After struggling last year, Chris Wood has turned into a completely different player this season. Wood has scored over 46% of Leeds’ goals in the Championship this season and after scoring his 23rd and 24th of the season against Brighton, Wood will be aiming for the 30 mark with eight games remaining.
Wood’s exploits have seen him nominated for the Championship Player of the Year award. Wood will face stiff competition from Newcastle’s Dwight Gayle and Brighton & Hove Albion’s Anthony Knockaert.
Leeds fans have been reacting on Social Media to Wood’s nomination – here are a few Tweets:

Genuinely if Wood doesn't win this it's a disgrace https://t.co/94FUEWYcUb

Rightly so! Did a podcast last night with a Newcastle fan & Sheff Wed fan and both picked out Wood as their Player of the Season. https://t.co/3LPphb5PBo

If you look at what the other sides have spent and where they've been last few years, it's got to go to Woody. #lufc https://t.co/deLUJyNMBI
