'I'm fighting for my place'
The 23-year-old was on the bench for Southampton's dramatic 2-1 opening-day win against Wrexham, but made the starting XI and helped to keep a clean sheet against the Cobblers.
"I feel fit, I'm happy to be injury free," Wood told BBC Radio Solent.
"Now I'm just fighting for my place. We've got plenty of talent in the squad. We've got two XIs that are good, that can play in the Championship week-in, week-out.
"It's about being consistent every day - and playing on nights like this, giving it everything I can. That's all I can do."
Wood made 11 Premier League appearances for the Saints last season, including an eight-game run in December and January.

Nottingham Forest remain interested in Mateus Fernandes
Nottingham Forest are interested in signing Southampton midfield ace Mateus Fernandes this summer (The Telegraph). The Tricky Trees want more additions after James McAtee and Fernandes remains 'high on their list'. It remains to be seen if they can get him to the City Ground. Fernandes would be a stellar addition for Forest after catching the eye at Southampton last term following his move from Sporting CP. The 21-year-old netted three times and recorded six assists in 43 appearances. Former midfielder Jo Tessem told BBC Radio Solent Southampton podcast that Fernandes 'is becoming an ultimate Premier League midfielder.' West Ham have already seen a £30 million bid for the Nottingham Forest target rejected, with Southampton asking for around £58 million. If Forest can negotiate the fee down to around £40 million, it would represent outstanding value for a player of his age, talent, and trajectory. Fernandes has drawn praise from former coaches Ivan Juric and Russell Martin. He has been lauded for his relentless work rate, tactical intelligence, and strong mentality, qualities Forest need in the Premier League next season. His energy in midfield, combined with his creativity, would give Nottingham Forest both a reliable engine and a match-winning edge in key fixtures. Forest are preparing for a return to Europe for the first time in nearly 30 years and need quality additions to the ranks. Nuno Espirito Santo's men are now in the Europa League and can pull a higher calibre of players this summer. The Nottinghamshire outfit have already signed Dan Ndoye and are close to agreeing deals for James McAtee and Omari Hutchinson. The Tricky Trees are not done in the market with other stars like Arnaud Kalimuendo, Yunus Musah, Adama Traore, and Fernandes on the radar. Elsewhere, Callum Hudson-Odoi is close to agreeing a new contract with Nottingham Forest. His original contract with the Tricky Trees was a three-year deal and is set to expire next summer.

Premier League and EFL at odds over redistribution deal
The Premier League have seen their latest attempt to tweak how football's wealth is distributed hit a roadblock. According to The Athletic, the English Football League (EFL) rejected a redistribution proposal just weeks before a landmark bill introducing an independent football regulator was passed. The offer was made in April and backed by Premier League chief executive Richard Masters. However, it fell short of the EFL's long-standing demand for 25% of the top flight's television rights revenue. That has been a huge sticking point in negotiations about bridging the financial gap between the Premier League and lower divisions. Speaking in the House of Lords on July 15, West Ham United vice-chairman Karren Brady revealed that the EFL board had turned down what she described as a 'credible and generous' proposal. Brady is one of many voices that have campaigned against the incoming regulator and warned that it could entrench a 'closed shop' among the league's elite clubs. However, she cautioned that the Premier League's 'future success' is not guaranteed, pointing to the growing threat from FIFA and UEFA expanding their competitions and commercial reach. Despite the setback, the Premier League remains hopeful that they can reach a deal without outside intervention. The independent regulator will be formally established by November, although it is expected to take time to become fully operational. For now, the Premier League and EFL will carry on with their existing arrangements without a deadline to focus on as far as any of the authorities potentially involved in any discussions are concerned. The debate stems from the Premier League being cautious about surrendering too much of its broadcasting income. They fear it could weaken the league's competitive edge and reduce their ability to invest in both top-tier football and the game as a whole. On the other hand, the EFL argues that a larger share of the game's richest revenue stream is essential for the sustainability of its 72 clubs, many of which face ongoing financial challenges.

'Important' factor in Middlesbrough transfer planning after training ground decision
ROB Edwards has started the season playing with a back three and wing-backs at Middlesbrough, but says the club will continue to sign players who are comfortable in various different systems. Edwards favoured wing-backs during his time in charge of Luton and has played with a back three throughout pre-season and in the first two games of the campaign. But he has repeatedly stressed that Boro have prioritised versatile players in the transfer market, and that will remain the case in the final weeks of the window. Callum Brittain, who arrived from Blackburn, is equally as comfortable playing at right-back in a back four or as a right wing-back, while new recruit Sontje Hansen has played most of his football as a winger but can also operate in a central role, and will initially be used as a No.10 at Boro. And Boro are now closing in on the signing of Manchester City's Sverre Nypan, another versatile player who is comfortable playing as a central midfielder, attacking midfielder, winger and even at centre-forward. Such signings give Edwards the opportunity to vary the system, both in-games and between matches. "If players can do both and play in different systems, like Callum Brittain, who can do both, those characteristics are key for me," explained the head coach. "They're really important, so we can go to a back four like we did [against Doncaster] when we're chasing things more. To have that flexibility in games will help us." Although Edwards played with a back three at Luton, he says he came to Boro with an open mind on formations. "What we saw and found and felt on the training pitch when we first came in helped us lean towards where we're at at the moment," he said.

The forward said: 'For the last two years I've played in the highest competition in Holland. "I do expect it will be tougher here than in Holland, so maybe I will need a little bit of time, but it can also be the other side. "We will have to see. I hear a lot about how in Holland it is more about football whereas here it is a lot more physical. "I've not had chance yet, but I think I will be asking Million Manhoef from Stoke how it is to play here. But I hear from some people that it is a really tough competition "I think it will be a great test and I want to take that test. I enjoy the challenge. "I am 23 now and I've learned a lot. But there is still more to learn and more to grow. I am excited to be here and hopefully we can make it a great season." Hansen added: 'I'm delighted it's finally done. I'm very happy to be here and very excited to play for Boro. "When I first heard of Middlesbrough's interest it was good. I wanted to hear more and had the meeting - they came to my city and we had a good conversation. "It was a little bit long for me after that, but we kept in touch, and now it's finally done. 'I'm a team player - I love to make combinations and I'm also really fast. I like to dribble both with my left and my right, I like to cross and, of course, I love getting goals and assists. "But certainly, I think for the fans, I want them to enjoy watching me play. I think I can do beautiful things with the ball."
