Saturday Duguout Discussion

Gameweek 27 gets off to a potentially inauspicious start as Fulham pay host to Stoke City at the Cottage. Having been robbed of Premier League action last Saturday, today’s opener isn’t perhaps our fixture of choice, with both sides struggling for form. The Potters turn up with just one win in their last seven, whilst Martin Jol’s side have scored in just one of their last four. We’re hoping for goals and entertainment; we fear a 0-0 battle of attrition.

Our Dugout Discussion Chatroom is now open to collect you real-time reactions to this game and Saturday’s other five fixtures.

The team news from the Cottage finds Martin Jol able to welcome back Sascha Riether after he missed the 0-0 draw against Norwich through illness. Giorgos Karagounis and Ashkan Dejagah also earn starts in midfield as Emmanuel Frimpong and Hugo Rodallega drop out, the latter earning a place on the bench. Visitors Stoke make two changes – both significant. As we expected, Marc Wilson, the much publicised 3.9 prospect, returns at left-back with Andy Wilkinson making way. Geoff Cameron is the other popular Fantasy pick to reappear: the American international is given a midfield berth on the right with Michael Kightly making way.

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

    It's not great, but I actually don't think RVP(c) is that bad this week. Bale and Walcott need attacking returns to better it, which is far from guaranteed.

    What's everyone's problem with RvP going off? Keep your pants on.

    I'm happier whenever my captain doesn't get the 1-2 points.

    8 points so far.

    Given his shots were on target and he had an assist he could even get bonus if it stays 1-0.

    No disaster yet.

    And was everyone really doubling up on sub 4.0 million Reading defensive cover and then banking on a Reading clean sheet? I have Federici - I expect save points, never clean sheets - they're awful if we're honest.

    Move along people, nothing to see here.

      RVP can't do anything else in a prime fixture, if Wally keeps a cs, he gets 6, plus has 45 to get returns.

      Yeah I have him but even I wouldn't have started after the Bayern game.

      Brutally bad, could not pass, never tried to beat a man, never tracked back - by some distance the worst player on the pitch.

      But he did get the token goal so hopefully Arsene didn't notice!
