I'd like to give special mention to DCL at 20 he's been asked to lead the line of a struggling team a lot of pressure on his young shoulders he's usually up against two defenders alone who try and kick lumps out of him he's not the finished article by a long shot but he's got all the attributes he runs the channels holds it up his heading is great and for that penalty alone he gets an A++ in my book.

{Ed025's Note - i totally agree bill, hes my player of the season so far and considering the lack of creativity around him i think the lad has been amazing mate..

Ed someone compared him to Graham Sharpe and i'd have to agree totally great comparison.

{Ed025's Note - i loved sharpie bill but the difference is that he had a great support network around him, DCL has very little at the moment which makes what he is doing even more impressive mate..

Great young player who is improving every time he plays. The good thing about not having a recognised Striker.

I don't think Sharpie did have that much of a support network at first Ed.
I can remember a young Sharpie also being isolated up front and struggling in the old first division.
He was also homesick and was finding the step up from Dumbarton to Everton a huge struggle.
Glad we stuck by him though and also brought in Andy Gray to help and mentor him, it must be amazing to play alongside your boyhood idol.
If DCL can go on to become as good as Sharpie I'll be a very happy Blue.

{Ed025's Note - me too RIB..

Think he’s been good but would like him to beef up a bit, for all the attributes to be a decent striker.

7 goals and 4 assists is good return for the drivel we've played this season. Like Swan said, beef up a bit, work on his finishing and he'll be a top player in the near future.

DCL needs to improve his aerial ability to be as good as Sharpy!

Sharpie only really improved in the air once Andy Gray arrived. I'm not saying he was rubbish beforehand but he improved vastly once Gray taught him a few things.

I don't think he needs to beef up much. Rooney said he is suprised by how strong dcl is. Think he is more of a big dunc type of strength as to a sharpe type. He is never gonba be built like a brick out house.

Difference is that Big Dunc didn’t get bounced off the ball like DCL does.

Gray his attitude to gender equality is somewhat suspect but his head was always in the right place LOL.
