‘We have recruited well and the guys that have come in have played well and scored goals,’ Wright said on his .
‘Martin Odegaard has 14 Premier League goals from midfield, that’s the standard he’s set and he’s got to get love for that.

‘We have to fight and keep going. We believe and will fight until the end.’
