Chris Wood extended his barren spell to seven games by firing another blank in Nottingham Forest’s 2-0 defeat to Fulham. Since the start of last season, the New Zealand international has scored just eight goals in 63 appearances.
The Reds took a punt on Wood last month exactly one year on from his big-money move to Newcastle United. However, in all three appearances for Steve Cooper’s side, he has been hooked before the full-time whistle.
Jonjo Shelvey made his debut alongside Wood in the defeat at Craven Cottage, earning rave reviews from Forest fans. The former Toon midfielder completed a permanent move to the City Ground after seven years on Tyneside.
