Oh I see, the feller with Oliver Cromwell as his avatar doesn't rate the Irish international and our best RFB for about 30 years.

Ok.

Oliver Cromwell? lol

I rate him, he just never learned to cross consistently and has lost his pace due to age and an injury. None of these are wrong.

I'm very wary of this focus on DCL. We've done alright without him. To have him in the side now (not that it'll happen anyway) would disturb us.

You have to cope with change, injury, suspension, referrals to PL etc - its part of being a professional footballer, hes the best forward at the club - fit, hes back in the team mate. My only concern would be his match fitness and sharpness, hes been 10 weeks out.

It'll be a panic sub if he does get on the pitch.

But you said he'll never play for us again.

No it won't. I expect him to be on the bench tomorrow and we haven't exactly had many options off the bench this season. Simms at Chelsea is about the only impact I can remember a sub having for us this year.

Dave contradicting himself?!
Unheard of.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

You can support the players who are playing whilst also hoping DCL gets fit and starts playing again

This isn't an either/or situation

Like it disturbed us against Arsenal when it looked like we had an actual premier league centre forward playing for us?

I think the discussion is moot tbh.

I dont see him back on Saturday or any time this season.

 

[DualityNSNO]

We've done alright without him according to Dave though. Goals for fun without our strikers, rising up the ranks, definitely not relegation form without a striker.

I'm still saying that.

Where has all this talk of him playing come from, btw. Dyche again closed the door to that yesterday unless I'm much mistaken...

 

[Nymzee]

I'm still saying that.

How can you be confident he'll never play for us again and then say if he does it'll be as a sub???

Nah we are absolutely sound and in rampant form.

We've won 1 of our last 7 matches and playing some free flowing, free scoring with our multiple options up top.

It's just greedy of us to be asking for DCL to play a part.

Descartes.

Your blind rage for your own countrymen is absolutely hilarious by the way lol
