2022/23 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[Joey66]

Out 9f his bubble wrap now just needs ahead,p from midfield.

 

[blueblood]

good effort today. If he can somehow play every game between now and the end of the season I think we’ll be ok. Doucoure’s energy and pressing in midfield with DCL up top will help us play much higher up the pitch.

 

[Toffeepot]

That turn was insane

Bergkampesque
He improves us so much all round, Centrebacks hate him and he creates space for others
Looking forward to Doucs making late runs with Doms hold up play and flick ons

 

[edge]

Did well , and we need him

 

[tonka1878]

Please make a difference. We’ve had the “it will be fine when Dom is fit” since the sweaty waiter’s tenure. Feels like we are still waiting. Please be worth it

I didn't see much of the game, but I did see the turn and missed shot. Was he worth it and could he be our saviour??

 

[tonka1878]

We're supposed to be grateful?

You're supposed to be miserable from the comfort of your own home.

 

[tonka1878]

Keeps maupay away. That'll do every day.

Is that a Haiku?

 

[NathDogg]

Great to see him back playing and for the 90 mins, absolutely made up for the lad. He’s miles better than anyone else we’ve got currently.

Stay well Dom, in all aspects of your health.

If we get players around him and we will create chances.

Some people need to admit they were wrong and just welcome the lad back - hope Dyche giving him the time to get right proves a master stroke - he can really help us.

 

[Rugby Toffee]

Surprised me actually - we almost had a threat up front

 

[Nymzee]

I’m not getting my hopes up that he’ll make Thursday. Still don’t think he should have been kept on for 90 after 70 midweek.

 

[micknick]

Again Dyche mentioned ‘his head’ have said all along more to this than just the phantom injury.

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

Having him on the pitch pushed them back unti mid way through the second half when he began to tire and drop off a little. Still good see him back as we are better at football with him playing.

 

[Harryflashman]

Sorry if this has been mentioned but I can’t get my head around that he hasn’t played for what over 2 months or whatever then he doesn’t return with 15 mins off the bench last week but effectively a full 90.

It’s not a dig at the lad or a conspiracy theory just feels a bit unusual

We’re definitely a better team with him in it

It may (a huge emphasis on may as it's purely conjecture / speculation) relate to what @micknick said and others have considered over time...

... his period out of the first team may not be related to a physical injury alone. He's been training for a while now, so his physical fitness may be quite strong now.

There'll be lots of people who'll dismiss this potentiality or respond to it with some crass remark, but mental health can play a huge impact on an individual.
