Conor Wood

Post by moonwalk19 »

RW in his post game interview has told Conor Wood to find another club .Conor was sitting 2 rows in front of us last week and he looked totally depressed throughout the game. Shame because he is a good player.

Fallen out of favour with two Orient managers in a row now, ouch.

RW said Hunt's greater flexibility is what counts in his favour and no doubt the trust Wellens has from previous experience plays a part too, though suspect it's not the only reason Wood is being moved on.

If it frees up enough budget for a top notch CDM rather than a mediocre one it's what needs to be done.

No idea what’s going on here but I trust that Orient have done what’s necessary to accommodate the lad before getting to this position.

If players don’t want to do what’s best for the squad they can do one. Wood is a decent player at this level and I’m sure he was put out when Hunt came in. But if he’s reaction was to work as hard as he could to get his place back, he would have been on the bench today and had a chance to play a lot this year.

I agree with all of the above. It’s a shame because he is a good player but falling out with two managers in a row implies a flaw in his character. Should have just worked hard and got his head down . He would have definitely hot back into the team

Tbf I’ve just heard the interview and RW states that it’s nothing to do with ability or character, it’s because they need to free up wages and they have Hunt as well as Sweeney and Ogie who can cover LB.

To be fair Wellens said he's been told to find a new club to free up funds. Hunt, James, Sweeney and Ogie can all cover left back - So Wood has been told he can move on to free up funds for the midfielder.

I’ve heard the interview.

If things are as Richie says - Connor has been told on the opening day of the season he can clear off and is being left out of the squad when he should clearly be in it -then the club are behaving like fannies.

Freeing up funds? I thought we have been close to signing a player for past few weeks. Did we not have funds in place to do that then

That’s bull shine.

Woods is being told to clear off because we have Hunt. It’s nothing to do with the midfield position.

RW is a liar then, if people are analysing his pre and post match comments.

This is how football has always worked though, players come and go for various reasons.

Both statements can be separately true in as much as if a player has an attitude problem they can go and Wood is surplus to requirements due to Hunt's arrival. Perhaps Wood's reaction to the new signing made RW's mind up for him.

TBH, Connor Wood is better than Sweeney who I think is only NL standard .
