidence or not he's miles off being anywhere near good enough to play to the level I expect from someone at Hibs.

I can't recall him ever having a good game? His form has been so bad at Hibs that when he is mediocre he gets credit for 'doing OK'.

If I were on subs bench behind him I'd jack.

I'm still of the opinion it's a confidence thing with Drey. I remember seeing him at St Johnstone and he just doesn't look nearly the same player. He's playing against the same players, so he should still be capable of doing the things he was, but he's not even attempting things on the ball currently. A wee tap in or something would be ideal for him and us right now. Maybe give him the boost he needs.

Can you really put nearly 2 season's worth of indifferent performances down to a lack of confidence? He scored early on V the Huns for us - never kicked on after that. Was given a standing ovation last week v Celtic - then 2 poor performances against the bottom 2 teams in the league followed....

If he didn't get confidence form those two games when would he ever get it?

:agree:

It’s in everyone’s best interests for Drey Wright to turn around his performances.

I just don’t think there’s a hope in hell of it happening. As you said, he scored a goal, it made no difference. He got a standing ovation last week, it made no difference. He’s had a significant upturn in the minutes he’s getting on the pitch, giving him a chance to really show what he can do, if anything it’s just consolidated the fact he’s absolutely miles from being good enough.

There’s not many players I can think of who I can say with such certainty that once he’s gone he won’t be back to haunt us and there’s not many Hibs players I can think of that have had so many minutes and been so consistently poor.

We have a cracking winger on loan at Dundalk , who is playing out of his skin . Not sure on the rules of recalling him early but if it’s allowed, surely a no brainier. I’d never boo a Hibs player but Wright on Saturday was very poor and non existent in any attacking play .

Took the ball forward well, some nice passes into players in the box and defended really well.

He can be really happy with how he played today.

Yup, really think the fans need to back him for a few weeks and let him get a run of games under his belt. There’s a player in there.

He is clearly a player with good technical skills who 1. hasn't found a position and 2. has atrocious self-confidence right now, not helped by the fans' attitude to him (and I include myself in that).

Really good performance today and he's earned his place in the team at Pittodrie.

Sorry, but if we plan to win cups and play in Europe, Drey Wright is nowhere near good enough to play for Hibs.

I wouldn't boo him or any Hibs player, but this boy is not at the level required. Shaun has done everything he can to boost the confidence of Drey, but he melts under pressure. Drey Wright playing for Hibs is at the absolute pinnacle of his career, when he is simply a decent Championship player.

Well done Drey. Looked fit and hungry and always offered his team mates a pass. It will be interesting to see if he gets better now he is getting a run in the team. Did very well on the left considering Motherwell doubled up on him as Mueller was usually nowhere to be seem

I think that Mueller as well as other players is struggling to shake off the Covid.

Sorry, but if we plan to win cups and play in Europe, Drey Wright is nowhere near good enough to play for Hibs.

I wouldn't boo him or any Hibs player, but this boy is not at the level required. Shaun has done everything he can to boost the confidence of Drey, but he melts under pressure. Drey Wright playing for Hibs is at the absolute pinnacle of his career, when he is simply a decent Championship player.

Yes, but give the lad some credit. He was very good today. He, today, showed that he can be a very effective player in the right team. I agree, I want to see better players than Drey Wright playing for Hibs next season, but on the basis of today he's much better than a decent Championship player. Drey's problem is that he's been very poor for much of his Hibs career, which is why I don't want him at Hibs next season. But give the guy credit for what was a very good performance.

I thought he was decent enough today. He had all the space in the world in the first half (same as Jasper on the right) but didn’t really make it count for me. Whatever Motherwell changed at half time stopped that in the second half.

He was good today. One run in particular in the first half was very good. Travelled nearly all of the pitch I think.

Even though he was playing in the premier league when we signed him, yet more rubbish from the experts on here

Hmmm, were St. Johnstone in the Championship when he was voted their player of the year??

Once again, someone from the internet knows more about football than our manager

Done well today and might continue putting in decent performances till the end of season as he is in the shop window now for other clubs. Not a dig at him but might just give him a extra push in confidence when going forward with the ball.

Thought DW played well today and unlucky not to score.

Definitely a big improvement since Boo-gate, either as a reaction to the fans or to the support he got from SM.

Looked like a football player today. Great shift, one great pass in particular and good effort on goal although he did give the ball away a bit too much.

I’ve backed Drey Wright for awhile now. I’m glad he’s performing better and getting the support any Hibs player should be getting when they pull on a jersey and play for the club.

The criticism of him as a player said more about the mentality of the typical Hibs Da on here and on Twitter than it did about him.

He’s doing just fine now. The fans are beginning to appreciate him.

I don't think Wright has the attacking quality we need, but his work rate and discipline have never been in doubt.

Under normal circumstances anyone who saw him play today would say he had a good game, including getting forward with some decent crosses and even a couple of shots, but when you consider that he did so in an unfamiliar position as the emergency LWB then it was even better.

Amazing that some on here won't admit it when the guy plays well, he was also excellent against Celtic a few weeks back - certainly wasn't a weak link today. Very good performance and keeps his place for next week

Take a bow Drey, you had a fine game today.

Aye I thought he had a really good game today,some people sadly just won't give him the credit he deserves.
Well played Drey 👍🏻

I thought he did okay today. Not great, but okay. Not quite sure how some people are saying he was our best player when Jasper, Melkerson, and Newell clearly contributed more. But hopefully Drey can push on and keep improving.

I think it’s a bit to do with him being so poor for much of his time that a decent game is now considered to be really good. That’s not really a dig at him because I thought he was decent today. Probably should have made more of the space he had first half but he got up the park well.

He was very good first half and like a lot of our players, not as good in the second. A vital player for us today though.

I don't think he's ever been as poor as some make out - mediocre yes, poor no. I have seen some huddies in Hibs shirts in my time as a supporter and Wright is simply not in that league.

Some fans get entrenched in their own opinions though - and it's these types who are refusing to acknowledge the evidence in front of their own eyes of decent Drey Wright performances. These folk need to get a grip on reality - we have an injury list the length of Easter Rd and squad players like Wright are going to get game time. I'm just thankful that Wright appears to be rising to the challenge and his performances have been improving with more game time - no thanks to the gormless fuds who boo him.

Sums up his luck today. Scores and is possibly our best player first 15 minutes and then get injured and teh whole team falls apart. His chasing their defenders was a massive part of our early success in the game. No idea what job Josh Campbell was given but the game completely changed when Drey went off.

Drey has been absolutely fine for weeks now. Some of the constant abuse he still gets is baffling. Glad he got his goal today.
