Wood to Feature in Carling Cup but Loan Delayed

Chris Wood will get plenty of football in tonight's carling cup match against Leyton Orient but boss Roberto Di Matteo has once again reiterated that he will need to sign another striker before the youngster will be allowed to go out on loan.

The manager has admitted that Wood may have already gone if Ishmael Miller had not picked up an injury and with several clubs showing interest in him, tonight could be a big night for the young striker.

It's clear that everyone at the club is in favour of a loan move for Chris so it's important that he takes this opportunity to impress. Playing regular football and scoring goals is the next step in his development into a premiership striker. A move to one of the more progressive Championship teams would be great for fans but he may prefer to spend time in League 1, or even overseas, where the standard may be a little lower and opportunities present themselves a little more frequently and he has the chance to develop his goal scoring instincts.
