Max Wright

Quoted from acko338

Save Max as an impact sub rather than hurting him as a 90 minutes player that could injure him again !!

Whilst that probably makes sense in the short-term, at some point he’s going to have to prove himself physically capable of starting games. Clubs, not least Town, aren’t going to hand out decent contracts for the equivalent of four or five games a season, no matter how good the performances are.

It’s a big half-season for Max. I hope it comes off for the lad.

Both Holloway and Hurst have been guilty of that over the past 18 months.

Max wouldn’t be with us if he could stay fit he’s far to good for this level

Based on what exactly? All of his standout seasons came at levels below this, he had one season in L2 where he made more than 5 appearances but so did Montel Gibson and nobody is saying he's too good for this level or the level he plays at now. He's not even proven at this level because he never actually plays except as an impact sub for the last 15 minutes.

Based on what I’ve seen watching max since he was about ten , injury as clearly hampered his progression as a pro footballer.

He's a quality player.  Sousa huffed and puffed and looked exciting but ultimately he didn't create anything.  Max put in the perfect ball and created a goal.  To accommodate McAtee and Wright, I think we'd need a different formation, with McAtee upfront alongside Taylor, Maguire Drew and Wright on the wings, and Harry and Fox in midfield (assuming Hunt goes back to Sheffield).  I'd be happy to stick with yesterday's back 4.  If that side clicked and stayed fit, we have an exciting team.

Everyone knows how much we've missed McAtee but he isn't a front man, he needs to play off a front man. For that reason, Maguire Drew and Sousa probably fit Hurst's preferred system better than Max who is an out and out winger.

Isn't Taylor a 'front man'?

I saw enough evidence during his season long loan at Boston that he was the best player by far in that division. What has happened since then really is a shame because he's so direct and plays with purpose. You only need to look at the impact he's had having played very little this season.

Quoted from LondonMariner43

Londonmariner43 suggested he plays up front with Taylor.

Max had a run of games at Scarborough and Boston where he didn't seem to be hampered too much by injury (unless I'm misremembering things).

I think we all know he's better than mid-table Conference, but then there are a lot of players playing below their level due to no fault of their own, and plenty punching above their weight due to mates in high places.

That's life, I guess. Hard to know if anyone truly belongs at the level they play. The argument against that, of course, is that everyone is exactly where they deserve to be, simply because that's where they are.

In the same way that the league table never lies.
