First English club to win in Bruges and that includes the likes of Liverpool. I know this was European competition so doesn't count but I'm going to put it out there and say he can't be far away from Championship Player of the Month..... SURELY

Cheers for that, well taken goal by the Big Lad!!
So stoked for him, so happy for us as well to have him in the AW's.
Brilliant stuff Woodsy!
right place right time, real poachers effort - anyone notice the name of their #23, they have a ghost in their team he must be hard to mark, 
well taken goal, just feel so stoked for him right now
its being shown on espn in australia right now
Legend. Will be in the PL very soon I reckon. To think he couldn't start ahead of Rory Fallon last year......
his current form must be having his agent drooling
how does he still start on bench????
Bc league is hughton priority
Nice stuff Wood, good god I hope we can make Brazil 2014...I've already started learning portuguese.
Definately has hit a rich vein of form.
January will be interesting - i'm sure there will be a few teams sniffing about with the form he is currently showing.
19 years old - top scorer in the championship plus a couple in Europe already this year.
WBA are going to have to give him game time surely or risk Chris wanting out or getting offers.
Awesomeness..........
I think that JD touched on the matter a bit earlier, but his all round game still needs some improvement. There was a moment last night, where he got the ball from a throw in on the half way line with his back to goal - brilliant first touch, dropped his shoulder one way, spun the other and left the centre back for dead. A really lovely peice of skill that nearly resulted in a goal for Wade Elliott.
Problem is that when you watch him for a whole game, he drifts in and out - sometimes you don't see him for 15 minutes. An ability to score goals is an incredible skill that very few players in the world has, and an incredible base for him to build on, but he needs to develop a number of other areas of the game before he starts looking at playing consistently in the premier league. It will come, but it will take a little time.

True. But you see that from any 19 year old really.
Well done to the lad, hope he can keep it up! Bloody stoked for him! Maybe Odemwingie thought him a few things before he went to the birmingham.
I hope Birmingham sign him in the January Window, if he moves to another club in the BPl or Championship, he's gonna find him self warming the bench IMHO.Mycatiscold2011-10-22 14:56:28

I think more importantly he fits in at Birmingham imo. He has king who is the perfect provider and their overall play style works with him. If he goes to a different club with different players and different support he may not be as prolific.
A good example is Mario Gomez at FC Bayern:
As a big Munich fan I have attributed the success of Mario Gomez to the consistent injuries to Arjen Robben and Franck Ribbery. In Mario's first season he scored less than ten goals because Robben and Ribery never crossed and liked to take shots on goal from distance. When either Robben or Ribery were out Gomez got more crosses, more chances and more goals. Support and strategy is what makes or breaks a striker.

If you need lessons, I can help you out :) Brazilian football vocabulary is my specialty
How has Birmingham only played 9 games? Or is that an error here? every other club has played 12 or 13...Championship tablemartinb2011-10-23 18:03:53
I would guess its because of Europe fixtures
top work by espn soccernet, 8 goals in 9 games, listed as a defender. sign him up

they done it all season.... think they would have learnt by now
I see shane long has injured himself, out for 6 weeks apparently. Any chance Wood will get a call up to replace him?
None, he's on loan till the 5th of Jan.
But surely WBA can recall him to replace an injured player
Na, once a club pays "an undisclosed loan fee" you can't recall the player

He is a youth player still and I'm pretty sure I read WBA can have him back whenever they want
Would the loan fee take that option away from WBA? Like in FM
Anyway I found this
"53.2.8 Emergency Loans and Youth Loans may contain a break clause but only where that break clause is exercisable after the expiry of the initial 28 day period of the loan."

Correct
How has Birmingham only played 9 games? Or is that an error here? every other club has played 12 or 13...Championship table
When ever there is a midweek European fixture, such as the Europa League, the Championship also have a midweek game. Therefore Birmingham fall one match behind when they play a Europa League match.
Zigic and substitute Chris Wood brought good saves from Paul Rachubka,
otherwise there was little serious threat to the scoreline amid what
remained an intriguing and hard-fought clash.

No goals this time around! 1-0 to Birmingham. And Reid played a full 90 with a win also.

Im ot in NZ at the moment.....can any one say if Woodsy's goal scoring feats are making it onto the TV news in NZ?
Would be great for the image of NZ football for a kiwi boy to be banging in goals at a top level in Europe.
