The result further strengthened Forest's survival chances.
Wood said afterwards: "It was very much enjoyable. First half was fantastic, we did extremely well. The first goal comes and then from there I think we commanded the game and took our chances very well.
"It is really nice (to score). Morgan (Gibbs-White) and I have a good connection, and he always tries to look for me. It is nice to be back on the scoresheet, it has been a long, tough season, tough mentally for me, but it is nice to be back and scoring."
On Elliot Anderson's goal, Wood added: "He is a massive part of us. He is an extraordinary man for what he has had to go through, him and his family over the last couple of weeks. It's tough and no one wishes that on anybody. He has done his mother proud and his family proud every time he has put on the shirt for us."
Under manager Vitor Pereira, Forest are now eight games unbeaten in all competitions.
Wood said: "He has done fantastically well, he's shaken us up and put his ideas into place and you can see that we are trying to take it on board. it is not the finished article. He has a long way to go for what he wants us to achieve, but we are slowly going in the right direction."
