Grant doesn't seem to have the legs to play midfield and looked completely out of it when played in midfield. He looks far better suited in his usual role wide of a front 3, coming in on his left peg. Hopefully if he gets a decent run now he will start to show what he is capable of.
Wright hasn't got a great touch, but his contribution is underrated, he does bring some much needed physicality and bite that we have missed in previous seasons. His goals have been a bonus but his best work for us is when he is making strong runs into the box, putting the opposition players under pressure and winning tackles high up the pitch. His game and licence to push right up has suffered with the loss of Walker as the anchor.
