2022/23 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[Eggs]

He’s broken mate. Id compare him to a Hyundai tiburon. Looks good at the beginning but a complete wreck and not worth repairing anymore.

Frank and thelwell gambled here.

….if we do manage to get runs of games out of him, it’ll be a bonus but it was always high risk not bringing an effective option in before the season started.

 

[BlueStevie35]

This is correct.
High heels weaken the ligaments in the leg.

Incorrect

Further proof that he's consistently played through injuries for this club yet the same faces will have go at the player rather than the complete ineptitude of the club to protect him and provide a proper alternative

The club are doing a speed-run in devaluing one of their most valuable assets

He had all of last season off.

It's heads, shoulders, knees and toes with him

 

[TheBlueGibbon]

Expected back for Wolves on Boxing Day.

 

[davek]

Wolves must be bricking it.

 

[Nymzee]

So we've been playing him with a knee injury, a dislocated shoulder and now a thigh problem. Sound.

you'll probably find that most players are playing with some kind of niggle.

I'm not sure they class as niggles nor having 3 at once

Spot on.

The same old chumps on the thread who absolutely revel in posting bile about the lad would never countenance that he might not be 100%. The club have managed him poorly IMO.

none of us really know the extent of each injury or the conversations about risk or management/mitigation of risk. We are all second guessing and all very frustrated that he isn't playing and isn't playing well when he does.

 

[ParkhallToffee]

Sounds like the lad is about ready to become glue

 

[ToffeeTim]

He has barely played in the last 15 months. I'm not sure I can understand the argument that this is the club's fault for making him play through injuries. At some point the only way you know if your body can cope with the intensity of matches, is by playing matches.

We just need to accept that he is now a bit part player and he will get injured a lot if we start him any time he is fit. We will get far more out of him by relying on him far less.

It's awful luck for the player. I've never heard of someone hurting a hamstring and shoulder at the same time. But we knew another run of injuries was very possible, if not probable, so not acting last summer to sign a replacement, was a huge error of judgement and one that could cost us in May.

Much to my personal chagrin, I’m yet to see how Rondon is less effective than eithier of our striking options, or embarrassingly worse, not a better target man than either, given our abject failure to produce decent & productive footy.

Have you ever considered watching rugby instead?

Nah, see enough backwards passes watching us.

DCL preparation for Wolves game progressing as expected
