I'm with Daffy on this. Craig Davies has proven himself in this division too last season, which I suspect is even more surprising, but good luck to the lad.

Chris Wood 'unplayable'....time to put the cork back in
Here here... he was very ordinary with us.. better than Paynter though
Ok, maybe unplayable is taking it a bit too far!
But in some games he really was superb and under rated and I felt a lot of the stick he got from our fans was unfair. I am confident he will go further in the game than Barnes, Hoskins and Murray.

We should have kept Muzza or Woody, not let both our "hold the ball up" strikers go at once without replacing them. Gus has said that Wood wasn't available to us and that the only reason he could go to Birmingham on loan is that it was close to West Brom. Sounds a bit funny to me, I'm sure if Gus had really wanted him he could have got him down here.

Spot on. I'm sure Gus would say he should have got him in now - but at the time not many wanted him at this level. Lovely fella he is btw.

wood didnt exactly hold the ball up for us. he gave it away more often than not.
murray on the other hand is one of the best players ive seen at holding the ball up and giving time to other players to run off of him. we miss him for sure!
Going to upset some by bouncing an old thread but always knew Wood was a player and the stick he got from some of our fans was odd. He did well for us then as a kid, he has had a brilliant career and is still a top PL striker. Like Welbeck, continually under rated throughout his career. He’s been class tonight.
Now has 75 Premier League goals himself - Murray, Barnes and Hoskins got just 79 between them, he’s going to outscore their combined total comfortably so I think my early prediction was right!
What an unbelievable third division strike force we had though!

Still think the donkey is a prick
But why? And he’s hardly a donkey?!

Because I don't like him! No other reason, but he's in my team of donkeys, arseholes and pricks
You sound like you've lost the dressing room
Who else is in that team out of interest?

I still think it's mad we had Murray, Barnes and Wood up front in League 1 and beat a team containing Oxlaide-Chamberlain, Lambert, Lallana and Morgan Schneiderlin to the title.
Charlton and Peterborough away will always live with me as wow performances.

Completely agree with you. He's never been fashionable, probably because of his size and physical approach, but 75 premier league goals, often in struggling sides is some return.
Edging ever closer to to the top 50 premier league goalscorers of all time.

Silly old bat
He was on loan to us, a League 1 club, from PL West Brom went on international duty with NZ, and came back with attitude. He thought he was better than us, even though we’d just won the division. I’m not sure the club made any move to sign him.
