Wright expects 'big learnings' from Boro thriller

Norwich City midfielder Jacob Wright says the squad will take "big learnings" from Saturday's heartbreaking 4-3 defeat at promotion rivals Middlesbrough.

Wright scored his first goal for the club as the Canaries came from 3-1 down to draw level with Boro before the home side won it 4-3 in stoppage time.

Norwich have won three and lost four of their opening seven matches, and sit 12th in the Championship on nine points.

"There are big learnings to take from it", Wright told BBC Radio Norfolk. "The way we came back in the second half is credit to the boys, the heart and personality we showed to get back in the game.

"If we can take that for the rest of the season throughout the full game not just half a game, its only going to be good for us.

"We're a young squad, but there's plenty of heart in this dressing-room, and plenty of togetherness."

Wright arrived on loan from Manchester City in February 2025, making 15 appearances, before signing a permanent deal last summer for £2.3m.

The 20-year-old been used as a substitute in the Championship this season, with his one start coming in their League Cup win at Cardiff City.

"Its part of modern football to have big squads, using plenty of rotation to keep the freshness and get the output and intensity that we want to play at," he added.

"The boys are all together and will continue to push each other every single day because we are fighting each other for places in the starting eleven and the squad."

The former England youth international will return to his former club at Etihad Stadium in Thursday's EFL Cup third round tie (19:30 BST).

"It will be good to be go back. Its where I came through, and learnt the majority of what I have today," Wright said.

"But I'm there for Norwich, to do business, and hopefully come way with a win. Its going to be a tough game, there's no denying that - but you have to work hard in every match."
