One we missed out on...

Chris Wood, another 2 for Forest tonight.

Was gutted when we couldn't sign him and he went those cheating fox hunting fuckers.

We were 16th when he signed. While he was with us we Won 8, Drew 7, Lost 4
We were 7th by the time West Brom recalled him after he got 11 in 19 games for us.
We ended up 20th and stayed up by 2 points.
 
We'd have had a decent chance of the play-offs if we'd signed him. I think JB was prepared to stump up the cash but the better wages Leicester offered swung it. He was lethal for us. Him and Henderson were a right handful. So near and yet so far. Another chance missed. The story of Millwall in a nutshell.
 
To be fair we tried very hard to hard to sign him and I think iam right in saying we offered the same amount as Leicester in transfer money but they offered him more wages so he chose them and who can blame him was very good for us and would have been better if he stayed but he as done alright for himself was gutted when he didn’t sign
 
Why? :grinning:

I'm competitive so like the challenge.
I’m presuming it’s something to do with the Premiership? Which means you’ve bought into all the hype surrounding it (the same bolloxs most on here purport to despise)
I’m actually quite proud of the fact that I know less than 20% of the players in the Premiership & I’m happy to stay that way
(e.g. Bowen & Zooma wet spam, but I couldn’t name another one)
Mind you, you’re only a pup so I’ll let you off
 
Didn't we replace him with Kane when he went back? What a partnership that could've been, ha.
 
He was upfront with Henderson wasn't he ? Made a good partnership two big lumps who could both score goals.
