2023/24 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[Nymzee]

Interesting, pray tell how many seasons has he started more than 20 of the 38 league matches for those managers? How many seasons has he scored more than 6 goals? He has 12 non-pen goals in the past 3 years and almost half of those were tap-ins.

Is a tap-in 0.5 of a goal, or 0.75? I can't remember these days

Its one we can easily replace with anyone, unless you are convinced hes the only one who can do that job. TBF if thats the standard it does explain our recruitment

 

[PeregrineT]

Hey, maybe we should set up our Striker to score some tap ins then, hey?

We did, that doesnt include the ones hes missed. But DO ignore my other questions though as they arent convenient.

How many season tickets do we have at the minute and what is average cost ?

 

[Kendal]

Hate the red boots , ditch them dom and get blue ones!!!

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

DCL has regressed massively in my opinion. Hope he gets going with five left to play.

It’s a full goal but it’s still relevant as when the team inevitably has a long spell when they stop creating sitters, then we have a striker that has a long spell of not scoring goals, like we’ve just seen.

I watched a compilation of Solanke’s goals this season - lots that he created himself or were half chances at best. Pains me to say as he’s long been mocked on here, but we could do with a striker like that.

Due a goal v them.

Cmon Dom, if fit, I would love Bella ciao ringing out at the end against those Tory facist rats from across the park.

 

[Tony’s Carp]

Good news but if in any doubt he can't be risked tomorrow night with three massive games to follow. Chermiti's been patient, time to make himself a hero.

Everton under Dyche won't become a team to create 6-7 big chances every game. So a striker must sometimes use the only moment of a game. DCL had a big chance against Forest, Burnley and Bournemouth, ok a fluke goal after willing to press and a pen, but still missed a big one one from open play respectively set pieces.

You see Bournemouth against us, Solanke had one chance the whole game, he took it. Chris Wood luckily missed against us, but he scored 13 goals with 34 shots in the whole season.

Don't believe that DCL is worse than those 2 on full potential.

Chermiti should not be starting vs that lot. It’s what Dyche did with simms last year. It’s poor management to bring in a kid for this one game.

Start Danjuma then?

I don’t see much choice if DCL is a risk because we can’t take that risk. Chermiti was bought to be third choice striker, IMO it’s worse management to have him waiting around all year then still not play him in the exact circumstances he’s been waiting for.

 

[Drico]

….i think DCL is playing in 3rd gear, it happens subconsciously with footballers protecting big muscle injuries.

It happened with James McCarthy. Top form before serious hamstring tear and when he came back he was poor. Then he let the handbrake off in a couple of games (Arsenal, Liverpool) where he was outstanding but the muscle popped again.

I have my doubts he’ll return to the high standards he once hit.

Yeah, I think he's finished. It happens. We can't rely on him anyway, with the injuries, so we need to ensure we have proper cover in the attack next season. Going into another season with DCL as your main striker is asking for Championship football.

He's a centre forward,we've paid decent dough for him,Beto and Calvert Lewin will probably sit this one out,the kid should be chomping at the bit for a chance in a derby,yes Simms didn't work last time but over the period lets face it our first team strikers haven't exactly stepped up to the plate either in these games,we are always so over protective of our youths.
