Wood is an odd one. I thought he played really well in his debut but then he put on a shaky performance, as did most other people and he got frozen out.
I wanted him gone but glad nobody at the club listened as he’s definitely got something about him. Wood’s pretty scrappy, energetic, fairly physical and has a more than a decent enough range of passing.
I know Pugh covers the hard yards and gets his tackles in but I think Wood’s better. If we sign Grant or another experienced DCM with Feeney in there there’s plenty of experience now, I’d be tempted for Wood to get a shot as part of a 3 man midfield.
I like Pugh’s work rate and tenacity but his shooting is woeful and technically he’s not great either.
As mentioned above Wood had more effect than what Hackney does. Hackney does good bits and pieces in matches but that’s all they are, bits and pieces. I hope he keeps his place now because there’s promise there.
