2023/24 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[Joey66]

I know but it was more the point to joey as he says its all about calvert lewin getting no service. It was the same team for the forward who came on with 20 minutes to go got two chances.

& missed them ? Great we drew - the worst offender was Harrison a chip to the back post we win 2-1 instead of trying to bend a worldy in .... he was poor today ... no mention just blame one man .....

 

[Joey66]

To right. Its pure madness questioning a forward who hasnt scored for half a season.

Not in our team no creativity I admit he has missed a few , but that will happen when you are starved of chances.....

Doesn't seem like Dyche wants to and doesn't seem like many fans want to. Seems like we may walk into the Championship unless DCL finds the net again because he and many fans think DCL is still the answer

As long as we have this obsession with lumping it up to the big guy up front then DCL will always play and won’t score goals.

Horrible way of playing football that only benefits the centre backs who get to hoof it as far away as they can.

Hatrick....nailed on.

The lad needs to get his groove back...

And soon! Hopefully in the run to the end of season.

I agree we struggle to play out but DCL has lost his desire IMO to battle as he once did

Have you a stat for Beto's cameo roles

Beto's stats since DCL last scored a goal

118 days
494 minutes played (DCL has played 1,545)
2 goals scored (1 every 247 mins)
2 Assists (1 every 247 mins vs DCL 1 every 772 mins)
5 shots on target (1 every 99 mins vs DCL 1 every 119 mins)
13 shots off target (1 every 38 mins vs DCL 1 every 65 mins)

So Beto has more goals scored and better shots on, shots off & assists per minute.

The stats are stacked in Beto's favour.

I think we all agree that he’s not a a player who suits this team or tactics so I don’t see the point in playing him. Sorry Dom.

 

[Deulofeumygod]

He must be so bored of jumping for the ball every 5 minutes and getting yelled at when he misses it.

Everytime Beto comes on, I swear we start playing to feet more. It’s bizarre.

Think there was two good crosses all day.

When Dyche took over and Dom was injured, he was asked about him as the first question in the presser every single week. He must have thought he had Lewandowski on his hands. Poor lad was so overrated it was embarrassing.

 

[Tommy Chong]

Nah mate it's simply confidence.

It's embarrassing for a striker to be going that many games without a goal. He'll know his teammates will be questioning him, the fanbase questioning him, his peers looking at that record and thinking its embarrassing.

He needs to be dropped because the things he does do well when he's not scoring - working the centre halves, working the channels, occupying defenders, a nuisance in the air....he simply isn't doing it enough. He's not working hard enough and he's hiding in certain situations and not reacting to loose balls, little things that chances can come from.

Well, fingers crossed that when (IF) we get a decent amount of points back from the PL, there won't be so much pressure on him to score every game and it'll galvanize him into getting some form and confidence back.

Didn’t he just win the most aerial duels in a PL game in 3 years last weekend?

 

[JimmyJeffers]

They have a good centre forward in Watkins which helps.

Well aye. He’s a very good player. His goal was a tap in after Bailey skinned their full back. We need pace and composure in the final third. What we have now is weird

What effect did they have. Look back at my posts and you will see that I say he wins headers but has little control over them

Where on Earth are these stats from?

How can you win the most headers in a game in 3 years and not have the desire to battle anymore?
