He was plenty old enough in the Peru and Costa Rica games though

Mate he sadly wasn't fit against Peru. Jogging on one leg, hammy injury on the other. A fatigued Thomas who gave his all ran himself ragged at the ROF, had a glorious chance to play the Woodsman in late on, but completely shanked the cross.

Against Costa Rica, Wood had the one big chance that Garbett created and he buried it, but righly VAR ruled it out. That footage is still to painful to rewatch. He did however have one very reasonable pen shout in that game that another ref may have given.

Edit - and re Carlind's post above he's scored against Japan x3 (double in 2014 & another in 2017), plus Mexico at 2017 Confeds Cup. I doubt either have ever dropped out of the world's top 50 ranked teams?

What has been annoying lately is his propensity to get injured on AWs duty. Australia 2022. China 2023. New Caledonia this year.

And yes when he has played against the bigger teams, he can cut a frustrated figure with a lack of any real quality service. It's several steps down from his team mates like Elanga at Forest. But Bell and McCowatt now look to be in upward trajectories. Stamenic, Old and Garbett definitely also have strong upside. De Vries with his great deliveries has forced his way back into the squad. Hopefully the team can create more chances for their EPL striker. Though I still think this squad will be stronger in 2030, than 2026.

Unfortunately can see him missing the Toronto games next month. Forest seem a tired lot, and Wood is having to play the 90 mins.

But yipe he's due a goal for the national team in a big game. Fingers crossed for next year.
