Kid in the Riot Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 1 hour ago, Missionary said: Has always played on the left side for us. Interesting. That would suggest we won't be going to a back 3 as Hordur would be on the left, Flint in the middle and so Wright would have to go on the right.

One Team In Keynsham Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 Comment about Wright from a friend of mine who is a PNE season ticket holder: "best centre half for us Not the tallest but good tackler, not bad on the deck and would say he is a 7 or 8 out of 10 every week. Pity he has left to chase the cash " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mortis Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 Evening all , I think you will all be delighted to have Bailey at your club both on and off the pitch , he's been a tremendous servant to us over the last eight years and not many players make 200 + first team appearances and will go with any sensible Preston fans best wishes as he gave it his all every game I saw him play summed up by his superb performance in his farewell game at Burton last week , the reaction at the end told us fans present his end had come and he's joined a great club , beautiful city and I have no doubt he will become a real City favourite He is a whole hearted tough tackling centre half who needs to play on the left side at CH and has the ability of being in the right place at the right time and has gained us many a point with a last ditch tackle / block and I doubt you will ever see anything less than 100% , he is superb in the air for a relatively small centre half at a tad over 6 foot I would think , he's got a good engine , excellent turn of pace but the areas that hold him back from being a Premier League CH would be he is prone to giving away free kicks in dangerous areas and the odd red card / given away penalty but his game is about aggression to a degree but with age / continued coaching he will improve , his distribution is pretty average and hasn't from the games I have seen improved too much over the years but the positives outweigh the negatives and if he was on a 3 year remaining contract in the current market then I think Bailey would be a £2 Million pound player and likely to continue to grow as a player and we will miss him , superb person off the pitch and I can state that personally and will get a superb reception at Deepdale by the vast majority and will be a crowd pleaser at Ashton Gate ..... , he had decided a good few months ago he wanted a new challenge and I wish him all the luck and we didn't realise his dream of top flight football and I would be delighted to see him in the Prem in forthcoming seasons in the red of BCFC ....

I thought he was 6 ft. 1 hour ago, cynic said: 5'9" - where the hell did that come from ? He's over 6'. 1 hour ago, TRL said: Soccer base Yes, I did get it from soccerbase. I was curious as on the official site the club made a point of saying Djuric is 6ft 6in and Hegeler is 6ft 4in, but made no reference to Wright's height. Then in his interview Wright says: "I am quite versatile, obviously I'm not the tallest of centre halves which sometimes can work in your favour and sometimes can't." I did not check any other statistical sites so if it turns out that he is 6ft then apologies for the confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanatopia Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 Easily the most readable post from an away fan on OTIB in many a year; thank you Mortis. Look forward to both our teams playing in the Prem because one of these days it will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redmeanie Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 I think he'll partner flint in back 2. At least in the beginning. I think they'll initially rest maggs, MA interview admitting they didn't expect him to have to play so many games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
