2023/24 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[LucBesson]

If he was missing chance after chance I would be concerned, but hes not, so im pretty chill.

Put him a team that knows how to attack and he will score goals, as we saw when he had Digne, Hamez and Number 10 supplying him.

But hey ho.

I'm more concerned by the fact he's not missing chance after chance. At least then we'd be creating them.

BTW, with any of our other strikers, we would be 6+ points worse off.
Can’t understand some of the shouts in this thread. He is shot for goal scoring confidence. But does so much more for this team.

How did he cost us today ? not one chance - Beto had two

Why is beto getting chances and calvert lewin not?

The rest of the team hate DCL and refuse to create for him.

I suspect you would be off the pitch after the first tackle.

Ah yes, just like Dom for much of the last 3 seasons.

How do we know. The others haven't had a chance. We have kept playing a striker who hasn't scored in 20-21 games

On what evidence, how many starts have they both had together - the negativity of this Manager is doomed as when we get a buyer he will be gone ....

Just blame one player every week - Beto is a different forward to DCL - so a good partnership could be there .... but let's fetch Ashley Cole on - hey ho .... not Chermitti just any has been on 2.5 million of wages over 2 years at 38 years old .... .....

2 both against Luton, we lost both

Did you offer your shirt to Nyarko that time?

Just curious. Thought about doing it to DCL?

I was half hoping branthwaite said to him, 1 half fecking chance i need and i put it in the top corner. Hold my beer lad. I'll pop up next week and do your job again.

Was awful today with all those chances created for him and through balls played to him.

I heard Mickey Keane laughs at him in training and tells DCL he'll have his slot soon. "Dyche loves me kid. I can score blammos too y'know".

Neither of them are taking them

 

[Gilbert..]

Neither of them are taking them

I know but it was more the point to joey as he says its all about calvert lewin getting no service. It was the same team for the forward who came on with 20 minutes to go got two chances.

 

[cronullasharks]

Even a 200 game barren spell and he's still a better option than Beto.

 

[blulouie]

How did he cost us today ? Not one chance - Beto had two - the dire team formation with two slow wingers & a poor midfield does not help, we need to be more attacking - end of -

Not so long ago we were top of the chances created stats. Dom didn't score then either.
He's badly out of form and has neen for some time , his overall game is suffering .
Something has to change.
