\u201cBut then after, you\u2019ll be going, \u2018Lads, you\u2019ve got to test their goalkeeper\u2019 – because these are big chances.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe chances we\u2019ve seen [against Arsenal], they\u2019re not half-chances, these are players just taking too long, not being quick enough with their shots and not testing the goalkeeper. <\/p>\n
\u201cI think that\u2019s where you\u2019d be really frustrated.\u201d<\/p>\n
He also questioned why Wood didn\u2019t take a touch on his right foot when he had his big chance against Arsenal. <\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s an experienced player. These opportunities, we\u2019ll give them a lot of praise but you have to test the goalkeeper, hit the target. The manager must be so frustrated. They\u2019ll be lacking confidence,\u201d Keane said via the BBC. <\/p>\n
Fellow pundit Ian Wright said he was surprised Wood was unable to put the ball in the net. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe Chris Wood one, for a player at this level and who has scored goals at this level, it was very, very surprising,\u201d Wright said. <\/p>\n
\u201cTo think that he could cutback against a defence like Arsenal and think he\u2019s going to get a shot off, it\u2019s not going to happen.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou have to recognise that and make sure you do that in training. You are not going to get that opportunity against Arsenal. Take that shot as soon as you can.\u201d<\/p>\n
Wood has played second fiddle to Liam Delap after Forest signed the 23-year-old from Chelsea for about $117m, with the new striker scoring just once in his six Premier League games so far. <\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Wood has played just 85 minutes of league football this season, making all his appearances as a substitute and has failed to put the ball in the net. <\/p>\n
Recent comments from manager Oliver Glasner have suggested Wood is unlikely to start ahead of Delap, with him instead being used in training to help advise the younger forwards of how to be more ruthless in front of goal. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cBut then after, you\u2019ll be going, \u2018Lads, you\u2019ve got to test their goalkeeper\u2019 – because these are big…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":636070,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[9331,74,9092,49537,13916,5195,1558,13381,3276,16414,40671,3247,1668,5267,23834,25449,6501,130,111,139,13376,69,6452,24352,213,61,11226,5264,102,4883],"class_list":["post-636069","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-chance","tag-after","tag-against","tag-arsenal","tag-asked","tag-be","tag-been","tag-captain","tag-chris","tag-clinical","tag-draw","tag-forest","tag-front","tag-goal","tag-golden","tag-level","tag-missing","tag-more","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nottingham","tag-nz","tag-opportunity","tag-secure","tag-sports","tag-to","tag-urged","tag-whites","tag-with","tag-wood"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/636069","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=636069"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/636069\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/636070"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=636069"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=636069"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=636069"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
