Calvert-Lewin??? How long are we going to keep starting him. All round game abysmal again against City. Keep hearing excuses but reality is that he's finished.

 

[Sharpattack]

A must win.

He’d be a different player in a different system. He’s feeding off scraps and his confidence is dying. He was good under Ancelotti. Ok he’s fit now but Dycheball is killing him and all our forward players really.

We need to be hitting the byline more often and getting the ball across to Calvert-Lewin. Dyche expects him to do the holding up, the flicking on and the collection of loose balls.
We have Calvert-Lewin who's best spell was as a predatory striker, Beto who's main asset seems to be running in behind and Chermitti, who I havent seen enough of to judge. Trouble is for me that the only one suited to the style we are playing is Beto, but I'm not convinced he's good enough.....yet.

So the question is, do we change our style, or our striker? I'm sure the only option open for us currently is to persevere and hope for the best. If Calvert-Lewin only scores 2-3 more this season, let's hope they're important ones.

….Brian Labone once said it’s difficult to beat a team 3 times in a season, can only hope we can overcome Palace.

Hsppier now Onana is back available. He was fantastic against them earlier in the year. Would love Doucoure back but doubt he'll be ready.

Massive week on and off the field.

How far off is the Duke?

Big game this. We've tended to go in clusters of results for a while now so a win could set us off on a run given our upcoming fixtures. I'm hopeful rather than expectant given our poor home form.

Hard to know from Dyche's comments but he said he is not back on the grass yet.

He's on the grass, just not the first team grass! Which says to me 2 or 3 weeks yet

Best we have by a distance especially in Dyche ball

 

[Blue Willy]

Must be close to being on the bench next week, if hes training on some form of grass. Dyche will definitely know how important the Palace game is!

 

[judge]

I'd play Gueye. Think he's earned it with his last two performances and the team is a lot mote competitive with him in the side.
