Sunday Dugout Discussion

Mark Hughes takes charge of his first game as Queens Park Rangers manager today, as his side travels up to the Sports Direct Arena to face Newcastle United. After that, Thierry Henry returns to the Premier League, where he’ll be dreaming of a similar comeback to that of the fabulous Paul Scholes. Heroics or not, the Dugout Discussion is here to follow the events as they unfold (or to further reflect on the majestic Paul Scholes’ return). The team news from early game is in…

Newcastle XI: Krul, Simpson, Williamson, Coloccini, Santon, R.Taylor, Guthrie, Cabaye, Gutierrez, Shola Ameobi, Best.

QPR XI: Kenny, Hill, Ferdinand, Gabbidon, Young, Wright-Phillips, Derry, Buzsaky, Mackie, Bothroyd, Helguson.

It’s more a case of who’s missing today rather than who’s playing. The home side have a chance to leap-frog Liverpool into sixth with a win today, but they’ll have to do so without arguably their best two players. Senegalese Demba Ba and Ivorian Cheick Tiote have escaped to warmer climates for the African Cup of Nations. In come Shola Ameobi and Danny Guthrie.

As for the visitors, Joey Barton is suspended so misses the opportunity to play at his former stomping ground, and Adel Taarabt (Morocco) and Armand Traore (Senegal) are on international duty.

The Dugout Discussion chatroom can be accessed right here, and as you take your seat I’ll leave you with one brilliant fact I heard yesterday (and no, it’s about not Paul Scholes)… If Thierry Henry plays against Swansea today, it’ll be the 34th Premier League side he has faced. He’s scored against every one of the other 33.

      I'd say his current role is first reserve for loads of positions (RB,LB,RM,even maybe CM and LM). Probs means he will get loads of starts but you can never be sure when he's going to play and when he's not.

    What three strikers are you guys going with after your wildcard?

    I am thinking of Sturridge, Adebayor, RVP

      Currently have Aguero, RVP, Barndoor. But might swap Ade for Studge to have coverage next week.

          I might wildcard Sturridge in until Ba returns.

      Yeah I might replace Adebayor with Aguero. The only problem is that I got Adebayor in when he was 8 million.

      I could then downgrade Nani to Valencia.

      It might work well as Man Utd. and Tottenham have tough fixtures.

      Thanks guys

    Walcott and Arshavin are sh!te absolutely. Woeful and senseless football.
    The former is clearly not worthy of playing for England. If Arsenal are to improve, they need to sell both and get better players.
    My opinion wouldn't change if they even scored tonight.
