MARK Hughes reckons QPR fans will see the best of Shaun Wright-Phillips now the winger is playing in his preferred position.
The former Manchester City man has been a big disappointment since his multi-million pound switch to Loftus Road in August, while also failing to find the net in 22 appearances.
However, Sparky reckons he can bring the best out of the 30-year-old, who was an England regular during his time under the Welshman at City.
Wright-Phillips returned to his more natural position on the right flank in Saturday's defeat to Wolves, and will get another chance to impress at Blackburn tomorrow.
“I think Shaun's doing okay,” said Hughes. “In fairness I probably haven't been able to play him in his most preferred position, which is wide right.
“I've moved him around, I've played him in the middle and I've predominantly started him on the left. He's got enough ability to be able to adapt so I've been pleased with that.
“But obviously most players will tell you they would ideally play in their preferred position. We've got players coming back that will allow me to do that and Shaun will feel he can have more of an impact.”
One player who is keen to hook up with Wright-Phillips is pal and former City team-mate Nedum Onuoha.
With Luke Young ruled out with a hamstring injury, Onuoha could be used as a makeshift right-back at Ewood Park.
And he insists there's no reason why his mate can't rediscover the form that made him one of the hottest prospects in the country.
Onuoha added: “I've seen him when he was at his absolute peak at City where he scored 12 goals just before he went to Chelsea.
“The thing with Shaun is as a person is that he's very humble and hard working and there's nothing stopping him from being that player again."
