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.

      Radio guys were talking about adding some height to the midfield with that change.
      Couldn't decide if they were serious or if it was a crowbarred build up to the 'Little Britton' joke that followed.

      basically a few mins before they switched him to his position he had last season of a more attacking central role, so far this season he's been in a very rigid 4-4-2 with little freedom and largely limited to pop-shots

      Because Swansea thought they had the game won with 10 mins to go, switched off mentally and started getting sloppy with their passes.

      All the perfect recipes to allow a beleaguered home side back into a game.

    Just had a thought. I remember in chat rooms on IRC in the 90s, there used to be channels called 20+, 30+, 40+.

    I am not sure, but would this be a good idea for FFS?
