Woodrows finish was world class. The move was world class. Just ashame I've never seen as many fouls been gifted to one side what effected the game. It was like it was panned out
This for me could argue were not playing to his strengths but he gave the ball away countless times today 2 simple passes he put out for swansea throws in the 1st half but did get the goal with a nice finish but overall he hasn't been his best for a long while.
Great finish granted but that does not excuse him being woeful the rest of the time over the two legs. Struggled at times to control the football, simple passes went out of play and you just generally felt he when he had the ball in the final third he would lose it and often did. As someone else said, maybe his role has changed under Val but IMO he should be doing more.
Woodrow has shown he is a good forward though I do wonder if he's a good forward in this team. His goal return from open play has been disappointing this season. I like him as a footballer and part of me keeps thinking he might be more suited to midfield in this team.
He was played out of position under struber and has had balls lumped to him all season this year. With the right service, in the right position, he’s 20 goals
Again, I'm pro-Woodrow. But why was he played out of position under Struber? And the ball lumped up to him argument holds some water but why when he gets the ball is he so poor at retaining it and snatching at shots? And again to reiterate I don't mind him my preference would be keeping him and he might be the best we can do. but worrying about him leaving? I'm not sure.
Swansea manager took him to one side and had a conversation with his hand over his mouth. We don't use him to his full advantage but he's a real team player and mucks in. Don't be too surprised if he's the first to leave. In a 4 4 2 with a big target man to play off he's a 20 goal a season striker so I'd be sad if he did leave.
I saw the other angle. He said “fk these lot off and come play for me next season. I’ll play you up front and give you some balls into your feet”
U explain why and with good reason , he's been terrible , Ivan Toney , Armstrong to me two quality strikers , we got a bloke from a America who scored more Goals than our main man but ya Tell.me he's a good striker , please ffs
Woodrow with 15 goals and 5 assists contributed to more goals than anyone else. Mowatt as nearest with 8 goals and 7 assists.
