Paper Talk: Wright salutes strike duo

Last updated : 05 September 2004 By Manchester Evening News.
Summer signing David Wright has been quickly impressed with the dynamic duo whose goals have piloted Paul Jewell's team into top spot in the Championship.

Wright believes they have no match outside the top flight. He said: "They're definitely the best centre forward partnership at this level.

"We are hoping they can stay fit all season, keep on getting the goals and get us promoted.

"Both players have the pace that allows us to go forward quickly into attack. They also have the ability to set each other up.

"This is great for any front two.

Success

"Every side wanting success needs good strikers and we've got the very best.

"They've already done well and I believe we're definitely good enough to achieve promotion.

"But we've got to keep this run going and remain focused.

"As players, we know we have to keep performing and if we do we'll be up there.

"I thought at the start of the season we would be challenging because of the squad we have.

"There's real determination and ambition throughout the club.

"We've started well but we are all well aware that this has to be maintained."
