Tuesday’s Dugout Discusson

Filed under: Site Features - Posted by: Mark

Tonight’s action has Bolton play their second fixture of the gameweek as they travel to the Stadium of Light and face Steve Bruce’s Sunderland. At the same time Portsmouth host Birmingham for the second time in four four days having disposed of Alex McLeish’s side in the FA Cup on Saturday.

Sunderland have already taken the lead within one minute of action through Frazier Campbell, while McCleish provides an even bigger shock on the south coast as he leaves fantasy managers agog with a really strong bout of rotation fever. The likes of Bowyer, McFadden and Carr are all given a rest this evening.

My Knee Jerk nightmare Nicklas Bendtner has also rubbed salt into open wounds by scoring from open play with his first attempt this evening, unfortunately for me the Champions League doesn’t offer any favours to my fantasy team..

The Dugout Discussion is up and running to catch your joy and agony in real-time.

“Alex Chamberlain played three games for the first time in his career. He had a stiff neck at half-time, so I did not want to take a gamble with him. Then we had a problem with Koscielny, and I wanted to give some playing time to Benayoun.”

Arsene Wenger explains why Van Persie wasn't substituted in the 7-1 win over Blackburn following pre-game talk of the Dutch hitman needing rest
