Chris Wood (now playing for Nottingham Forest)

[Guest HTT II]

He’ll average his seasonal PL average by the end of the season with us, i.e. 10 or so PL goals.

It was. Watch it and the right foot drag to make contact. I hate that type of  penalty but they are always given.

I love that type of penalty! When it’s ours ?

Yeah he makes the contact, would be plenty spitting blood if it was at the other end.  GK makes a stupid decision coming out though.

Cracking penalty, he could have had another if ASM had weighted that ball properly at the end (although I think ASM hit a bad shot, not a pass).

Totally but which ever side you're on you know they are always given. Nice to be on the given side for once.

I thought bad shot not pass! Still fooked it up mind ?

Made some great runs 2nd half. Think the pressure of being the only striker has gotten to him a bit, but so pleased he won and then stood up and took the penalty. He'll be a decent option on the bench next season imo. Never the long-term solution, but worth every penny right now.

 

 

 

 

Would like to see Wilson next to him for a few games. Reckon they could create a decent partnership...not that you see many duos upfront these days.

[Newcastle Fan]

One of his better games today, stepped up and did very well to win that Penalty and score from it, hopefully unlike the the last time he scored he can build on this performance and give it another good one next week.

Hope some on here give a bit more respect to wood now.

Needs shifting out and replacing with 2 strikers

Scored twice as many as Balon d'Or nominee Wout Weghorst now...

Has he still only scored that one goal against Brighton's 2nd choice defence?

Love it.

[WillingtonMag]

Over the moon for him some of the comments on here the past week have been embarrassing tbh.

[WarrenBartonCentrePartin]

Dwight Gayle would've scored that penalty twice over.

But then he would be out injured for the next 3 months.

Likeable fella auld Chris Wood and I said when we signed him if we stopped up no matter what he does it was job done

 

However I'd snap anyones hands off for 7 million in the summer

Amazingly he's much better on the deck. He's useless in the air really if you ignore aerial duels stat which is often flicks to nowhere. Actually had some movement tonight and this to me suggests we really need to stop playing hoof ball to him. Get it on the deck and get him making himself available to feet. 

[The Butcher]

Don't like the way he went down for the pen one bit. A classic Harry Kane- looking for the contact shite.

The purist in me agrees with you. 

For this season however, I don't care. Just got to get wins where and how we can.

Not sure if serious, but I'd have been raging if he hadn't left a foot in the onrushing keepers challenge tbh.

 

If the keeper is going to fly in like that he can't expect anything else. Might not be cricket but I don't want us to be the "honest football" standard bearer.

If the keeper is gonna chuck himself about like that then Wood has every right to leave a leg dangling.

WUM surely? I loved the way he used his experience to ensure the contact was made by dragging his heel along the ground. I wouldn't call it diving as such, more experienced and smart thinking.

It's a Vardy special. Get yourself between ball and player and wait for the inevitable foul.
