Just wanted to offer my commiserations after your bad news today. L
Eastwood – you’ve bought a pup. He is really, not very good at all. He’s not a ‘box striker’, he won’t work channels, he can’t hold the ball up, and he’s got no pace. He’s got a decent first touch, and can hit the ball at a defender’s legs with great force though.
He has been such a divisive influence at Wolves it’s untrue. Some fans will tell you he hasn’t been given a chance. However a closer inspection will tell you it’s been around 30 hours since he scored a competitive goal against full time opposition. He’s just not good enough.
Many Wolves fans will use Eastwood as a stick to beat McCarthy with, after being frustrated with more Championship football, but trust me, he won’t succeed for you. I don’t know how you’d set up a team to utilise him, as he often comes deep to get the ball, plays a ball (often quite well) but then stands there chewing his gum, his work done. By his own admission, he’ll do ‘nothing for 80 minutes, then pop up with a goal’ – well, that may have been the case when he was knocking penalties away for Southend, but I’ve seen nothing to suggest he’ll be a good CCC striker. His positioning is terrible, he is selfish, he is lazy, his decision making is poor, he is slow and weak. His technique is his only redeeming quality, I’m afraid.
Sorry to put a dampener on things, but the thought of tens of thousands of football fans expecting Eastwood to be a force in this division again saddens me. It had a very negative effect on our club, and probably still will over the course of the season. Never before has a fans’ favourite done so little to achieve such high acclaim.
