Former Nottingham Forest star delivers verdict on under-fire striker Chris Wood

Lewis McGugan says Chris Wood is "what Nottingham Forest need" in their bid to stay in the Premier League.

Wood scored a crucial equaliser against Manchester City at the City Ground but has otherwise left many fans underwhelmed with his performances in six appearances since joining on loan from Newcastle United.

Speaking on the Garibaldi Red podcast, McGugan says Wood gives Forest a physical presence upfront in the absence of injured striker Taiwo Awonyi, highlighting his part in the team's first equaliser against Everton on Sunday.
