JumpersForGoalposts Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Clearly would never wish harm to anyone, but his injury really doesn't hinder us at all. Playing ANYONE else up front rather than this donkey is a good thing. Even *shudder* a false 9 if needs be. Maybe even Willock, as an attempt to get something out of him, and let someone else have a go at CM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonesJones Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Thoughts are with the All Whites. "Home fans were left wanting when Newcastle United striker Chris Wood was substituted just after the half-hour with a rib complaint, leaving New Zealand without their talismanic striker to aim for."

BoSelecta Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Wood playing the last 15 or 20 mins when we’re 2-0 up (if we ever get there) helps keep our starting forwards fit. As funny as it is to bash him, it’s a loss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzza Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Yes, i agree, he is great to bring on and defend a lead; he presses well, wins a lot in the air and helps out at defending corners set-pieces. When you want to win a game he offers very little. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Geese Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 I think we need to remember when Woody used to play against us, he was a handful and caused problems for defenders with his strength and his heading ability. Granted his heading has been deplorable for us, wether that's down to confidence or trying to hard, i don't know, however I do know the lad does have very good heading ability when he's on song. Give him time and we need to stop the groans if he loses the ball, the lad needs backing and i'm confident he will become a very valuable player.

buzza Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 I honestly think our expectations have been pumped up so much that we are now moaning about anything and everything. We need to take a step back and a deep breath and be thankful we will be no where near relegation... and however long it may take, the only way is up and onward to europe! Patience all!

We have none of our strikers available, and the one person who can fill in at a push is also injured. I'm a little worried tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Chris Wood ever becomes a ‘very valuable player’ to us our general plight will basically have to be worse than ever before in our recent history.

It would be reasonable to suggest, given the change in our fortunes from jan to June 22, that he was a "valuable" player during that period. Eddie Howe thought so.

Eddie Howe thought so. I did too, tbh. He wouldn’t be close to one of the better number 9s I’ve seen for us, but I still think he did a job up front. We wouldn’t have got the same points tally with Gayle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 I forget that this lad plays for us, do we think we’ll try and sell him in January now that we have Isak? If we want to recoup even the smallest fee it feels like we’ll have to sell in January or the summer but the only buyers I can imagine are in the championship and not able to match wages. Therefore I imagine the most likely scenario is that he runs his contract all the way through and picks up a few minutes here and there and gets maybe 60 mins in some cup games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 I think we need 3 strikers, so I don't think he'll go without being replaced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 I reckon a Championship club aiming for promotion will take him on loan with an option for about £6m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
