Most capped X1

[piston broke]

I mentioned on the match thread that at some point last night we must have had our most capped X1 ever on the field.
I wrote in our first SD promotion season how excited I was because we had a team mixed between promotion experience(Jones,Shackell,Wallace etc.,) and hungry young players with U21 caps(Trips Mee). To have gone from that fine side to this cap laden side in such a short time is amazing.
It is possible that at some point this season we could line up:
Hart.......75
Bardsley..13
Long.......7
Tarkowski.1
Ward......49
JBG.......69
Defour....52
Hendrick.39
Brady.....39
Vokes.....59
Wood.....56
a grand total of 459 caps between them.
Subs
Lindegaard..5
Cork..........1
Lennon......21
Walters.....53
Vydra........20. would add another 100

Amazing times.

Your right Thats an "amazing"table of international players there. For Burnley? Have you been drinking ...

[piston broke]

No, but I might start. All that European experience for a club with no recent European experience.

X1?

[superdimitri]

Yeah, and the difference between us and the top 6 is most of our internationals play for poor teams whilst theirs are playing for good ones.

Why are we only using 5 subs? Wells would add another 9 caps to the bench. Don't think any others have played a full international although some have played at youth levels.

Wouldn't class the two teams that finished 3rd and 4th in the last world cup as poor

No, but our players didn't play

Don't get me wrong, it's a good thing, better than we would have imagined but we still aren't anything more than prime relegation candidates. We wouldn't be if our internationals played key roles for better teams.
