Newcastle up 1-0 at halftime against Aston Villa thanks to a Trippier free kick that took a deflection. Typical EPL game this season for Wood, working very hard, winning lots of headers (mostly in non dangerous areas) but not his typical clinical self infront of goal. Had a good chance to play in one of his teammates, took the shot instead and muffed it completely into the stands.

I don't think it's a conincidence Newcastle is doing better since Wood joined the team; he helps their formation, works hard and offers them a different outlet, but lets hope he scores a goal to help his confidence before the fans start becoming critical of him not looking like scoring so far. 

Edit - I've also got to add (after watching another chance he doesn't pass to Wood in a great position) Saint Maximin is an amazing dribbler but extremely one dimensional and selfish. His inability to pass, let alone even think about playing a QUICK cross/pass doesn't help Wood at all. There was a also a spot in first half, another small example, where Wood pressed the keeper and had them under pressure but Saint Maximin didn't do the same to the nearby defender making Wood's work pointless. Even though Wood is the striker, I feel like he's much more likely to set up/help Saint Maximin than the other way around.
