Dugout Discussion

Saturday Dugout Discussion – Gameweek 9

A chilly Saturday afternoon greets the start of Gameweek nine, as twelve Premier League sides do battle once more. The Dugout Discussion opens it’s doors, in time for the early kick-off at Villa Park between Aston Villa and Norwich City. The team news is in, and is as follows…

Villa XI: Guzan, Lowton, Vlaar, Bennett, El Ahmadi, Delph, Herd, Albrighton, Holman, Agbonlahor, Benteke.

Norwich XI: Ruddy, R. Martin, Bassong, Turner, Garrido, Johnson, Tettey, E. Bennett, Pilkington, Hoolahan, Holt.

Paul Lambert makes three changes to his team, as he seeks victory over his former employers. Christian Benteke, Marc Albrighton and Chris Herd come in, with Darren Bent, Stephen Ireland and Nathan Baker making way.

After his sides impressive victory over Arsenal last week, Chris Hughton names the same starting eleven that earned those three points.

We’ve then got dose of four 3p.m. games, before the Champions see us out this evening against Swansea. The Dugout Discussion chatroom is open and can be accessed right here.

    Arsenal finally showing some promise going forward. If only we could play against 10 man QPR every week.

        Let these others sell, unless it's for Mata I don't understand.
        That said, he might be benched next week. 😕

    Thanks Berbs! Saving my ars3!

    That Wilson transfer for -4pts is a kicker.

    Suggestions to replace Wilson? I have £5m Newcastle Utd/Stoke/Reading/Sunderland all have decent fixtures over the next 4/5 weeks

      How bad was the injury? I'd rather not have to use a transfer to sell him immediately after buying him!
