Chris Wood again we all have to rethink our opinions on our striker at this rate 20 goals plus no bother to this guy.

I don't have to rethink my opinion Wex old boy. Have always had him down as a 20 goal a season striker and have defended him countless times this season. With 7 in 11 (so far at HT) , he is a certain starter in my opinion. Good sub? Are people on here real? The trouble is with a lot on here and I'm not having a go go overboard after one or two results. We lose and Monk should be sacked, Wood doesn't score and he should be a sub. On the flip side we win a couple and we're going up, Wood scores (again) and everyone loves him again. Said it countless times, we will have our ups and downs (it's written in the song) but judge the team and the man over a season!

Up the whites, down the pints!

Very accurate MM, I'm guilty of having posted, thought, and said every point you make above.

Got to try and stay grounded I will.

There are plenty out there that cannot see the Wood for the trees. Look in the mirror and then criticise.

I don't think a lot of people understand that he is still a young striker and that he feeds off confidence MM. Once he scores a couple of times in a row he tends to go on and have a run of getting 5 or 6, sadly, as you said, he fails to score in one match then everyone jumps on him and his confidence plummets.

When he gets his tail up he has the ability to put in some very smart and powerful finishes (he nearly got one today but for the timely intervention of the post) , saw him hit more than a couple of screamers before joining us, its why we had to fend off so many clubs to get him.

Now, at 7 in 11, I would love to see just what he could do if people got behind him wholeheartedly for a change and tried to build him back up when he makes a mistake. We haven't seen him at his best yet, if we can get him there I honestly think he will fire us to a top six place this year.

Ps Also for all the people saying, well yes but he misses 5 for every 1 he scores, so what? used to take Beckford 10 attempts. As long as he produces 6 a game then he's golden.

He really is a confidence player and it's growing each week need to get behind the team now so as not to break all what is going on . They are so beginning to gel . looking good.

Perfectly said Mick and Gummie.
Many said Wood AND the Monk had to go TWO WEEKS back as they were both ineffectual in their roles.
They know who they are.

Wow I'm really glad to see some positives put on here for a change wood is 24 years old like most he's still young and a lot of people put far to much pressure on players like him fact is when confident he will get 20 plus but getting on the lads back won't help him what so ever.
We go on about Macormack and players like that I remember when he struggled to get in a side till he came to us and he's got 6 years on wood.

I personally want wood to succeed and keep the doom and gloomers quite but then if it's not wood I'm sure it will be another player in a few weeks some people are just to quick to jump on players backs second a player has 1 bad game.

I went to the game Saturday it was really good and Ipswich aren't a bad side and we limited them to basically nothing we will have off games but if we play like we did Saturday we will be a good side.

January rolls round, sell Wood.

Sign Nugent on loan, ask about Jordan Rhodes and also throw a cheeky bid in for Lee Gregory.

Get Monk to revisit his old club for Alfie Mawson on loan, stick Mawson and Jansson at CB with Bartley cover.

Sell the worst decision ever made aswell, that fraud picking up a pay packet Cooper.

2 players I shuddered when we signed them, Wood and Cooper and nothing they've done in a Leeds shirt has convinced me otherwise.

2/ 3 seasons ago I was shouting for Leeds to go get Aaron Pierre and Alfie Mawson, who were both on loan at Wycombe, formidable partnership, scoring goals for fun and keeping clean sheets.

Granted we'd of had a bedding in period but we'd be reaping the rewards now.

Wouldn't of even cost much, 3.5much for the pair I'd bet.

I hope Kemar Roofe comes good soon, he's got this season and then I'll reserve judgement to next season with him.
