Back when guys like Joel Bowden could play down back and literally not go within 60m of an opponent, Wood would (heh) kill it across half back.
These days I think you have to be able to defend first, then set up, so although he would be a good intercept marker down there, I think he would quickly get exploited.
I still think he could transition into a big midfielder in due course, but even there he needs to work on some defensive stuff before that happens.
