Quote from Sean Dyche...
" I'd twigged towards the end of last season, that Chris Wood was looking to turn over a new leaf. On my part, I didn't want to branch out too far from our system, and Chris was eager to take his bough in the top flight. During a Trunk call to Leeds after our last offer, I realised that they were all bark and no bite, and that Chris was feeling chipper about dovetailing into the group. Yew'll be aware that whilst I've been at the Elm here, transfer fees have been Privet between the two Clubs, but Leeds have ashed us to be plane about it. I'd heard that Forest were interested, because after all, he's carrying no excess timber. Some saps have logged in to " The Beehole End " to accuse me of being " thick as a plank " ! However, that rather goes against the grain and it's only a splinter movement. They will soon see that players like Wood don't grow on Trees !!
I'll get me Coat....

Let's hope he stays fit and keeps away from the treetment room.

Well it was thought he'd become a sportsman from a young age, because he was always a tall boy.

He'll fit right into the groove and have the Rovers defence in knots. Trust me, I saw it in the stars. Acorn y thing to say maybe. If Stan Tenon was our manager still, he wood agree.
Seasons already started but better lathe than never.

Sean Dyche and Chris were walking through Gawthorpe's beautiful surrounds before signing his contract and Chris piped up. 'You know gaffer, I'm from New Zealand and being from such a beautiful country, we're taught from a young age about the flora and fauna'. 'For instance this is a Dogwood'. 'Wow! Amazing Chris. How do you know that?' Queries the boss. Chris replied 'It's identified by it's bark.'

He's a right pine in the arse for defenders, let's hope the commentators label him the "evergreen Chris wood"

We did once have a player called Andy Wardrobe ( true) when he left my Mum said it was probably because he didn't fit in!

Only issue is with his commitment for me, he's looked like he's been on the beech since we first made out interest known. Let's hope he's still sharp.

When Wood scores his first goal Dyche will remark "wonderful finish".

He's really got a lovely finish on him and isn't shy of the odd chip too. I hope Sean has him well drilled and he can be moldered to fit our style of play. I hope he can screw the ball back and be the glue between midfield and the forward line.
