What a goal though.Bang!!
Chris Wood (Nottingham Forest | England)
Quality celebration - scores a worldy, and stands on a hoarding in front of the fans. The hoarding falls over so while his teammates are jumping all over him he is apologising to the photographer that the hoarding fell on.
Already been one with West Brom.
Replay of the Burnley game tomorrow morning 7.30 am Sommet Sports. Forgot to record it on the weekend, so looking forward to this one!
All I know is Woodsy scored a scorcher, no score or anything, so I'll still enjoy watching the whole game.

What a strike!!!
Leicester v Sheffield Wednesday live 7.40 am Saturday Sommet Sports
A Friday night game in the UK.
Leicester vs Sheff Wed on Sommet sports at the moment. Wood starting.
...and he's got an assist already, 10 mins in
Thought he played well while on, linked play up well, got about the pitch, never really chances to score
They are now officially promoted.heres his chance to impress and push for starting role for end of season and start of next
Thought he played well while on, linked play up well, got about the pitch, never really chances to score
yeah, he charged back into the midfield a couple of times to win the ball back for Leicester, and had some nice touches as well- including setting up the first goal.
He looked a bit gutted to be subbed off, which also shows a good attitude. Hopefully he will continue to to well with minimal pressure over the last weeks of the season
Wtf.... He has been playing well and now dropped to the bench???? What did he do
Came on at half time in the end
Couldn't stop them from getting smashed... hard to pick themselves up for the game having gained promotion i guess.
Probably all hungover
Probably all hungover
After playing really well and scoring v Bury, it's very disappointing to see Chris not feature in the following heavy defeat to Brighton and only coming on as a 65 minute sub in the 1-1 draw with Reading last weekend.
Sucks even more he stayed on the subs bench this weekend in the 1-0 win v QPR in a game broadcast in NZ on Sommet Sport this afternoon.
Pearson always prefers Vardey who's over-rated I think. Chris only got a chance v Bury in the game that secured them promotion because Vardey was injured. Now back to business as usual.
Makes you wonder if Chris will have any sniff of first team football next season in the Premier League. Should he hang around for the subs bench / reserve team in the EPL or try his luck elsewhere in England at a club that would give him more first team opportunities?
Has proven himself at championship level the last few season bar this year. Robbie kruse in 2011-2012 for Dusseldorf didn't have much game time at all then he was their best player the following year. Just needs to bust his guts in the off season and start well the team will be chopped and changed pretty frequently if they aren't winning. If he gets quality minutes I think he can get the job done
Middlesbrough would take him...

He's really been a bench player the whole season - and while he's had some decent performances, the fact that he's struggled to break into the first team doesn't bode well for the next season. Promoted teams usually look to strengthen in the off-season and bring in a Premiership forward, so it wouldn't be the least bit surprising if he ended up on loan back in the Championship.
has scored some good and important goals, but lets be serious here he would get destroyed in the premiership

IF they decide to get rid of him - I agree
promoted to the premier league as a champion! well done Chris!!

I do wonder how he would go about 5 kgs lighter. I know his strength is a strength of his but would he get a little bit more speed out of that and make him a little nippier?

I could also be talking just a load of bollocks so....
He is good enough to play in the EPL with Leicester
He's currently not really playing much in the Championship for Leicester so I'm not sure you have a valid point there sir.

But I get your point. Although I've always thought he seems reasonably mobile for such a big lad.

Chris on as a 56 min. sub this morning in 1-0 away win v. Bolton in the game that officially clinched the title (promotion already assured -but now promoted as champions):
Great he was on the field for the significant win.

Lots of records broken:
"Club captain Wes Morgan will lift the trophy in front of the Blue Army at King Power Stadium on the final day of the season against Doncaster Rovers on Saturday 3 May – City’s seventh second tier title.
That seventh title equals the all-time English league record of second tier league wins held by Manchester City, and means Morgan’s name will be alongside Johnny Duncan, Sep Smith, Matt Gillies, Jack Froggatt, David Nish and Mark Wallington as the men to have lifted the famous trophy in City blue.
The Foxes have been top of the league since a 1-0 victory over Reading at King Power Stadium on Boxing Day – the second game of a Club record nine game winning streak.
A Club second-tier record of 21 games without defeat between December and April followed to cement the Foxes’ place at the summit, while Tuesday’s win at the Reebok made it a remarkable 29 league games since the Foxes failed to score."

Wood is starting tonight. 6 changes from last week
Chris wood has opted for #messytimes with the boys as opposed to representing his country. nice.
Chris Wood @officialcwood 8h
Packed and ready for the holiday Sunday! Can't wait for me and the boys to get out there! #Cyprus #messytimes
Looks like he has stopped playing for his country to partake in an orgy with a bunch of Essex girls. I wonder if tommy will be there. Being captain of his country he may pull rank and get Wood to have seconds
Wood is usually the first one to put his hand up to play, so can understand him doing this. its his big chance with a good pre-season he can play premier league
