I would imagine if Wood is fit, Dyche will play him, probably been desperate to get his guy back!
I do agree Kalimuendo needs game time, surprising he's somehow ended up below Taiwo.
Dyche type of striker isn't he. Our version of Beto, dyche loves a big strong striker, wouldn't be surprised to see us go for Dyvobk in jan
Tbf watching the Porto game, all those balls up to Jesus that he couldn't do anything with, can see why Dyche would like Wood (or Taiwo). I wonder whether your man Kali is any good at holding the ball up?
I don't actually think Wood is much good at holding the ball up , it's a weaker part of his game i'd say especially for a big lad. Having said that i don't think i've seen anyone get fouled as often when trying to shield the ball as him and get so little in terms of free kicks in his favour.
Wood is outright poor at holding the ball up. This is what I couldn’t get my head around after we signed him before someone pointed out that isn’t his game. Jesus is much better as an out ball, both for him to collect and hold up / lay off and obviously as someone who can run channels or in behind.

I expect a result.
That's true over 18 months on average.
But they look like they might have turned a corner.
Just looking at their last 5 Prem games, they've won 4 (vs Chelsea, Sunderland, Liverpool and Brighton) and lost 1 (away vs Brentford).
In the same time (and I know 4 of them were under the last guy, so fresh starts and all that), we've drawn 1 (Burnley) and lost 4 (Sunderland, Newcastle, Chelsea and Bournemouth).
In those 5 games, they've scored 11 times and we've scored 1.
Not to be doom and gloom. I'm hopeful and I'm relieved we didn't have to play in the cup this week.
I'd love a result, but I'm certainly not expecting one. Not until we can remember how to score goals.

Not a great sample size but specifically based on long balls against Porto I'm not sure Jesus won a header or kept possession. Actually N'Doye was surprisingly effective at this I thought. I'm referring specifically to the ability to win headers from long balls as opposed to anything else.

Can't see Taiwo starting over Jesus surely?
RE: Nottingham Forest - Manchester United - Salvatore Matrecano - 30-10-2025
Apparently:
Wood out, maybe Ok for Leeds
Zinchenko out longer than they expected
Bakwa out
Gunn, knee ligament
RE: Nottingham Forest - Manchester United - Spangles - 30-10-2025
Got to have faith in Jesus .

Was reported on September 12th that he'd be out for three months so I wouldn't expect him to play this year.
Hopefully he won't be included in Nigeria's AFCON squad and will stay with Forest in Jan/Feb.
RE: Nottingham Forest - Manchester United - The reds - 30-10-2025
Dyche also mentioned that Kalimuendo is getting back to his true fitness.

He wasn’t named in the 25 man Prem squad, so he can’t play before Jan

Ah yes, good point.
