Dronfield Blue Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 How many of our players are involved? Wouldn't it be better if it was just for the Premiership teams that had the break? I hate them. That said, if we were in the Prem, I could live with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldishowl Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 I reckon they are a big problem for championship clubs. We play 8 more league games yet have to take the same international breaks so end up with too many midweek games and players playing sat tues sat far too much. Plus championship games are far more attritional leading to injuries. Don’t know the answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukestheman82 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Scrap the International breaks. We dont do it for the A.C.O.N. But do it for meaningless friendlies. If anything, stopping the domestic international break, would even things about a bit between the big boys and the lesser clubs, albeit for only a few games a season, but would make it more interesting.

Pale Rider Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Squads like Scotland, the Irish, Welsh and smaller European countries rely heavily on the football league clubs. We used to get games postponed in league one because we had international players. Don’t forget this includes under 21’s etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roaminowl Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 I wondered what we were going to complain about after winning yesterday. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue and white Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 The only good thing to come out of them is it gives plays an extra week to get over minor knocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelcityowlsfan Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Ah come on guys. That extra 2 weeks could be critical in Abdi’s rehab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know why is any Wednesday complaining about international breaks? With our squads injury record we need them to stop their legs falling off!

Birley Owl 1867 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Games would end up being postponed anyway due internationals. But I do think that it should only be for premiership teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. Comes at a good time for us. Most critically, Bannan should be sorted. Fletcher, Thorniley and Matias should be back. Winnall, Hooper, Lee, Abdi and Van Aken will be two weeks closer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philb125 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I don’t know who has been called up this time around but players I’d imagine to be in contention or possible call ups include but not limited to: England U21: Onamah, Penney (must be due a call up) Wales U21: Baker Jamaca: Hector Scotland: Bannan, Fletcher (maybe bit of stretch nowadays) Kosova: Nuhiu So thats 5-7 potential first team players unavailable, so I think wanting us to play on regardless may be a bit of a strain on our limited resources.

theowlsman Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 (edited) Shouldn’t stop us from playing. Wednesday 23 Germany 3. (Nuhiu 20, Foxy 3) Foxy is really looking forward to this one and bashing the Krauts. Not my usual 23-0 prediction sadly. I have to allow for a lack of clean sheets nowadays.

Blatter Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Ridiculous idea immediately after the World Cup. Seriously risks burning out the international players (and totally screws up Championship fixtures along with tv schedules) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lombardo Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I just get a little bored in the international break. I even read threads on here which may not even get on the top 10 list at any other time of the season..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

striker Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Hate international breaks, should be abolished for the Championship rather than having to condense fixtures to accommodate. But on the plus side, get to watch us loads on Sky this season given the amount of midweek games! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
