Wood Affirms Southampton’s Commitment After Villa Defeat

Southampton centre-back Nathan Wood offered his remarks to BBC Radio Solent after the team’s loss to Aston Villa on Saturday. Wood conveyed his personal sentiment regarding the recent fixtures, stating: “I’ve come away from this week with playing two Premier League games – which is what I want – but not winning hurts.” He further stressed the squad’s unity and fighting spirit, adding: “We’re never going to give up as a team. We’re really together and we keep battling no matter what. I don’t think you can ever question the commitment of the boys.” Addressing the team’s challenges, Wood concluded: “The problem isn’t the philosophy or style – it’s the last bit. We need to score more goals. It feels like we’re so close, but we are a long way off [avoiding relegation].”
