He won a fair few I thought and had to come deep for the ball too often. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 "Great feet for a big man" is the classic cliche, but no signs that he has them so far. If anything, its been bouncing off him. He did contribute though, so let's give it time. I don't think he looks very fit and may be carrying a knock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Merse Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Thought he was ok - won loads of flick ons that ASM was getting onto - as a back up striker he is enough but obviously Wilson is the main man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nine Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Thought he played decently tbh, defo lacking in front of goal mind. Might be a confidence thing. His general play to link the attacks from long balls was decent, couple nice little flick ons and held it up well when we needed to release some pressure.

Jordan Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 His touch is so poor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Zaius Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 The fact that he's got 3 goals this season in a Burnley side that play to his every strength says it all. Stop gap job like but sooner Wilson is back the better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillingtonMag Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Said in the match thread but Wilson has also had games like that this season where he's went missing and has contributed very little. Give him a chance and see in 5 games or so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
number9shirt Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I'd rather we had Wood up front for the last 2 games than nobody, that said he looks like the worst panic buy in Premier League history. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Hopefully he's just unfit and might gain a yard once he's up to speed. I'm clutching like, but what the hell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Didn’t see enough from him, I know he didn’t get many opportunities but I hope we manage to involve him more from here on out as he was a bystander for almost all the match and when he did get a touch it was poor Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidAK Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Thought he looked ok to be honest, held it up well. Will take a few games to get to know his new teammates and get on the same rhythm, but no issue with him as a backup striker for now. Definitely need to bring in an upgrade though given Wilson’s injury record. If he starts for us for the rest of the season he’ll score 3-5 imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Looks exactly like you'd expect a 30 year old striker signed from Burnley to look. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
worthy Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 The thing that gives me a sour taste is 25 million and 80k on this lump. I mean it's nothing but at the same time we will never be able to offload him for the 2 years, denting in to our FFP budget Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I don't think we would've looked any worse today if we had played Gayle up top. I think this guy is poor and £25m for him is insane. Suppose if he scores a few and it keeps us up it's money well spent? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segun Oluwaniyi Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Very odd to come here and levy criticism towards Chris Wood, tbh. Guy has not even been at the club 10 days, but has come in and played 180 minutes right away at a time where the alternative was Dwight Gayle or no striker. Club has gained 4 points in his 10 days contrasted against 11 total in the five prior months of the season. Even a seasoned Premier League player like Wood will need to adjust to a new team. Hope is for more from him, but no problem thus far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I thought was alright, he wins loads of duels. Also thought ASM seemed to be trying to cross more, which was interesting to see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what you guys can see in a man that is on the wrong side of his 30s and in the worst form in PL of his career. But please I want to know so I can get om the same train, what are you guys seeing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LV Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Shit tonight and the last game. But he’s clearly off the pace and has just joined. Not the answer going forward but we need to give him time and he’ll do a job while Wilson recovers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
