Following the discussion about Dominic Calvert-Lewin on the Don't Go To Bed Just Yet podcast, we asked for your opinions on the 28 year-old.

Here are some of your comments:

Robert: At present he looks like Bamford in disguise! A very hard worker for the team cause and gets in great positions to score a goal, but then misses umpteen good chances, before an actual goal comes along! Jan transfer window requires MORE firepower up front.

Dan: I was dead against the signing of DCL but I must say he's impressed me, especially in the last two games. He's strong, sharp, clever and works really hard for the team. His finishing is still rusty but that will come with more time. He's getting in the positions and taking shots. More goals will come.

Chris: For me Calvert-Lewin is trying too hard to score. He needs to relax a bit and goals will come. Maybe a touch of psychology from Farke would help him (and plenty of practice on the training ground). I also think that Aaronson is in a similar position.

Bob: He's not really doing too much wrong, but with additional training plus more starts he will be/should be up to full Premier League game fitness. Not helping that Willy Gnonto and Dan James are injured and both always like to start or come off the bench and likely will offer additional service too him. Substituting him against Bournemouth was a bad error as he's is definitely stronger in the air than I thought!

Andrew: He will score goals eventually but not in the quantity we require. We are still missing a top class forward and number 10. We have been for three years. Every supporter knows this but apparently the board/manager can't see this.
