'Fantastic'... Courtney Sweetman-Kirk really likes one Nottingham Forest player

Courtney Sweetman-Kirk has raved about Nottingham Forest striker Chris Wood during today’s coverage.

The co-commentator spoke during the first half of Forest playing Brighton this afternoon.

So, what has Sweetman-Kirk said about Forest striker Wood? Let’s take a closer look…

What Courtney Sweetman-Kirk said about Forest striker Chris Wood

Well, it would appear that the pundit is a fan of Forest star Wood and she spoke about him earlier today.

Wood was returning to the team for the first time since January after injuring his hamstring.

He started the game in attack, with Taiwo Awoniyi starting the game on the bench.

Sweetman-Kirk spoke about Wood’s inclusion in the starting eleven and believes he has some serious quality.

She said on Peacock: “Chris Wood is fantastic in the air but you’ve got to get the ball into him.”

The 32-year-old was back in the starting line-up after weeks out injured and in fairness, he was quiet in the first half.

Forest lined up with no natural wingers at the AMEX Stadium and Wood was pretty much feeding on scraps.

Forest will have to be better in the second half of the clash and they desperately need their fortunes to change.

Wood is the leading Forest goalscorer this season and the Reds will be relying on his goals to stay in the division.

The striking department is one that is intriguing at the City Ground – and Forest need all the forward options they can get at the moment.

Wood signed for the club from Newcastle in January 2023 and ultimately he’s been striving for consistency.

Forest need their top goalscorer to stay fit and firing and hopefully, he can score a few more goals between now and the end of the season.
