2022/23 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[Wat Tyler]

There is, but Dyche is pretty direct if an injury is obviously one that's going to sideline a player.

Don’t know mate, he said DCL was “touch and go” for the derby and we never seen him for ages

 

[Fralahna]

It's like that in all physically tasking pro sports - it's part of the reason why you see players retire and develop limps or other pains cuz they're off the constant meds.

Never heard of that. Feel like I've been completely naive to the physical toll it takes in a grown adult

 

[Cels]

Good call in my opinion

Yes, it was a very good call. Apparently, Dominic Calvert-Lewin wanted to play on and 'see how it goes', but Dyche wasn't having any of it, thankfully.

Good move. We need Dom for Wolves and Bournemouth. Will ve key in keeping us up

 

[Carlito]

Hopefully, it's just a case of Dyche not wanting to admit that he gave up at 0-2, especially when we'd like it if Arsenal could remember the importance of sporting integrity at Forest next week.

Yup, pretty sure the words “precautionary measure” were used when he took him off against Arsenal. Then he missed 10 games or so

hopefully not the case this time

No Dom no party

 

[JohnRoss23]

I thought Maupay looked decent today so that has to make some feel a bit better

 

[diggerdestroyer]

Rather Simms but either way, without Dom, we’re in big trouble

This isn’t Dyche’s fault, it isn’t Dom’s fault, it’s the boards fault for leaving us so horrifically short of forward options

When Dyche has had his few good players available we’ve looked good, at times very good

this board and owner are completely insane and due to that, it prob isnt their fault either .

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

Again, Dyche likes to pick his words carefully. Am more confident after hearing him say Dom wanted to see how it went, and that if 0-0 may not have took him off. Hopefully that’s code for he’ll be fine lads, save your spare undies til next weekend.

That’s my view. If DCL wanted to give it a go it can’t be that bad. Many on here would think he would cry off if he broke a finger nail

If that’s code why not just say he will be fine for Saturday?

Clutching at straws maybe, but that was before Dyche and his staff got him as fit as he's apparently ever been. Fingers crossed he's okay.

You can't always trust the player though, just look at Stuart Pearce

In 1999, England’s most rugged left-back broke his leg after a collision with Micah Hyde of Watford at Upton Park and yet hobbled on until half-time. West Ham boss Harry Redknapp told reporters after the match that Pearce got his boot back on at the break because he wanted to go out for the second period.

“Stuart tried to come back for the second half,” Redknapp explained. “He put his boot back on and said 'I'll give it a go' "

Yeah we're gonna need a few pairs next weekend so pointless going through them now as it'll only lead to giving to do a couple more washes through the week.
