Why I like Libby and Old rather than Singh, is Singh needs to direct traffic. He’s not a player to drive at a FB at speed and pull CBs out of position to create room for Wood. TBF this is what has made Gillian exciting- we don’t have a lot of wingers who run at their defenders.
It really depends on how we see ourselves playing. I feel I’m due a few exciting front foot moments with ball at feet from the AWs.
The other point is that if Singh is directing traffic 3 players ahead of him making runs is guna be more effective than him trying to hit Wood aerially.

Hmm left Garbett (and McCowatt) out. I guess if he plays or comes on we change formation. He tends to shoot from distance, make late runs into the box or pass. I guess possibly box him with Singh in similar starting positions, but looking to move into different areas.
The other important key to using Wood is how and when to press. This has been a massive part of Forest’s success. If the front 4 can turn the ball over up high or force them to go long to our defense, then we can launch into an attack.
