Saturday’s Dugout Discussion

Now the hustle and bustle of pre-deadline nerves is over we can all sit down to another enjoyable gameweek of footballing action as the points roll in, starting with…. oh.

Abort, Abort, Abort.

Saturday kicks off with Wigan playing host to Wolves, perhaps the most interesting fact from this game being… nope, I’ve got nothing.

However, we take what we’re given, and if you can draw yourself away from the Ryder Cup for long enough, then you will see that Jordi Gomez is granted a rare start for Wigan behind the recovered Franco Di Santo. Mick McCarthy meanwhile has given us no great surprises, the line-ups in full are…

Wigan XI: Al Habs; Boyce, Gohouri, Alcaraz, Figueroua; McCarthy, Thomas; N’Zogbia, Gomez, Rodallega; Di Santo.

Wolves XI: Hahnemann; Foley, Craddock, Berra, Ward; Edwards, Henry, Mancienne, Jarvis; Fletcher, Doyle.

After this however we have six 3 o’clock kick offs that may excite the palette just a little bit more as – amongst others – West Brom play host to Bolton, Manchester United travel up to Sunderland and Redknapp invites Houllier down to London for a big day out in the Capital.

The Dugout Discussion will be open through all the days action as usual. Godspeed.

    Can I ask why people say stuff like "I'm glad I captained X" after 45 mins of a game with 45 mins left and more games tomorrow?! How do u know that's gonna still be the right decision at the end of the gameweek?!!!

      Lol. I recall when Gerrard performed well, and mates had captained him and were ecstatic, rubbing it in my face. 3 days later, midweek, my captain Lampard played against Derby at the bridge. Needless to say that shut them up...

    Just need Burnley's 10 men to snatch a second half goal, as QPR and Derby and I win a nice grand. Is that too much to ask? What, it is? Okay then...

          I can go back and check it retrospectively. It's just one a week and usually someone will write in the comments if they "hit," but they don't always hit that week. Van der Vaart took an extra week for example - and Obinna got an assist last week but some may say that isn't enough? I've been lucky/good with some great ones (Liam Lawrence, Bobby Zamora vs Man United, Dave Kitson's first goal in a year, etc.) but it's all just fun...
