RS Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Will he suit their style of play? Just wondering why they value him when he’s not really done it for us? Perhaps one of the Forest lads will join and give their thoughts? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Good luck to him. He touches his own head when he says touch wood so he deserves immense respect for that. He was a useful option for us and always gave it his best shot. Leaves with some good memories and a fantastic penalty record. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Chris Wood looks like a strong striker that can hold up the ball but he's never been that or close to it. His hold up play is awful and so he isn't really suited to a one striker setup. At Burnley he looked to make runs in behind while Ashley Barnes did all of the hold up play and engaging with defenders. Nottingham Forest have been playing Gibbs-White in behind both strikers Awoniyi and Brennan Johnson, who both look to make forward runs in behind or into the channels. In that regard he'll probably find things easier and more familiar. With Awoniyi out he'll likely start upfront with Brennan Johnson and give them the size and ability to finish with his head they are now missing upfront. I think he'll score some goals there for them the rest of the way, so good luck to him. He came in contributed to us staying up, and hasn't dug his heels in about leaving when the opportunity has come along for us to move him on. Fair play to the guy, seems sound.

Interpolic Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Good luck to him. Played an important role in our resurgence, good pro, seems a sound bloke. Think he was just a bit overwhelmed by the size of the club tbh, and the pressure that comes with that. Reckon he'll get back to his 8-10 goals a season at another PL club that's a bit more low key.

St1pe Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Good luck to him. I think it’s a mistake to let him go unless we have a replacement. I’m assuming the terms of the loan must have been favourable for us financially. Bit mental we’ve got a semi final against Southampton and we’ve shipped him out because he was nailed on to score last them I feel a bit bad for him though - I understand there’s no room for sentiment. He’s played a part since last January and felt he deserved to see out the season given the cup run and fight for a European finish. He’s not great mind.

Exactly this, hasn't bagged loads of goals and has missed a couple of sitters but he's done an alright job, similar to when we had Daryl Murphy, chipped in with an odd goal here and there, came on when needed and ran his socks off. If he's leaving we now only left with 2 strikers so surely a replacement is on its way Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In our position, not sure what more you could ask from a 3rd choice forward. Good luck to him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucasol Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Wish him all the best unless he plays next season against us. Came in, did a job we needed, moved on.

Vast majority of comments are "good lad but pretty shit, did a job but now is surplus to requirements". I don't see that as hatred. He's a very limited player (or has performed as such for us), and it's best for all concerned if he moves on. Good luck to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
