Monday Dugout Discussion

A game for the (fantasy) football die-hards tonight, as Norwich City play host to Sunderland in the Gameweek six finale. Whilst Gary Neville has been fiddling with his gadgets for the best part of an hour, the Dugout Discussion has just opened for the late shift, and if you’ve just tuned in the team news from Carrow Road is as follows…

Norwich XI: Ruddy, Naughton, Russell Martin, Barnett, Tierney, Bennett, Bradley Johnson, Fox, Pilkington, Hoolahan, Morison.

Sunderland XI: Mignolet, O’Shea, Brown, Bramble, Richardson, Elmohamady, Larsson, Gardner, Vaughan, Bendtner, Sessegnon.

Both Paul Lambert and Steve Bruce have the rare luxury of naming an unchanged eleven. That means Wes Hoolahan continues in an advanced position, whilst Grant Holt sits on the pine for the Canaries. Big summer signings John O’Shea, Wes Brown and Niklas Bendtner all start for the Black Cats.

Take a pew in the Dugout Discussion, and let’s hope for an entertaining edition of Monday Night Football.

        agree on ruddy - which is why i am going to get de gea on my wild card - as de gea will proove better points per £ than given - and either way i will have ruddy as injury replacement - nothing more -

        the fact we bought some one with the name ruddy (as in the ruddy goal keeper messed that up" - or - "why did i pick that ruddy keeper?" - speaks for its self

        lets put him on the back burner where he belongs!!

        why o why did we get a norwich keeper!! waist of 4mil!!!

    First he concedes, then he gets a yellow card, was looking so good for Ruddy up to the 85th min, although he has made a fair few saves?

    Who shall I bring in for Rooney this weekend?

    RVP - back on form and reasonable fixtures coming up
    Suarez - back on form, value, fixtures good after next two
    Hernandez - good fixture this weekend, then OK fixture, then harder, but will he definately start?
    Drogba - scored, Torres injured, decent fixtures but slight bench risk?
    Or just keep Rooney - probable only missing one game, but got two harder fixtures after that and value will drop in the meantime

    Its a tough one. What do you lot think?

    Thanks
