Chris Wood (now playing for Nottingham Forest)


Recommended Posts

His pressing is actually about as good as it could be. He couldn't have done that any better. 

 

The criticism of him when we have the ball is totally valid though. There's no threat about him at all. There were a couple of crosses that came in yesterday which Wilson would've been on the end of. He's trying his best like so I can't be mad at him.

Before the specs reveal of this trip I had opined that both Wood and BDB have eyesight issues. The way they both can  slightly mistime their headers. They tend to be fine when jumping in a challenge, but free headers are sometimes mistimed.

 

Ive got severe astigmatism in one eye, this prevents me from having binocular vision, so I cant judge distance very well. The brain learns to compensate, and so I still played cricket and football, but I tended to do exactly what Ive noticed them both doing. Just an idea anyway.

 

I thought this as soon as I saw Wood wearing specs.

It all makes sense now.

I've got bad astigmatism to along with a weaker eye due to a punch injury and judging distance is a bastard. Shop windows are a nightmare, the amount of times I've accidentally headbutted a window and shouted ow fuck and the people in the shop to turn and look at me.

Fair play if those are his quotes, he’s got a good attitude 

Agree. Admits he hasn't been at his best (and people can degrade that to suggest even his best isn't good enough if they want) then goes on to say he'll support the team and its progression regardless. 

Good, professional attitude. A cog in the wheel, if you will.

He drops deep to link with midfielder leaving the space behind for the faster wide men. Not a direct threat like Wilson but there is a clear plan and he does his job well. Can't fault him at all today.
