He was decent before he went on that trip to China.
After that, he was a waste of skin frankly.

Fair play to him. Can only comment on what I saw of him last year and would still say he wasn't good enough for us. Hope he proves me wrong!

He was rubbish for us after that international break he had! In fact no he was utter dogshit! Birminghams play will suit him. Nice and scrappy. Barnes, CMS and hoskins anyday of the week for me thanks.

An interesting piece about Chris Wood from a Birmingham City blogger. He's probably got it about right ...

Here are my reflections on the second leg of the Europa League Playoff Round tie against CD Nacional.

Over the course of the two legs, our Kiwi international striker could have had a real hatful of goals; the fact he hasn’t is a combination of some profligacy in front of the goal, the goalposts and an incredible moment of selfishness from Adam Rooney, who really should have squared it. There is no denying that Wood is raw, but he definitely has talent; he won his fair share of headers, he held off defenders and he got to the right place at the right time to tap home Stephen Carr’s inviting ball (in saying that there were three blue shirts behind him ready for it). From speaking to the [West Bromwich] Albion correspondent at the [Birmingham Evening] Mail, Wood isn’t really needed there so I hope Hughton can convince the board to extend his loan to January – with six European games on top of the league now to come, we’re going to need a bigger squad.

Agreed. However he'd be a good backup and would offer something different. Will only get better with age too.
I'm sure he'll improve given his age, but was one of those strikers who would take 5 shots to hit the target and 10-15 to actually score. Didn't punch his weight for me and I really don't think he had any presence either.
Pleased he is doing well, but not better than any of our current players.

Always rated him, just don't think he really fits into the way we play. Good luck to him though

I liked the lad but i can't understand how someone so big got muscled off the ball so much & didn't win any headers.

Clearly had potential and would be a decent long term bet. Clearly was average for L1 last year and thus useful. However taking someone so raw and inconsistent on loan as an option off the bench is OK, BUYING him or better singing on a free would have been a good move. Unless a cheap/free perm signing I wasn't fussed about getting him back. Also just cos he's big doesn't make him that 'something different off the bench with presence' striker, he isn't that type, just a big lad.

Hoskins or Wood? Absolutely no doubt we got the better player.

Not really comparible though are they? Different types of striker.
