TRon Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 I do fancy him for a goal tonight. Two games under his belt, and a week's warm weather training. He should be starting to get a feel for how we play now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully on a through-ball so I can stop hearing about how Wood isn't able to get on the end of any through-balls (even though most of his goals are scored with his feet and not his head).

Sean Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 17 out of his 50 PL goals have been headers. 3 were penalties. A good deal more were tap ins. Getting in behind isn't one of his strengths. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just watched through that videos of his first 50 for Burnley and 11 of them were him running in behind onto through balls, which isn't a bad return for someone playing for Burnley. Some cracking finishes too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 I'll have to give it a watch again. Think I turned it off in disgust at some of his touches half way through tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackie Broon Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Just now, TRon said: I just hope he can still make those runs, Burnley fans seemed to think he's been sluggish this season. He's not had any significant injuries and he's only just 30, he'll have a few years in his legs yet. Other than the addition of Cornet the whole team had gone stale from what I can tell, which is more likely to be the cause than his legs going at 29.

LRD Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Poor effort from him in the first half. He had time and space for the header and could only muster that weak header. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amir_9 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 That was bad, seriously how can you not muster something convincing unmarked from that far Looking a dud so far Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reefatoon Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 really want him to do well and fire in the goals for us, but Christ that was a poor half. Looks awful today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 I’m not at all optimistic about him but he has been fine so far today. Absolutely not his fault that no one is getting nowhere near him when the ball’s in the air and he’s winning it more often than not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 You can't knock him when it comes to aerial duels, he's just lacking an actual strike partner. That effort at goal was dismal though, was like he was playing head tennis in the back garden. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 (edited) That header was honestly like a calm nod back to your own 'keeper like. Needs one to go in soon to give him some fire in his belly. Edited February 8, 2022 by Kid Icarus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amir_9 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 There is no excusing that miss like Tall physical striker unmarked with plenty of space to aim the header at. Same thing in his debut game too close and heads up off. Snap out of it man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
