With the 16 day break are the non-internationals in the squad being sent off to a training camp - not that there are too many of them - Tammy, Digne, Mings, Bogarde, Watkins, Barkley....

Digne's off with France.

They’re playing a friendly against Elche on Friday.

I'd have thought France would pick someone trickier.

And isn't Bogarde with the Dutch u21s?

I was just assuming those were not off on international duty. Add Bizot, Garcia, Sancho?

No Midlands. West Brom 3rd, then Derby.

Clubs that have finished 1st, 2nd and 3rd in Midlands each season.

Coventry have never been the top side in the Midlands.

Surely Forest should be in that Top 3?

Sorry I meant us.  France are playing Le Havre behind closed doors.

No, they were pretty rubbish before Clough came along. Whilst they're 3rd in total titles with 15, they have way less top 3 appearances than Wolves, Baggies or Derby.

Actually West Brom have the 2nd most top 3 appearances, but only 10 titles.

They've rarely been the top side in Coventry

Do you have this in full? Love this sort of stuff.

Depends how it's judged, is 15th and the LC thought of as better than 6th and no trophy?
