Chris Wood insists that the hard work is only just starting for Newcastle United this season - despite the Magpies sitting on their best points tally after 15 games since 1995.
The United marksman goes in against his old club Leeds knowing that he can cement his place in Eddie Howe's team on merit if he can notch at St James' Park. Howe built up praise for the New Zealand international after he led the line well against Leicester on Boxing Day in the 3-0 win in which he netted from the spot.
But he feels that there is still a big job to do moving forward. Looking ahead to the final game of 2022, Wood was keen to send the right message to fans.
