Chris Davies acknowledges that Scott Wright’s recent performances for Birmingham City have made him difficult to overlook.

Wright, a Scottish winger, has made an impression in League One coming off the bench. He was named man of the match in last week’s 4-0 victory over Shrewsbury Town in the Bristol Street Motors Trophy. At The Croud Meadow, Wright scored twice and set up Tomoki Iwata for a goal.

Wright is now a top candidate to start since Davies is expected to rearrange his forward line for Lincoln without Jay Stansfield. Davies, the Blues manager, told BirminghamLive, “He’s been really good.””He has had an influence each time he has performed.

“He has had to wait patiently for his opportunity, but he trains hard every day, and he was the main contributor in that first half against Shrewsbury.”

This season, Wright, 27, has started more Champions League games than League One. Before joining Blues at the end of the summer transfer window, he had started two Scottish Premiership games for Rangers.

Wright and other players will get a lot of playing time because the FA Cup is scheduled to start in two weeks and the Blues are still in the running for the Bristol Street Motors Trophy.

“Scott is really pushing for a chance to play more,” Davies continued. They will do, as I’ve told a couple of them who didn’t have a lot of gaming time at first. He will be among those who have played a lot of football, as they will discover when the season is over.

Despite being a winger by trade, Wright can inflict harm in the center thanks to his role in the Blues’ system. Wright’s ability to carry the ball has become more prominent in recent weeks, as he drifts in from the right.

Davies, who coached Celtic for three years in Scotland, remarked, “I think he’s good in that position. I remember him playing off the right when I was in Scotland.” “I wanted four wingers, although Scott can play as a number 10 and can do a little bit of both. Emil Hansson and Ayumu Yokoyama are more obviously off the left.

“He’s a little different; he can actually dribble and run with the ball in small spaces, so I think he’s pretty good playing wide and popping inside to the pockets of spaces to turn.” He can drive through spaces, but a lot of others need to pivot and hand it off.

Because he is so quick, he adds a fresh dimension to our game and is a highly entertaining player. He has impressed me; all he needs to do is keep up the good work.”
