2023/24 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[Eggs]

Hes 20 in Feb so will be 2 years behind Garners development of course.

I would be seeing players like him as rotation options. The boy Hackney seems good but the next age group above wharton.

….all these grandiose terms like ‘rotation options’. We need players who can play, you build from the top down. Anyway, this is the DCL thread.

 

[GoldenToffee]

Seems like he's training so can't be a bad injury.

Hoping they're just keeping him fresh and not risking him unless he's 99% fit. It's remarkable that we won a game with Beto up front by himself, but the fella was absolutely useless when he had the ball and otherwise anonymous and without any impact at all, so we really need to get DCL back in.

Would be great to see him get 2x 60 minutes in the fans games this week.

 

[Blue Willy]

Yeah, 60 mins for Dom max in any of the next few games imo. Still got to keep an eye on him.

you're obsessed with age mate
There are two ages in Football
Old and Young(ironically)

 

[GoldenToffee]

Is apparently "back in the thinking" so here's hoping he starts tomorrow. We need more than 2 points from these next 2 home games.

 

[Eggs]

….good news that he’s a likely starter but I’m always wary of a footballer feeling muscle tightness, particularly with his history. The other point is that players in his situation often protect the muscle, even subconsciously. They play in 3rd gear.

 

[edge]

His record against Newcastle is good hope he starts.

 

[Victus]

Just hope he isn't rushed back here.

 

[roydo]

Just hope he isn't rushed back here.

Managers record of managing players return is sound.

 

[Blue peter]

Given this weeks results (all losses for teams around us - except Bournemouth)…I would imagine he has a little more latitude to rest DCL until Sunday if needed, so if he plays, I’d be fairly confident they are certain he is fully fit to play

 

[Victus]

Managers record of managing players return is sound.

Onana should have been rested the first sign on his injury but he played him anyway.

 

[tonka1878]

He just made a sliding tackle helping win the ball back, right in front of Dyche then seconds later had a header saved! Thought it deserved recognition as you don't get that from every PL striker.

 

[Kurt.]

2 yards out and blasts it over the bar ffs

 

[Bedfordblue]

Miss of the season contender.

Would be even better if he could net from 4 yds out..
