2023/24 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[YoboCopter]

All jokes aside id rather have james beattie

 

[vagablonde - kopite]

He,s rubbish, just what you would expect a struggling lower echelon club to have up front. Sadly our modern day fanbase don't know any better, so talk him up as some kind of top striker.

 

[Goodisongang]

What's his goals per game ratio, 1 goal in 4 or 5, or thereabouts?

Around 1 in 5 over the last 3 years, and I'm sorry but just because we aren't winning the league doesn't mean we should be expecting to have a striker who based on that average scores 7/8 times a season, that's ludicrous.

 

[JimmyJeffers]

He’s dead out of form and needs some bench time to regain it. Problem is Beto isn’t showing anything better now either.

Beto moves with the grace of a swan on an ice rink. He’s basically a slight upgrade of Denis Stracqualursi.

MOTD - stated his run in on goal far too straight did not create any angle to slot the ball easier home - they stated a player of form this should be sorted in training .... plus the ball had to rise into the net in the corner .....Doucs offside goal did that ..... remember though how many through balls does he get ? We need a playmaker - to provide balls like that, in fact it was Dujama who passed the ball & he had an awful game ....

Isnt he top for big chances missed by an attacker this season?

And to think some people say he would get into some top 6 teams

You can expect all you want but he's our main striker, that's it for now. To his credit, once he got fit, and with a bit of decent management, we secured more points than previous seasons in the same period meaning we should be safe.

He's not playing well currently, but sadly we don't have any other options aside from Beto, and given the financial situation it's unlikely we'll be getting any sort of meaningful competition for his place.

Second.

To a guy who starts for the side top of the league.

What he said ^^

Can we drop this, its depressing enough already today.

I had my arms folded when he ran through for that one and one, and I never once unfolded them because I was that confident he wouldn’t score.

 

[jayden28]

Think he'll do just fine in the championship with us next season the way its going.

 

[JLW]

I have no hate towards DCL I just don’t think he is very good at his job, a purple patch once a blue moon doesn’t cut it sadly.

I know myself and his fan boys want him to do well but the proofs in the pudding. He ain’t that good lads.

he didn’t create his chance he doesn’t get assists, he was a few headers sometimes about 40 yards from goal! Great

 

[chippy1722]

Once he has a second to think about a finish he misses, not a natural finisher but never has been really. He definitely looks void of confidence recently I was half hoping the red card stuck just to give Beto a go, Jury’s still out on him but he needs game to time to decide either way.

Not denying he’s out of form but we have absolutely terrible crossers of ball right now. Rarely see quick, low balls into the area. Everything is lumped in. In the hope of a flick on and someone picking up the second ball.

I said exactly the same to my mate at the game, he should have created an angle, good strikers do that
