Wood not in Toon Squad Tonight

[bodge]

Not involved at all tonight, guess he has an injury but can't see anything about it.

[gandhisflipflop]

They’ve more chance of winning then.

[Winstonswhite]

Good. Id rather he wasn’t involved on Sunday either.

[Guller Bull]

Most Toon fans say that although he hasn't scored much, he has played a big part in build up play.

[evensteadiereddie]

Sounds familiar.

[tiger76]

Hope he's not involved at the weekend either, you just know he'll bag if he plays.

[Zlatan]

In his comfort zone perhaps?

[Vegas Claret]

hip injury

[bobinho]

Sounds familiar.

Was he like that at Leeds and Leicester then?

I’m being harsh…. This season for us he was shockingly disinterested, but prior to that he was quite good for us. Play to his strengths and he will do a job for you…. Don’t and you might as well start with ten men.

[JohnDearyMe]

Saving him for Sunday...

Most Toon fans say that although he hasn't scored much, he has played a big part in build up play.

Considering they've reached safety they would say that. If they were still in relegation trouble I guess their attitude might be different.

Maybe but he might have been part of the reason that they are not?

[Guller Bull]

Be nice to watch a game where you are not shi**ing bullets!

Hip injury according to Howe

[Shaggy]

Wood is not exactly that good is he. Was just a lump to it merchant for a dychnasaur of an ex manager.

I’d be happier if we had him for these last two games

It makes you wonder if people actually think before they post

[ecc]

My worst football nightmare this season is, of course, us going down but having that club putting us to the sword with Howe at the helm and Wood scoring would be just too bloody much.

[Guller Bull]

It makes you wonder if people should post.

[ElectroClaret]

Toon all over Arsenal so far, Gunners clinging on.

[clarethomer]

Is it better for us if Newcastle win tonight?

Make it more imperative that they beat Everton on the last game of the season?

[NewClaret]

No. They’re only 1 point ahead if they win tonight. If they lose, Spurs play Norwich last day so it’s basically over for them.

They look brilliant

[ElectroClaret]

ASM like a concrete-covered tank when he's running at defences.

Gotta stop him.
(And all the rest.)

[clarethomer]

No. They’re only 1 point ahead if they win tonight. If they lose, Spurs play Norwich last day so it’s basically over for them.

So if arsenal win or lose they have to beat Everton also.

I was thinking that if they lost then a draw wouldn’t be enough on the last day in case the unexpected happened and Norwich somehow held them

you shouldn't.

[IanMcL]

2 reasons come to mind. Wilson fit and now needs some time on the pitch. Also, I don't think Chris Wood would wish to score and send us down. His mates are all Clarets and he played a big chunk for us.

Mr Howe replaces in one match and retains team for next time. Sorted.

[FCBurnley]

Rather Wood play than Wilson

[Guller Bull]

DD - It makes me wonder how I keep from going under

[distortiondave]

Don't push me casper, I'm close to the edge

[warksclaret]

Hip hip Why I

[karatekid]

Let’s hope tonight was their swan song in front of their own fans and they are now just thinking about their holidays.

[RickyBobby]

Watching Newcastle tonight was scary. We are going to struggle with our depleted defence.

[what_no_pies]

If we can stop Bruno Guimaraes from playing we may just stand a chance. Joelinton and Wilson were fairly unplayable tonight too mind. Their defence and keeper can be a bit iffy though, especially as they're missing a few. Get at them (Arsenal didn't).

[dermotdermot]

Good. Id rather he wasn’t involved on Sunday either.

I’d prefer if he was.

[Quicknick]

He was more than 'quite good'.

I had a dream (nightmare) about Sunday. We were winning 1-0 in the last few minutes, Wood equalised, and was flagged for offside. Then VAR took a look and he was adjudged onside. Even for a dream, that's shocking irony.
