Monday Dugout Discussion

A bitterly cold Monday evening provides the backdrop for a vital Premier league fixture for Alan Pardew’s Newcastle, who are looking to end a run of four straight defeats when they take on Wigan at St James’ Park. In Fantasy terms, there is perhaps limited interest, with Demba Ba still carrying the hopes of some despite scoring just one goal in his last five league appearances. Our Dugout Discussion chatroom is open to cater for those who fancy some real-time banter during tonight’s proceedings.

The team news from the North East finds the home side handing Sylvain Marveaux his first league start of the season; he replaces the suspended James Perch. Pardew’s side are set to lineup up in a 4-2-3-1 formation with Demba Ba presumably leading the attack, although it will be interesting to see how he works with Papiss Cisse in that formation. The visitors also make one change: Roberto Martinez is able to welcome back Gary Caldwell to his defence after injury, with Adrian Lopez dropping to the bench.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      With their defenders suspended it could mean they are pretty frail but at 3.8m and OOP he's pretty appealing. Will he stay there? Likes to get crosses in a lot.

            Not at all. Evans is a decent player, Stam is a reserve defender for Wigan.

              Evans has become a decent player.

              I'm not saying Stam will be as good as Evans was but at 3.8 if he were nailed on then you would have to consider.

      The lack of job security is a worry. Clarke is of the Mancini mould. He likes to mix it up. Long's run is outrageous but WBA look like their form has turned bad. Whether Ba is the perfect replacement...I don't know. Perhaps...haven't looked at fixtures.

              I have Sterling, might look at Enrique for GW17, but not away at West Ham

              I have RvP, Berba and Long, think I might stick for now, GW20 is the time to shift Long I feel

        Unless there's a double gameweek, I can't see me having Suarez at all this season.
