Shearer has spoken previously about Wood and pointed out how his attributes were going to be a big help to Burnley's chances of survival.
"I like him, I like what he does for the team and he is the focal point for them. He is very good at occupying two centre halves.

"He can keep hold of it and bring other players into the game.
"He is horrible to play against and he won't give defenders a moment's peace."
