Chris Wood

Wood scores from wherever the ball happens to arrive, rather than depending on one favoured position inside the box the way some strikers do. Headers, low finishes across the goalkeeper, and chances that fall kindly off a defender all get taken with the same calm. That variety comes from years spent learning exactly where a rebound is likely to land before it happens.

He offers little in the way of build up play, preferring to stay high and let midfielders bring the ball to him rather than dropping deep himself. That makes him reliant on service from further back. The argument among Forest supporters is whether a team creating fewer clear chances can still find enough of them to keep him properly involved in a match. Even now, opposition defenders treat him as a threat inside the box right until the final whistle.
