Nottingham Forest striker Chris Wood speaks to BBC Sport about his goalscoring run, his manager Nuno Espirito Santo and feeling appreciated.
"If you go up one side of the mountain, you are going to have to eventually come down the other side."
"You go through these mountains and waves through the whole season. It's not just a case of skyrocketing. That's what I got told by Dan Ashworth when I was at West Brom: It's not always going to be plain sailing. Under boss Nuno Espirito Santo, he has scored 19 goals in 28 top-flight appearances and says he has found a manager who both understands and values him.
"I'm not a man who is going to beat two or three players and stick in in the top corner, I'm a man who relies on service. If they can't supply me, I can't score."The six or seven loans I had as a youngster taught me a lot about being appreciated and valued. It's not always about you as a person or player, it's how you connect and build with a team. A lot of it is out of your control.
"I feel I can have an open and honest conversation with him. There's that mutual respect there and you don't always get that.
