Is it just me or does every touch he takes look like he’s panicking? Every time he got forward his touches were like he was under extreme pressure even though he had a few yards of space. His panicked, heavy, touches soon took that space away mind you...

Unfortunately we have a really weak squad when you look deeper you would really want to clear the decks of;
Wright
Gray
Mcgregor
Stevenson
Hallberg
Mcginn s
Injured players
Allan
Magennis
Mackie
Marciano
Boyle
So we are kind of bare bones players wise .
Unless we through a few young lads on

He either goes on loan to try and build some confidence or we get rid altogether this window please.

Once the Hibs.net barracking brigade get their claws into someone they rarely pause for breath or let go.
Wright played fine last night. Nothing spectacular mind but nothing out of sorts either - but the barracking brigade just cannot help themselves and will find fault where there is none once they have made a player the target for their moans. Bang out of order you sad people - we got a decent result last night so cheer up FFS.

Wright will most likely be moved on sooner rather than later

I will continue to give him my full support as long as he's wearing a green and white jersey. Really hope it clicks for him.

His main attribute appears to be his workrate. I agree that he seems to panic whenever he has the ball
In the second half, just before he was hooked Paul McGinn took a throw in to Wright who was in 10 yards of space. He could have easily taken half a step back and controlled the ball, instead he moved towards it and flicked it on with his head straight to Celtc player, that summed up his night for meLast edited by Partyraiser; 12-01-2021 at 02:01 PM.

For sure - out of the current line up Stevenson, Hanlon, Doidge and Newell have all been the targets of know-nothing whinge-merchants on here.

I just mentioned on another thread about him but I think he’s just playing far far too safe for a winger and he’s lacking confidence.
He also doesn’t look like a winger, he’s giving the sort of performances you’d expect from a centre mid playing there - ie good defensively, keeps the ball well enough and works hard.
He will get a lot more praise from Hibs fans if he stands his full back up, knocks it past him and runs him. Even if it doesn’t come off the intent is there and it will give the defenders something to think about.
If you’re a full back the last thing you want is your opposition running at you, if he plays with his back to you and passes it back to the defence all game, like Wright does, then you’re delighted

He’s not someone who gets me out of my seat every time he gets the ball but I do think the level of criticism he appears to attract is a bit harsh.
Wright definitely looks to be lacking confidence but strangely I prefer the balance of the side when he’s in it.
I can’t defend the individual incident stuff like giving the ball away but his work ethic and positional discipline are an asset in some games.
It would be great if he were to come good but if he looks this nervous with no fans, I hate to think what he’d be like with thousands howling every time he lost the ball.

First half he did ok and worked his socks off. He lacking a bit of confidence I hope he makes it at ER but think he’s finding it a bit tough. Hellberg and Stephen McGinn are in a similar position. Hard working honest pros but probably just not up the level of a top 4 Premiership club within in week out.

This isn't a question specifically about Drey Wright, though it may well be a large part of his problem as well..
Do we have Sports Psychologists working at Hibs?
I've often felt some of our players have mental issues that need to be addressed as much as any lack of talent.

Cheer up, go seek counsellor and spare us...aye, absolutely miserable sentiment to put out there. Where is my relentless negativity?
The way you see it, this will be a negative response to your harmless post!

As it stands, Drey Wright is this season's Josh Vela. He looks like a player whose confidence is completely shot and who hasn't been able to step up to the increased expectation in performance levels. He doesn't look like an out and out winger. He doesn't look comfortable in central midfield. He doesn't look like he's desperate to get the ball and go and do some damage to the opposition. The only good thing for Drey Wright so far is that he hasn't had to endure thousands of people screaming at him from the stands.
Does all that mean he's a bad player? Not necessarily. But, really, the only person who can change the perception of the majority of Hibs fans is Drey himself. If he gets further opportunities in the first team, he has to take them and show us what he can do. If he doesn't then he's unlikely to be a Hibernian player for much longer. Over to you, Drey.

I'm not seeing him short of confidence, I'm seeing a player who just can't beat a man with pace, he's not that quick.
I'm seeing a player who can't beat a man with a trick, or a bit of skill, I'm just seeing a player who does work his socks off but the rest of his game, the bits we want from a wide man, like crosses, shots at goal and trickery to set up a chance for others is just not there.
We got him for free, I'd be very upset if we'd paid money for him.
He's part of the squad that has us 4th, hopefully he comes onto a game soon, or he will be dropped down the pecking order, maybe Cadden when he signs will be the player to do that?
