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...

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. He really needs to be fit when our main strikers are out, he's not going to get time when they are available. 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...
Optimistic Nut 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...

STM Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Surprised to see this thread wasn't bumped from Sunday. I know, I know he's shite yada yada but his 10 minutes against Spurs was cracking and helped us see out the game in a comfortable fashion. Won a couple of free kicks, held up the ball etc. Well done Woody lad, same again if we need you please. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiquidAK Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 With any luck he’ll be remembered as someone who came in, did a job in helping keep us up, was a decent way of seeing out a game off the bench in our transitional season into a European team, and then leaves to see out his career as a starter somewhere. Massively unfair to compare him to the likes of Rivière and Xisco imo. He’s obviously limited but grafts and I hope in 10 years or whatever he’s looked back on somewhat fondly as a small part of the start of our real resurgence Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Not 1 single issue with Wood -- last season he was vital in the run-in; this season he scored in the cup game and finally he's done the job needed to close out games each time he's been called upon this season.

Leave Wilson at home. Yep, not only that but let's say we have Wilson playing league games and we want to get Isak in scoring in Europe, in order to leave Wilson at home, we could do with Wood from the bench as a sub or an option. That's not to say we should look to sign other options. That's why Joao Pedro made sense because he's another one who can play in various positions. On the other hand, if someone comes and tries to sign him, we should say thank you very much and let him go. I can see a Fulham or a Bournemouth seeing him as someone who could see them over the line to avoid the drop. Edited October 27, 2022 by STM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A modern day Sheedy/Kilcline that got caught out in the level and speed of resurgence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
