At 33, Chris Wood continues to be a significant goal threat in the Premier League, evidenced by a near-top percentile ranking in goal efficiency and goals scored per 90 minutes. This is a classic poacher's profile; when the ball's in the penalty area, Wood is lethal. His style of play maximises his goal-poaching instincts, though his footprint across the pitch is surprisingly limited—he rarely engages in dribbles or touch the ball often, which hints at his role as a more traditional striker. Despite a lower touch count, his high goal output suggests he makes those rare touches count. However, his contribution diminishes outside the box; his ball retention is low, and his pass accuracy could be sharper. His chance creation is lacking, meaning he's not the forward who'll link up play or assist frequently. Nonetheless, if the job is to put the ball in the net, Wood remains among Nottingham Forest's finest, a classic finisher whose numbers reiterate his knack for finding the back of the net consistently.
