Sunday Dugout Discussion

Just the one game to entertain us this Sunday, as Norwich welcome Sunderland to Carrow Road. The Black Cats Fantasy assets have a perfect platform to grab our attention ahead of their double Gameweek, though they have a tough task on their hands – the Canaries have registered clean sheets in each of their last three home matches:

As always, our Dugout Discussion is open ahead of the 4pm kick-off, with the team news as follows:

Chris Hughton names the same starting XI that drew 1-1 at Everton in midweek, with Ryan Bennett continuing to deputise at centre-half for the injured Michael Turner.

Norwich Starting XI: Bunn; Whittaker, Bassong, R. Bennett, Garrido; Snodgrass, Johnson, Tettey, Pilkington; Hoolahan; Holt

For Sunderland, James McClean earns a recall to the first-team. Seb Larsson moves into central midfield to cover for the injured Lee Cattermole – this sees Adam Johnson shift to the right, with McClean returning to his usual left wing berth.

Sunderland XI: Mignolet, Bardsley, Kilgallon, Cuellar, Rose; Johnson, Larsson, Gardner, McClean; Sessegnon; Fletcher

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Well I can't quite believe we've lost that. First half was perhaps the worst we've played all season; but everything was different in the second half, chance after chance.

      Yeah...we deserved a draw out of that. Norwich offered nothing second half. But that's how they usually play. B*stards for holding on to a lead. If we could just start games like that we'd be alright

        Gave ourselves too much to do with that woeful first half performance. We need to use the improvement as a kick start now though, play like we did in the 2nd half in the next few games and we'll see some different results i'm sure.

    When you make the Scouts Picks next week can you please leave all of them out and avoid QPR like the plague so I have a chance of:

    a) not having any expensive players left on the bench
    b) no one getting injured
    c) getting a big points haul
    d) The R's winning a game

    Thanks in advance 🙂

    The oil-tanker that is an FPL squad is hard to navigate. Sudden attempts at catching DGW currents, might put it in rocky waters before you know it. Or in a Sess pool even.
