I'm sure Stavely and Co's hearts are in the right place but they've fucked up just about everything so far when it comes to incoming personnel. We've signed 2 players in 2 weeks.

Stottie Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 First game, so he doesn't deserve to be judged on this given what we created for him. Even if time is running out and we need wins NOW. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St. Maximin Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 I know he’s a big lad but I get the impression he’s a poacher mainly. Leeds fans tell me he didn’t offer much in general play, but at least knew where the goal was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mighty__mag Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Just watched a bit of this back. I noted Wood decided for much of the second half, to go and play in midfield. Bizarre. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 One factor in signing a player, especially a forward, is that it gives the fans a lift also. Unless the forward is a player of the calibre of Chris Wood. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Must be difficult for him when our tactics are "get the ball to ASM as quickly as possible and hope he provides some front foot attacking fret", given that ASM is not an out and out winger, and crosses the ball as a last resort.

If he's bought in as a target man, he just needs to stay in the 18yd box for me. Most of yesterday, he was redundant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think Wood might score goals which count despite me never wanting him here in normal circumstances. I would like to hear of alternative options though.

Bimpy474 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 I'm not overly worried about his performance yesterday, he had 2 days with his teammates. If it carries on into game after game then yeah, but he needs a bit time to settle in, time I'm aware we don't have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) TRon there are hundreds of forwards out there who could come in for £25m man. It's the job of our scouts to find them. Edited January 16, 2022 by Hanshithispantz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
