The Chicksen vs Wood debate last season did make me laugh.
Wood is far from perfect but it's very clear that he's someone who A) has ability and B) has more to give and will get better with game time.
A player who's been underused in a City shirt imo.

He got his head down and worked hard last season and in fairness performed well at times.
Given we have Donaldson and Vaughan, if nothing else his ability to cross a ball could see him getting a run of games. I don't care if he's not fast and can't beat a man with pace. Beckham couldn't! Now.... I'm not comparing him to Beckham but he's just one example of a wide player who didn't have pace and did OK for himself.
I hope Connor gets a run of games and performs well.Ollylondonbantam, Chad, NorthernMonkey and 2 others like this. -
Hes got a lot of potential. A season of League 2 football is probably perfect for his development.
Personally, I'd like to see him at left back. He'd still be able to get forward and put those deliveries into the box, but with a proper left winger we'd have even more supply into the front 2.
I'd imagine that he's done more than enough to keep his shirt and position for Tuesday night. Itll be the same team I'd think.Stop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand... Click to expand...scubadiver2, bantam2708, Botswana Bantam and 2 others like this. -

I like Connor, and I think he definitely shows promise. Still not sure which position he is better at. Good performance yesterday from him in an attacking role, some very good crosses, including the opening goal.
However, i think as he gains experience, I would like to think he will make a good attacking full backStoneski, bantam2708, Botswana Bantam and 2 others like this. -

was a joke that chicksen kept him out of the team last season. If he keeps up with the crosses, it makes us a much more dangerous team as we have a different type of threat on each flank, with Scannell being more of a get your head down and run at em type and Wood a bit more Beagrie style crossing from a bit deeper. Train him up on his other foot, get em swapping flanks and nobody in L2 would be able to cope.

He’s a terrible defender but can cross a ball so it’s not hard to work out his best position

Keep him left midfield and let him feed the Don.

Very good going forward again tonight, every cross / long ball over the top looks dangerous. Definitely prefer him LM than LB

The Chicksen debate was only ludicrous in that Wood was never a better left back.Ollylondonbantam likes this. -
Put some good balls in yesterday and I agree with above run of games will do him good .

Proven he has got great instinctive delivery. His cross for first goal yesterday was really on the money. Offers a nice contrast to the more typical wing trickery on the other side with Scannell.
I feel like Henley could be a weak link in this side so no bad thing at the moment having the more defensively minded Wood in front of him to track back and help him out.
On the other side can see Scannell and Mellor developing a good partnership based on yesterday's game. Brilliant ball from the latter for the second goal as well, long ball at its best!Onside likes this. -

Contender for MoM for me tonight. Think he coped very well moving back to LB and getting hit quite a lot in the second.

Watched him at lm in pre season at park avenue and his delivery was top notch
I know he had more time and space than he would in a regular league game but with the quality of striker we have at our disposal he can only be an asset to our team
