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.

      I may stay away from Wolves totally. Two games worth of film on those schmucks is all any good team should need. Shut down the left side of Jarvis & Ward, and don't give Hunt time on the rock. And for god sakes don't double Jarvis!!

      Not good mate, I was all geared up to play both simpson and de laet this week but obviously with wildcard ended up with more 'stronger options'. Although in hindsight, why I thought wes brown would be a better option is beyond me...

      I would say Downing as this is the last week he should be stuck 2/3 of the match with Carroll in the way. Don't like the way Fulham look against quicker teams. They seem to think they have the same amount of on the ball as with a Europa 1st rounder.

          over analysis maybe? I was leaning toward n'zogbia and torres but ended up going bent and malouda for that extra few bob, was very much worth it this week at least.

          I checked out your bench, are you not annoyed with having vorm on the pine at all? that is the only one I am annoyed with in my team.

          Anyway keep up the great writing and best of luck with kompany, personally I am hoping lescott gets one.
