I'd presume though Dave that if we weren't blessed with Wood, we'd have another no 9, who may, or may not, score a few?
Comparing, in any way, with Lee Chapman, actually does beggar belief in my book. Chapman scored goals in the 1st Div, Wood will never be good enough for that - in fact, he finds Championship defences a bit much most of the time. Perhaps irrelevant was a bit harsh, but not by much?
