2024/25 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

Would have to score for that to happen.

Yep, hopefully tomorrow

It's the most important business case of all, surviving. We do that with DCL more so than Beto.

Without any agenda whatsoever I'm not convinced that's the case anymore. If we survive, the difference won't be DCL scoring 6 vs Betos 4. It'll be completely down to the defence again. He looks completely checked out, and if not that, spent.

It's not just goals scored. We fall apart up top as a team with Beto starting.

DCL is our best forward

But let's be honest, none of our attacking players are good enough. We need a complete overhaul in attack, but the club for some reason won't prioritise it.

Yeh, but we ain't getting that this season, so if we want to survive we play our best striker whether people like it or not.

We CANNOT go into the new stadium in the Championship ffs.

That is exactly why we shouldn't rely on stats, they never tell the full story.

I agree, but he needs to play better too.

 

[GambianToffee]

When does he score regularly? He averages 6 a season.

As I said “some time ago”.

 

[bilyaletdinov_]

could do himself a real favour tomorrow and score a goal

I don't think the difference between us staying up and going down is dcl though, it's branthwaite/pickford and the defence in general.

Gestures wildly at how toothless we've been for 18 months with DCL up front under Dyche

 

[Nymzee]

He does, and if he's awful, he'll be dropped.

I never said he's the difference between us up and down, but he's certainly one of the factors.

Play him and support him.

Think the league is more competitive this year and our squad slightly worse.

I heard that fee and terms between clubs were agreed . Wages were the issue … but he took 4 punches to knock out a horse … players that are worth 200k plus knock them out in one … 2-3 punches is worth 100-200k a week… lewin was in the 50-100k wage bracket and he could not agree too
