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.

    We have got to beat Reading next week.

    Reading showing more spirit than us today. Hughes set us up to play for a point, no wonder this guy hasn't won away for goodness knows how long.

          Hughes should do the decent thing and walk if we don't beat Reading next week. I had high hopes for him, even campaigned for him to replace Warnock, bit I genuinely have no faith in him anymore.

          Redknapp can't come sooner for me.

        Hughes was a pussy and set us up to stand off Arsenal and have no interest in going forward. At least Norwich managed to score, keep 10 men on the pitch and keep a clean sheet.

        Only us can buy players who consistently demonstrate gross stupidity. This time it was M'Bia. Next week it will be someone else.

        We're going down under Hughes I fear.
