Papavasiliou Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Everything else aside he just needs to be hitting the target more. We need to make these little chances count and heading straight at the keeper or reet up in the air every time he gets a good chance is killing us.

Good footballer. Wood however is awful man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thiago Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Barring him scoring a bicycle kick or doing something outrageously bad my final thought on him is this - he's done largely what we've asked, and I think from now until the summer he will be the dead horse that people flog when we lose or play poorly because of what he can't do. Everyone in this thread knows why we bought him, the predicament we were in. His game won't change drastically under Howe nor will it improve with more training because he's 30. I'd rather have his bouncy ball first touch than Dwight Gayle so good luck to him until Wilson feels ready. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 I just hope we don’t do what we did with Gayle 2-3 years ago and miss the chance to cash in for a decent fee while he still has a bit of standing. Either this summer or January we should be looking for at least half of what we paid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HTT II Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 (edited) I think he will see out his contract and probably leave on a free, he’s not the best player at all, but has contributed and still will, ideally we upgrade massively in the summer on almost all the current starters.

TRon Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 I was switching through the Sky sports channel yesterday and there was a piece showing Ian Wright's goals down the years. Even though we are going back decades, some of the finishing was out of this world. And then I watched Wood against Everton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Wright’s finishing was of the highest order, an underrated player IMO who was unlucky in that there was so many good forwards around him in that era for England where he didn’t get as many caps as he should of. He’s such a likeable bloke as well and I love his back story, top man is Wrighty! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I knew he was good, but some of those goals.....wow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing comes from the right flank and that only leaves Fraser on the left. He showed what he can do with that great ball from Shelvey but I don't recall him receiving any other crosses of that quality His movement might not be helping this.

He’s scored 1 in 9 in Championship so not like the goal threat would have been any different, and I doubt he’d have contributed to the same sort of pressing game.

Ste Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 I think we will improve on our wingers in the summer window and Wood will provide a decent option to us next season. For all of our wingers running and pressing, they’re not creative at all, aside ASM who will never be the player to cross with any regularity. I think out of everyone in the squad, Wood has missed Trippier the most. Yes we overpaid, and he had a bad game at Everton, but he has contributed to our upturn in form and probable survival.

STM Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 If someone is willing to offer us anything above 12m, we should cash in. Otherwise, he will be a reliable 3rd choice behind Wilson and someone new. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abacus Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Having played almost constantly since signing for us, if Wood plays for all NZ's games, it's a pretty crammed international break. Fiji today (21st), New Caledonia (24th), a probable qualifying semi final (27th), and then final (30th). Fine, it's not exactly against top level opposition, but it still sounds a bit knackering.

astraguy Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Since joining #nufc Chris Wood has Most headed duels won. 2nd in tackles made in the opposition half. 11th in pressures applied in oppositions half. Most distance covered by a striker. Also he is only averaging 1.3 chances per game. Its unfair to judge him on goals scored Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 It’s where the ‘Carroll wouldn’t have been any worse’ talk should end though. My memories of Carroll’s second spell other than winning stuff in the air is literally bumbling along falling over, giving away clumsy fouls. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
astraguy Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Here's a question for ya..take out Wilson's goals (mainly pens I believe ?) Do you think he could do what wood is for us? Be interesting to see if they play together Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
