Sean Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 (edited) It's everything basically. He's shit at everything except winning headers to nowhere. Edited March 17, 2022 by Sean Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Zaius Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Wood is horrific but I'd still have him ahead of Gayle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khalidao Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 The way he decided to awkwardly head the rebound from Begovic save on Bruno was hilarious. He could've easily controlled it with his chest and slotted home for the 0-1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfcastle Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Never thought he was going to be good so nothing's changed and can't be too angry. The most I expected was 5 headed goals and a threat from set-plays crosses and since we seem to only have Shelvey and Trippier capable of taking a set play or crossing I feel like I can't even judge him on the one thing I felt he'd bring to the table.

OoOGazOoO Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 I haven't watched tonight's game, but it's clear as day the guy is absolutely horrendous. I actually hope he is sold in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps from a pressing and defensive point of view he is more adept than Gayle, but anything to do with actually going forward he is miles off. He's really shocking. Not even mad at the guy because it's not his fault he was brought here, but my word is he poor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gayle lost a big chunk of his pace after his muscle injuries in early 2017. He's now 5 years older and has proven throughout his career he's not a PL level goalscorer. Wood is incredibly poor and if he's near any PL matchday squads next season then something will have gone very wrong in the summer. Stay up, sell him. And sell Gayle too.

Ronaldo Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Not a massive Wilson fan but he’s levels above the alternatives. We need to spend a massive chunk of our ‘budget’ on 2 strikers this summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantail Breeze Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 If you played Gayle for 90 minutes for 16 consecutive games, he’d more than likely have achieved more than 1 goal and 0 assists like. They’re both shite, but Wood is diabolical. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Just four more games before we switch in Wilson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 I can understand the argument that he's good at holding the play so others can join in but he's not a finisher and he massively lacks the ability to put the ball either side of the keeper with power or precision, I would potentially try Willock up front against Spurs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillingtonMag Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 He has to start until Wilson is fit, hopefully he improves and gets a couple more goals before end of the season but shouldn't start a game next season if we get things right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 My expectations of him weren't particularly high when we signed him but my god he's came nowhere even close to them! I honestly don't know what he brings to the party. He's slow, his finiahing is poor and for all people go on about his hold up play all I see is the ball bouncing off his straight back to the opposition. Yes he wins headers, you'd expect him to at 6'3" but there's more than that to Premier League football these days. Basically a poor mans Billy Whitehurst and in hindsight we'd have been better off keeping that £25m towards the summer budget and just playing Gayle. Still, we signed 5 players in January and he's been the only disappointment so that's a good strike rate from Howe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No we wouldn't have been better off just playing Gayle at all complete nonsense we wouldn't have got the wins we have with Gayle in there over Wood.

The Prophet Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 I thought his positioning was quite poor last night and he definitely lost as much as he won in the air. That said, the service to him was pretty poor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
