And in pretty much every English PL team, English players are in the minority in any starting 11, they just happen to play in England (which is how it is now, not a criticism)

Because I'm bored, I looked this up and was surprised by a couple of things:
• England having the most players in the PL
• Scotland having so many
(I appreciate this doesn't break it down into starting XI, but still pretty interesting)
Likewise here:
• Scotland having so few in the top flight

Reading it again, I've misunderstood the stats about Scottish players in Scotland. That's how many are playing in the "Big 5 Leagues", rather than our own top flight; I did think it seemed a bit unlikely that there were only 29!

At the time you posted that I did think they were saving them for the home leg (as it more than proves below), but didn't want to temp fate by saying it.

In other news Wales get stitched up again. Five games in 14 days in June including a World Cup playoff and four Nations League games.
Meanwhile our potential opponents in said World Cup play off have their games rearranged to September so will be a lot fresher / less chance of injury!

Strange time to sack the manager. i suppose they have got to try something but it sounds like desperation to me.

Wales' potential opponents in the World Cup play-off are playing on June 1, then playing you (with home advantage) 4 days later...
Even if Scotland don't get through, we'll be following that up with 3 games in 6 days.

In particular Sean Dyche. Absolutely clear the American owners do not understand the respect Dyche commands within the club, his players, the fans and the wider community.
If there is a man you want in charge after a relegation it's Sean Dyche. As a Rover if the club appointed Dyche at Ewood I'd welcome him with open arms.
Crazy decision by the owners and once more proof of the damage overseas ownership does to clubs and football in this country.
