Give him a full pre-season, without a relegation battle running alongside, and he'll be a good contributor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly think he could be better than he was last season. I do think we'll need to use him a bit differently though, I don't think his hold up and link up play is good enough for him to play as a lone striker in that 4-3-3 system we used most of last season.

toontownman Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Expect things to be quiet for the next little bit as suggested in the press. Sure we will get our rumour of the day, every day, but I think Ekitike is still on the table if his agents sort themselves out. Think we are seeing how the market it is with the RW and strikers. Clearly we like Diaby and Raphinha but they might have to come later in the window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consortium of one Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 (edited) Wood didn't set the world on fire for a number of reasons. Still the club stabilized it's form and impressively pushed forward without him bagging goals. I think, given the same run in a similar situation this year, that he could score 4 to 6 goals. Hopefully it doesn't come to that. I think the plan is to sign a young forward and play him and Wood in cup games and sub for Wilson to reduce his risk of injury. We had no one after Wilson last year, no one. Still a long way to go in this window. Edited June 28, 2022 by Consortium of one Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlingcrofty Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 I think we’ll get a striker, a RW and a CM and that’ll be us done for incomings after Botman. Got two months to bring in three players. Main focus now has to be outgoings. Need to shift Gayle, Ritchie, Clark, Fernandez, Hendrick, Manquillo, Darlow etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Not sure how badly we need to shift people. Worst comes to worst we can just swallow their wages and leave them out of the squad. Not what we want of course, but we shouldn’t allow it to limit incomings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wood's only job next season will be to provide cover if and when Wilson gets injured. Hopefully we'll have someone in before then who will put him down to 3rd choice as I still think we are bringing in another striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Howe a ‘we set up this way and let the opposition cope with it’ kind of manager, or a ‘different formations and tactics for different opposition’ type? If latter then Wood may still be a sometimes starter (all based on Eddies’s rating of him). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
