There was 10 other players and a class manager doing most of it, he was just another number, bang average and over priced. This is such a mental stance to take. He obviously contributed. Considerably. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sushimonster85 Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 He didn't score as much as he should, but (with Wilson gone till we were already safe) Wood allowed us to implement an effective style of play that ultimately helped us stay up. Now if you want to talk about why we used Wood for this and now Weighorst, who it turns out was available for half the price, that's a conversation to be had.

sushimonster85 Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Is this Anthony Gordon stuff all based of Sean Casey and Mouth of the Tyne? If so there's no point even discussing it. Considering actually journos seem to be at a loss as to what we're doing, they will just be plucking names out their arse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he bollocks, I couldn't wait for Wilson to get fit, Wood was stale. It's another opinion, that differs to others, I knew we'd be back here with this chat, everyone was done with Wood after his howler against Sheffield. Now its the classic, he kept us up, give over.

Have we overpaid for anyone since? Isak perhaps, but he could well go on to be top class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were terrible, he signed, we almost immediately became good. He played almost every game. It's obviously a lot more complex than that, but to suggest we stayed up in spite of him is a pretty wild take. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether everyone is now “done” with him or not is entirely irrelevant to the fact that he played a major part in us staying up, which, really, was 90%+ of what he was signed for. Pretending that he didn’t is utterly ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Jinx Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 The revisionism is mental regarding Chris Wood. We were a side who couldn’t keep the ball out of our own box, nothing was sticking further up the pitch. We also had a major injury to Wilson (v Man Utd iirc). He gave us a focal point to get further up and pitch and get the results needed to reach safety, whether it was the few goals he scored or just general link up play leading to an assist. Just keep in mind that the hard work was done by the time Wilson returned. Just because he’s been exposed as a weak link in how we’re playing now, does not dismiss his contribution. His fee was/is irrelevant because without him coming in we could be playing in the Championship right now. It’s that simple. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sushimonster85 Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 If Wood does leave I personally would be going all out for Marcus Thuram. Can play centrally as well as wide, and wouldn't cost the earth as not long left on his contract. Would likely want a pretty high p/w salary to come here in Jan mind.
