TheBrownBottle Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 1 minute ago, TRon said: I'm sure I've said it a few times in this thread, but I'm actually shocked how bad a finisher he is. Prior to coming here I had thought he was just a muck and nettles striker who actually put stuff away when he got the chance. Maybe he just scored all his goals against us. In the match thread I said he made Windass look like Messi, and I don't think it's an exaggeration. He’s mind-meltingly bad atm. Every game seems to drain his confidence further - he’s a mediocre centre forward who simply doesn’t fit our game plan, and chucking the bloke on every game just isn’t helping.

bhoywhonder Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 I hope this is the last time I post on this thread. No more excuses, he's just bad from top to bottom. Piss poor. Time to go, his two penalties were great thanks. Remember how he would physically drain the energy from powerful crosses, as if he was skilfully guiding them back into the keeper's arms as a defender? That was a year ago, and he's gotten worse. Get rid. Ta-ra Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theregulars Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 We’ve now had enough of a sample size. There’s no point being a striker if you don’t score goals - he doesn’t even look likely to score goals. He looks petrified to be playing for us. Should have netted at least once against Leeds and ridiculous miss tonight. Nice header for the first goal can’t be denied, but on balance he just doesn’t appear able to score goals at this level. Much like Murphy, it’s best for all parties to move on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superior Acuña Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 I think he was prob right to hit it first time, two defenders were getting behind it, but what a hit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonas Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 He had to have been better elsewhere than he's been for us. Based on what we've seen he wouldn't have made it as far as Leeds or Burnley. Ultra reasonable thing to say would be its not worked out here and isnt going to. Best for all concerned to part way ASAP if at all possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackie Broon Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 I could forgive the miss, it was his all round play and seeming lack of effort that's unforgivable. I'm sure he's really trying, but it just doesn't look like it. The very least that can be expected of him is to physically impose himself on defenders and he's not even doing that.

ElDiablo Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 The miss is one thing, but the worst thing about him is if it's not a physical battle in the air (which he isn't even good at) he wants no part of it. Gets rid of the ball like it's a hot grenade, doesn't seem bothered if it's to a teammate or opposition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancing Brave Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 I really like Chris Wood. I wish he put that chance he had away. Never mind. Don't know why and without any reason or owt like that, I just think he's going to score an important goal for NUFC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Ball just bounces off him. Passes go to opposition, even ones that don't were really inaccurate. That finish was atrocious. Didn't even bobble so can't use that excuse either. This is his job. He gets paid fortunes to kick a football into the net. As others have said, surely we can pick up a better 3rd choice ST instead of him for cheap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhoywhonder Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 While Im shitting on Murphy, can I at least say, this fucker was the worst offender. Front and centre, chance put on a plate... and totally shit his skeets. Nice lad. Shit forward. I'm sure even he agrees after that performance.

NWMag Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Just watched the chance again a few times, Jesus Christ it’s horrendous. watching it live I expected him to miss tbh but I thought it would be saved, how the hell has he managed to make that much of a mess of it?! hopefully now Isak is back we won’t see much of Wood.

geordiesteve710 Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Was brought in (admittedly at a right premium) to do a job which was help keep us up. More than contributed to it and can be thanked for his efforts, but don't want or expect to see him starting many more games for us. As others have alluded to above, when he played for Burnley and Leeds he seemed to be a decent finisher if nothing else, but appearances can be deceptive and in reality he's a bit of a donkey at this level.

Scoot Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 The longer he's here, the more you realise what a desperate buy he was. What exactly is he good at in terms of being a striker/forward? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
