Whether they can kick straight or not is another issue, but I suspect over the last couple of years the only thing keeping Wright in that role was experience and work ethic, the kids are gathering experience quickly. Kerridge is now a wiser head and has always had the work ethic.
Do not be too quick to write them off as replacements in a Wright type role, especially young SoJ!
I was an unabashed fan of Wright, but if we're going to improve, we need to go one better than him - i.e Matty Wright with fuel injection, turbo chargers and after burners. At least that should be the aim. I have no faith that Kerridge or SoJ will be better than Wright. The fact that they may be a tad faster than him, or younger, is not the issue.
