The first midweek Gameweek of the season starts with two games where Premier League survival is the ultimate goal. There’s still an hour before the Gameweek 17 deadline, but the Dugout Discussion swings it’s doors open nice and early for tonight’s games…

Relatively high-flying Norwich travel to Molineux to face a Wolves side perilously close to the relegation zone. Although there’s an eight place gulf between the sides, anything but a home win against Norwich – who will be viewed as eventual fellow candidates for the drop – would constitute as a failure.

Mid-December is normally too soon for clubs struggling for points to begin to worry but, for Blackburn Rovers and Bolton Wanderers, a loss tonight would ensure mass hysteria. To say both managers’ jobs are on the line pending this game’s outcome, might not be that far off the mark.

That bottom-off-the-table scrap at Ewood Park is the televised game tonight, but you can follow all of the action in our Dugout Discussion chatroom.

      Ye, supporters holding up newspaper articles saying "Kean time to leave". While it's fair enough to be annoyed with the club they need to look at the owners too. They're the problem here.

    I think an eight game ban is ridiculous. Of course, punishment must be meted out, but I dont see why the fans, the club and all the team mates have to suffer, because that has probably derailed our whole season.

    Its his fault and his alone. A much larger personal fine would have been more appropriate and a ban of about three games. I mean, should you really be banned for over twice the length of time for a verbal slur rather than a vindictive phycial injury?

        Or is he being praised for covering it up?
