Sunday Dugout Discussion

There’s only one televised Premier League fixture today, but with blockbuster games kicking off earlier at Carrow Road and Molineux, we’ve opened the Dugout Discussion chatroom so you can pour over all of today’s action.

We’re at Carrow road first, where Norwich City shortly begin their home campaign. They come up against a Stoke City side perhaps a little worse for wear after their midweek Europa League venture. Half an hour later, Fulham (another team having to cope with extra European commitments) travel up to face Mick McCarthy’s Wolves.

After that, it’ll be time to tune in to watch Gary and Jamie set-up a potential cracker between Bolton and Man City, with both sides looking to top the table.

So join us in the Dugout Discussion, which will stay open throughout the day to soak up your views on the action.

          Presumably that's Lambert trying to compete physically with Stoke - surprising - I didn't expect Norwich to change their style but stick to their guns, particularly at home.

            They did buy a butt-load (technical term) of midfielders over the summer after already having a few on the books. It's their most dangerous area.

            Meanwhile I'm happy to see Naughton get a start even if it does, erm, mess up one of our differentials.

                Rotation for top sides I can handle. Rotation for Norwich, not so much.

    Captain for next week? Going on holiday tonight so need to decide!

    It's between:

    Suarez
    Bent
    A Young
    Silva

    Leaning towards Bent as captain with Suarez as back-up...

      Bent if you're on holiday next Saturday, Suarez if not.

      I hate having my player be captain done before 2pm on a Saturday, but if you're not around it's fine. This is Andy logic.

        Andy logic sounds a lot like good ol' boy deep south logic to me.
        Think I'll stick with Bent and then see what happens when I sneek a peek at a ¢5 copy of the Daily Express whilst away. Monsiour Agent D'News will sh*t his pants if Bent's scored a hat-trick and I'm running around Le Shop like un mentaliste.

          I'm sure it will be on something but it's not on ESPN or Sky, you could try and find a good stream, I never do personally but if you are desperate give it a go. Will be on football first later on but I assume you want to watch it live, I suppose you have to understand the game won't be watched like an Arsenal Liverpool match so channels would rarely broadcast it live. Shame really for the people who want to watch every match and follow the league closely.

    There's some kind of weird error with scoring. My players as listed add up to 25 points, but the game week total is listed as 26 points. I've got Dempsey, so maybe the point is anticipating his listing (though it doesn't show by his name yet). Or maybe they've accidentally released a bonus point for someone. Or maybe the system is just a mess.
