Nuno makes Chris Wood prediction and reveals what Nottingham Forest 'spoke about' after Arsenal loss
Head coach Nuno Espirito Santo has backed “perfect” Nottingham Forest striker Chris Wood to keep going for several years yet.
The 32-year-old scored the only goal of the game at the City Ground to clinch a 1-0 victory for the Reds over Ipswich Town. His emphatic penalty - after Jota Silva had been fouled - took him level with Bryan Roy at the top of the club’s list of Premier League scorers with 24 goals in the competition.
It was also Wood’s ninth of the season for Forest and ensured they returned to winning ways after consecutive defeats. The hosts did not have it easy against the newly-promoted Tractor Boys, but in the New Zealand international they have a reliable goal scorer.
Asked if Wood can keep going well into his 30s, Nuno said: “I believe so. Chris really takes care of himself. Nutrition and rest is so important. Chris has this ambition to keep playing, so he has to take care of his body and his mind. And he is perfect now. As long as he continues, good.
“We are delighted (with him equalling Roy’s record). And not only here, in New Zealand he is going to break all the records. They are there to be broken. We are delighted. He keeps delivering, and we are so glad.”
After shipping six goals in their last two games, Forest’s clean-sheet against Ipswich was most welcomed by Nuno. And he recognised his team had to work hard for it.
“It was very hard-earned,” he said. “We say this over and over again, but as a team, as a squad and as a club, we have to be very hard to beat - that should be our mindset.
“We spoke about that during the week and about going back to basics. The basics are simple, let’s be solid. And solid is being aggressive, sticking to your task and helping your teammates. Defensively, we were OK.
“All the back line did OK. It wasn’t only the defence, the midfield were aggressive. But when we changed to a back three, we allowed too much and dropped too much.”
