Guest HTT II Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 9 minutes ago, duo said: Was ok yesterday but he's been brought in to get goals and he's barely had a shot never mind one on target. He was signed to give us a focal point up front because without Wilson we have none, that and should we go down, he’d tear it up in the Championship. He’ll get goals, not loads, but hopefully enough. He was decent yesterday outside of the box. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He laid off one or two balls edge of the box nicely as well, hes fine for now but would be better to have someone up there with some speed to turn the cb Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thiago Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 21 hours ago, Conjo said: That's a pretty optimistic worst case He's nowhere near the player Santa Cruz was. Forgive me, I mean our Santa Cruz if we're talking about ourselves as the new Manchester City. They kept a lot of their early business domestic and he was one of the bigger failures (down to injury mostly). I actually loved him at Blackburn.

Sean Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 (edited) His FB Scout report (the ones that show Guimaraes as being a god at most things), makes for absolutely tragic viewing. Literally the only thing he is good at is winning aerial duels. https://ibb.co/PtDDdGq Edited February 1, 2022 by Sean Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 It's strange, I always fancied him to score whenever I watched him in recent years, never really noticed him on the pitch much, but he usually popped up with a goal. But for us he's looked like an absolute donkey. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has the record of a reliable goalscorer, that's it. It's been widely acknowledged that relying on him is a risk. But even if he doesn't get his 1 in 3 he is still an important presence in how the team will attack. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally the only thing he is good at is winning aerial duels. Why are people now trying to shoot down Wood. His record shows for the past 4 seasons he averages 10+ goals a season. Last season he had a slow start and then picked up in the second half of season. Its clear that Wood wasn't their 1st choice - they reacted and then tried to get another striker in. Like it or not he is a NUFC striker now - the alternative is Gayle - wonder what his stats are for the past 4 years.........anyone, anyone, anyone.............

But for us he's looked like an absolute donkey. Burnley played to his strengths and used him correctly. He seemed a bit of a strange fit for how we set up though, as he is a poacher that thrives on crosses, something we don't do. So he is basically stuck up on his own to win headers (but we have nobody around him to get on to the flick ons). his play is pretty limited, but we don't play to his strengths which isn't helping him. I don't think he is looking like a donkey as much as we are just not using him in the right way. If we had brought someone in with some pace who could play off him, he would probably be much more useful. Wonder if Howe will do that once Wilson is back.

Oh dear. Not good news if so. Literally a day after transfer deadline day we could be strikerless. Ridiculous.
