Nathan wood what is going on

Wood chose the more difficult hibs move instead of league 1 as wanted to test himself however he did get 1 opportunity and think hibs lost 4 nil or something. Then hasn't got a chance since

So where would the exceptional talent get a first team game in senior football, which he needs?

League one or just below would be better than no football at all.

If he's not good enough for Hibs he must be way off our first team.

It's not as simple as that, talent is one thing, systems are another, working as a pairing is another. Trust of the manager is another, the risk with loanees is that they aren't always played because the manager doesn't want to invest in nurturing some other teams talent.

We saw that first hand when Nmecha was with us, barely given a chance not trust by our manager.....now look at him.
 
Is he any good? If he is then get him into our team. F*ck loaning him out. I think McClaren should write a book and I think we all should read it. That’s how you develop your young talent.
 
Recall and loan him out to a League One club that can guarantee him game time.

He should be in the first team next season.
 
He’s still only 19 so still lots of time to develop. A decent league 1 team will tell us a lot about his potential.

It is a bit of a worry he hasn’t had a sniff at Hibs. Needs to be playing against proper pros regularly, under 23s/ England youth teams etc all great but really doesn’t prepare you for playing against the likes of Michael Smith or that Milwall team yesterday.

Managers want results. If you're not good enough to provide then you don't get in the side.

Wood isn't good enough yet, Nmecha certainly wasn't when he was here. He wasn't picked because we wanted go develop our own players.

He was backup because he couldn't produce regularly, but even at that age his technical and tactical ability would have been way beyond Gestede who made more starts, and sub appearances.
