Sunday Dugout Discussion

Sunday’s edition of the Dugout Discussion rolls into action just before the first game of the day kicks-off. The non-televised Midlands derby between West Bromwich Albion and Wolverhampton Wanderers serves as our starter before the three-course football feast goes to Emirates for Arsenal versus Sunderland, and then finally to St. James’ Park as Newcastle United host Tottenham Hotspur.

The team news for the day’s opener is in, and here are the line-ups…

West Brom XI: Foster, Reid, Olsson, McAuley, Jones, Brunt, Mulumbu, Scharner, Thomas, Long, Tchoyi.

Wolves XI: Hennessey, Stearman, Berra, Johnson, Ward, Jarvis, Milijas, O’Hara, Henry, Hammill, Doyle.

Our predicted line-ups haven’t faired too well here it has to be said, with the home side naming only naming Nicky Shorey, James Morrision, Graham Dorrans and Peter Odemwingie on the substitutes bench.

Fewer surprises in the visitors line-up, with only David Edwards and Stephen Hunt not playing as predicted, with Nenad Milijas and Adam Hamill slotting into midfield.

So join me in the Dugout Discussion, where you’ll find me slowly rocking in the corner, praying that I can improve my miserable total of 11 points. I have just three players yet to play.

    Most dissapointed I've ever been in my FPL career, chickened out of an RVP (C) and made it Silva at very last minute and it may have cost me my H2H. I feel sick. PHEW!

          chris bevan at the bbc agrees:
          1345: Wolves have not given up yet, you know. Adlene Guedioura goes close with an acrobatic effort from the edge of the box, but sees his volley bounce wide. If Robin van Persie is impersonating Dennis Bergkamp today, then that was a flash of Mark Hughes.

    RVP captain. YAY! Finally something has paid off after having woodgate, rooney, silva, nani and taarabt all letting me down this week. Only had 10 pts coming into this game. Have Adebayor and Simpson playing too though.

    Close for a 2nd there for RVP, he looks up for it. would ejaculate everywhere if he gets a hattrick.

          "No, on target means on target. The goal is the target, not the post, its not 2-0 now he’s hit the post." It's on target if the keeper saves it between the posts..nothing about goals.

            Yes but you'd have to kick it at the goal, not the post, if he kicks it and it is going in then its on target, any touch by other players afterwards is irrelevant, if his shot is goal bound, its on target. His obviously wasn't.
