Am I right in thinking that our ten outfielders came from ten different countries against Bournemouth? Is that a record?

You are correct, only Stephens and Steele were a pair of Englishmen... not sure of record

EDIT: Not bloody Dunk!!! - Also, March did come on, so we had 3 on inc GK by the end.

I was about to post that if Maty Ryan hadn't been on international duty it would have been all 11 players until it occurred to me it was a cup match so he probably wouldn't have played anyway.
