geordie_b Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 We looked like we had no idea how to involve him in open play (Or he didnt have the ability to do what was asked) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 First game and all but absolutely shocking and not reassuring any of the concerns I had about this signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our attacking play is really disjointed and doesn’t make much sense at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reefatoon Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Don’t think it is all down to him though. No matter who plays striker for us they always look isolated and poor. Something fundamentally wrong with us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingArthur Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 He really has no support next to him. I dont think he will suit in a lone striker role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I get the feeling we've signed him without a plan to play towards him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Signing him with a plan to play toward him is grim enough. The alternative doesn't bear thinking about Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Looked just as isolated and uninvolved as Wilson did playing in this system under this manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I found it worrying that he was Howe's 'first choice' tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I know I said I'd be suprised if his legs had gone at 30, but after today I think I may have been wrong like Hopefully just an off debut and he hits his stride but he looked lethargic and offered nowt as a target man either.

mighty__mag Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Be really interested if someone could get an accurate stat for today's game, on delivery into the box. It felt like there were tons, and interested to see how many Wood won and turned into attempts? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaqen Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 With Jonjo and Longstaff in midfield the last thing we needed was another immobile lump. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Difficult to form an opinion after one match but first impressions weren't great. Battled hard enough but thought his movement was poor and he didn't really give their defence anything to worry about Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Poor debut, might improve with more time here but his lack of any pace is worrying, he was running round like an oil tanker today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OoOGazOoO Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I've not seen the match today, but the comments about him haven't exactly surprised me. It just seems the club pressed the panic button with Wilson being out for a sustained period. I don't blame them for doing it, but we all knew that Chris Wood wasn't going to the answer to our problem, and at 30 and costing £25m quid, whilst we triggered the release clause, we have had our pants pulled down on this one.

Decky Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 If we go down he could be massive for us next year. Keep him and Wilson and we should have plenty of goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 First half I thought there was the odd glimpse. Worked the channels well a couple of times. Got on the end of scruffy, not even half chances and put himself about. Second half, along with the rest of the team. He looked absolutely clueless and useless. Not like he gets any service and we create absolutely fuck all. But it seemed like we were unsure on how to try and get the ball to him and so did he.

He was isolated and he's neither technical nor fast enough (slow as fuck) to do anything himself. Piss Poor! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
