Chris Wood (now playing for Nottingham Forest)

[TRon]

The thing is, when we bought him, no one was under any illusions he had any significant skills, we just thought he's a guy who could put the ball in the net.

 

He didn't for us though, but not going to complain, we did well enough with him in the side, and we got a good chunk of our money back.

[Gawalls]

The first season he played for us - we won 12 out of 19 games and he started 15 of those, that’s what I’ll remember him for.

[TBG]

[LiquidAK]

Told yas he was underrated 

[M4]

Good for him, fucking hell

 

He looked (we made him look, whichever) particularly mobile.

[Ronson333]

Two of his three goals were quality finishes. Where was all this when he played for us ?

[The College Dropout]

Never had an issue with Chris Wood. Always tried his best. Limited but at least he was always fit and was a target man. We couldn’t turn down the money cos of FFP but I liked him as a bench option. 
 

Weirdly happy for him.

never had an issue with him either. Apparently a cracking lad and leader in the dressing room too. 

[Wolfcastle]

Defended him when he was here. Never said he was great but could see the benefit of having a focal point as opposed none (which was the option most of the time and as we know once again its better to have fit strikers than unfit good ones). He was a good lad by all accounts, didn't hide and an honest pro. And as if being a far better player and helping to achieve special things here would spare you being slaughtered by some of our number.

Pleased for him, never gave less than 100% here, be great if he can find a bit of form at Forest.

Southampton away was a lovely goal.

He was also someone I felt very confident about from the penalty spot, think because he looked so confident himself. Which is extremely rare with us even with the likes of Beardsley, Cole, Lee an Solano.

[Gallowgate Toon]

2 fucking great finishes. 

[Ronson333]

Right do Liverpool have any of our ex players? If so I’m putting a bet on.

[mouldy_uk]

God damn he did us dirty today  absolutely gash for us and then he does that

[midds]

Cracking hat-trick tbh, second goal was mint. We made it very easy for him but he still took his goals well, fair play, got to just take it on the chin sometimes. 

[Pilko]

Furious that he never looked anywhere near as good a finisher in our shirt but even more furious at how good we made him look today.

[OpenC]

Played really well today, was never going to emerge from the shadow of the price tag when he was here. If it'd been anyone but us I'd have been delighted for him like. Not celebrating is always a touch of class as well.

[Big Geordie]

As said before, he was brought in to do a particular job, which he did (help keep us up) He then moved on - with no ill will from most decent Mags. He's not as bad a player as some make out.

Around the same time last year i sat on the same seat i sat in today and watched him miss chance after chance for us against Leeds for it to end 0-0, today he shows up and plays like fucking Pele just because he's wearing a different shirt. he can fuck off like

bring him hyem

[Ben]

Pleased he didn't celebrate wildly after he was perfectly entitled to, shows integrity, still love that pen he scored for us 

[Ronaldo]

Fair play to him. Showed a lot of class today. It sickens me that the position he was picked out in 3 times is exactly what we need with Isak but it barely ever happens.
