Saturday Dugout Discussion

One door closes (The Saturday Surgery) and another doth open for you all (The Dugout Discussion).

It’s all relatively cosmetic but the main thing that can be done now is put up your feet, take in the day’s action and get over that grade III. hangover you picked up during last night’s celebrations. There’s nothing left to do but cross fingers and hope that the Wayne Rooney captaincy [insert your choice previous] you opted for at the last minute proves fruitful.

The Dugout Discussion is open through all of today’s games starting at The Hawthorns in under an hour as Manchester United pay visit to a West Brom side short of defensive options and closing in the same city as Arsenal have an away game against Alex McCleish’s men at St. Andrews…

In-between our Birmingham based bookends we will take in a grand total of six 3pm kick-offs as the New Year supports a rather chock-a-block schedule. Tottenham will host Fulham hoping to continue their charge towards the top four, Liverpool play host to Bolton hoping they can improve from frankly diabolical to middling and winning and Man City play host to Blackpool looking to knock the fresh-faced form travelers off their perch as they aim for the top of the table. A Key clash between West Ham and Wolves also stands out at the bottom of the table while Stoke vs. Everton and Sunderland vs. Blackburn round out the days fixtures.

As already alluded to, the Dugout Discussion will be open and with you right through all of the day up until the bonus judges do their worst as we close out the day.

    Looking at this wildcard, found a pretty suitable team.

    Foster, Stockdale
    Kolorov, Rafael, Evatt, Bardsley, Jara
    VDV, Brunt, Adam, Nani, Fabregas,
    Tevez, Odemwingi, Drogba

    Would be pretty good i feel, Stockdale id only use for the two gameweeks i wouldnt play foster in which is fulhams double and newcastle at home.

    Thoughts?

        Do you have any reason to believe Stockdale will actually play in the DGWs?

        Kingson is a better option. You also have no liverpool coverage. I know they are crap at the mo, but they have fantastic fixtures and DGWs a plenty.

        He doesn't always take loads of long shots... He just has the odd game where he'll try them the whole time. I blame the goals against Arsenal and Barca! Given him too much confidence, when he's actually not that great at striking the ball.

      No-one remembers your shots to goals ratio it's all about that one great goal.

      Always felt like Ronaldo was hitting the wall on free kicks when he played for us but people always remember that one against Portsmouth.
