Sunday Dugout Discussion

With no televised (English) top-flight game yesterday, Sunday’s double-header has us eagerly anticipating some live Premier League action. The Dugout Discussion opens for the second day of Gameweek 15, with a relegation scrap and a game between two sides aiming for Europe.

We start at the Stadium of Light as Martin O’Neill takes over the reigns as Sunderland manager. His first assignment is against a Blackburn side whose manager, in total contrast, is hanging onto his job for dear life. Having said that, Steve Kean has a win against Swansea last week to build on. Here are the all-important team sheets…

Sunderland XI: Westwood, O’Shea, Bardsley, Brown, Bramble, Richardson, Larsson, Colback, Vaughan, Sessegnon, Wickham.

Blackburn XI: Robinson, Salgado, Samba, Dann, Givet, Formica, Dunn, Lowe, Pederson, Vuckevic, Yakubu.

Sunderland striker Niklas Bendtner is kept out with a groin injury, and in his place Connor Wickham gets his first league start since October. The visitors are also without a key striker, as Junior Hoilett picked up a training ground hamstring injury that sees him miss out.

Following that it’s over to the Britannia Stadium where Stoke City host Tottenham Hotspur. Stoke’s ambition this season will be to match last season’s success of reaching the Europa League, whereas the visitor’s will have their sights set on returning to Europe’s premier competition after a year out. That’ll then just leave Monday night’s grand finale at Stamford Bridge to bring the gameweek to a close.

The Dugout Discussion chatroom is open for all today’s action.

    Shawcross, the piggy faced little c*nt, has given away two clear penalties now..

    Also Ade wasn't offside for that goal.

    VDV off pens because Spurs need someone playing week in, week out on them? Still can't imagine VDV likes that, bit of an dent in the ego I would imagine.

    bah, I'm really worried about not having any Manchester United Coverage! Team and their selling prices are currently:
    Vorm(4.4)/Howard(5.4)
    Raylor(4.6)/Brown(4.6)/Enrique(5.4)/Richards(6.2)/Shawx(5.1)
    Silva(10)/Mata(9.6)/Drenthe(6)/Bale(8.5)/Arfa(5.4)
    RVP(12.6)/Sturridge(6.7)/Adebayor(8.5)

    0.7 in the bank!

    Players I'm considering shifting around to accommodate Nani or Welbeck would be Raylor, Brown, Shawx, Arfa, Drenthe, Sturridge or Adebayor.

    Was looking at doing this over the next few weeks, maybe saving a transfer and doing that next week but Nani will defo be going up soon:
    Raylor(4.6) -> Simpson(4.3)
    Arfa(5.4) -> Nani(9.9)
    Adebayor(8.5) -> Morrison(5)

    Anyone who can see something I could do?!
