Saturday Dugout Discussion

Morning has been and gone and the minds eye of Fantasy Managers quickly changes from “What do I do?” to “How have I done?” as the Dugout Discussion settles in for a full day of footballing action…

Saturday and Sunday’s fixtures split evenly with 5-a-piece so we should have precisely half of the excitement in store. A closer looks makes it seem like our upcoming schedule got the hard end of the bargain as most of the “glamour ties” are saved for tomorrow. Nonetheless, today’s action kicks off with Wolves playing host to Swansea.

Once we ride out the Midlanders (five defeats in a row) versus the Welsh (four defeats in four away games with 12 goals conceded) we’ll take in a trio of three o’clock fixtures as Aston Villa, Bolton and Newcastle play host to West Brom, Sunderland and Wigan respectively.

Liverpool get the spotlight and sunset of the day as they welcome Paul Lambert’s Norwich to Anfield. All eyes will be on a certain Luis Suarez – more than a few captain’s armbands will be reliant on this “enigmatic”Uruguayan. If you fancy an added game, why not play “spot the Scout” as myself and Big Dunc take in the occasion in person. He’ll be the guy in the Liverpool stand trying not to cheer if Norwich take the lead.

The Dugout Discussion, as per usual, will keep chugging along through every kick of the ball.

    Villa aren't as good as they should be. Showed last week at City and with the likes of Dunne, Collins, Warnock and Given conceding too many goals.

    MOANING ALERT

    It pains me that I had Brunt for several weeks and he did nothing thus was shipped. That was bad enough but then my 2nd sub Olsson has to go and bag himself a goal against my keeper Given. Sheesh.

          Didnt say he was crap. Just that he a lot more cautious, defense is his foundations.

          I remember he did great with Scotland when they almost qualified.
