At that time, DCL played a lot on the wings as well mind. 2 of his goals came when he was playing as a LW. And of his 32 games, only 17 were as a CF.For context...
Simms 24 in Jan
Cannon 22 in Dec
Chermiti 21 in May
DCL comparison would be the 2017/18 season where he played 1876 minutes (20+ games worth of mins) 18 starts / 14 sub and scored 4 goals.
What I saw with Chermiti was positioning, technique, control and awareness + he also made an effort to press and win the ball.
I think hes a different type of centre forward than we've seen before but cant compare with anyone or judge him just yet.
My hope is that with a good preseason he can push Dyche to make a positive decision to be 2nd choice. That gives Thelwell/Dyche another decision to make on Beto with the Bologna interest, i doubt we keep him as 3rd choice.
Need to reduce expectation on some of our young players and give them a chance to develop.
