Wood has missed some sitters in the last three games. Goals that would have secured safety.
A key theme from these is they required very fast reactions and soft and quick feet. Something for him to focus on in the off season.
He’ll still be happy with his contribution but I would suspect Nuno will go shopping in the off-season as these misses would have been very frustrating for him.

Will Awoniyi be sold then? He’s a very good striker too. Both him and Wood are much better than Origi, day out and in.
Wood had a very nice dribble and lay off in the box which might have been an assist another day.
Today’s best looking chance was actually quite a tricky one, because of the height. He had to get his knee up and over it to volley it, but it still would have been a difficult header if he’d gone the Greenacre route.
The keeper was aware of an earlier chip, but it was still a good option in the situation, and he headed back across dangerously, but the defense were quickest to react. He looked really good, but not hitting the target as a poacher looks really bad. Some options perhaps he could even take a touch, though he’s at his best with fast ball movement.
Both Awoniyi and Wood have had stretches out with injury so maybe someone younger and fitter to compete, but that’s an expensive striker. Nicholas Jackson. And a lot is at the discretion of an eccentric owner.
One of Wood’s best seasons by number of goals. And he’s scored a variety of finishes too.
