If you were the ccfc manager....

...how much time off (if any) would you give the players who aren't being called up for their country?

I'd say to get them in Friday. That way, they have 5 days off for a break and still have over 2 weeks to prepare for the Jack match.
I asked my mate who said not to change anything so I'd imagine that means back in training today.

It's a difficult one to choose as you want to keep up the fitness and match sharpness but imo, some need a little break.

Makes sense but I feel it will be earlier, as SM will want to work with his squad and keep them ticking over as a group

This break will recharge the batteries allow full preparation for the next game as we seek to climb the Championship table

You may well be right mate. I have every confidence SM will do the right thing
I’m also confident that the players will be well up for it against the small club down west. Looking forward to seeing how their full backs deal with Cody in particular
