Goal and assist in strong performance Wood fired four shots, scoring with one of them. He also provided an assist and created two chances in Saturday's 3-2 defeat to AFC Bournemouth.

Impact Wood was Forest's most effective player on Saturday despite receiving little service in a match where his team only managed 32 percent possession. His goal was an assertive header from a Morgan Gibbs-White corner, and he developed the assist for Forest's opening strike after winning the ball and executing a perfectly placed pass for Anthony Elanga to finish. The New Zealand striker has scored four goals and provided an assist from his 16 appearances (five starts). This was his first goal in seven matches.
