I agree with Noel Whelan and think that fans need to give him a break, to me he is working his rocks off, and is doing better than people think. The 2 pivotal moments today both involved him - firstly the red card, if the keeper had not handled the ball Wood would have headed into an empty net. Secondly the own goal - Wood was ready to head home the great cross from Dallas and the defender nipped in ahead of him to stop him scoring and put into his own net. Yes he does have faults and is not the total package but he is trying hard and at 24 or whatever he can be a great player for us at this level . As Snowy said But with Chris Wood I need people to get off his back.He was playing as a lone striker in the first half and our midfield was miles off in getting support up to him which made it very difficult. It’s not easy when you are playing the lone striker but he is turning a lot of bad balls into good balls but not getting the rewards of a goal.But all the work that he does up front by himself, holding the ball, running the channels, bringing people into play, people have got to look at that as well. The bigger picture.The goals will come for Chris Wood, there’s no doubt about it and maybe he just needs one of those that ricochets off his knee to get that confidence going in front of goal again.But everything that is coming up to him he is doing his best with and he’s a massive part of Leeds United and the way we play. I don’t think any other striker at this club could play the role that he does and he needs to start getting a bit more credit for that.
