I watched the match this morning. Chris got 75 mins (replaced when 0-1 down, the striker subbed on scored with a few mins left to finish 1-1, so Wood might find himself down the pecking order next match).
I thought he had a poor game (despite working hard as usual). According to commentary he hadn't trained with the team at all prior to the match. He lost the ball a few times with some heavy touches and the only half chance he had pretty much missed the ball/scuffed his shot. He also got the ball near the edge of the box once and looked for a pass instead of a shot when he had some space, I think it showed a lack of confidence as it was a spot I think a few years back his instinct would be to try and smash it in.
Nottingham Forest looked really poor (maybe I was getting used to the heights of watching a top 4 team when he was at Newcastle!) and were lucky to get a draw.
