" Momentum "

Sun Nov 16, 2025 6:44 pm

I often find that international breaks kill momentum. The first international break did that to us because we were on a great run and that stopped after the break.

Well now there is not another international break until March.

So now is the perfect time to put a run together and really get some momentum going.

If we can do that, then we could be in a commanding position by the next international break.

Good call, Ned; I was only thinking this last night! :thumbup:

There are, IMHO, way too many interruptions in all the Leagues, club team momentum’s are affected, and players are expected to ‘put in a shift’ during heavy, non-stop schedules

Personally, I blame FIFA and UEFA in the main, but the Premier League and EFL also need to look at their own competitions and schedules to help mitigate the ever-increasing international and domestic burden

Notwithstanding these factors, there is also the great cost inflicted on those many loyal club and international supporters, who follow their team(s) everywhere they go

Players and managers not on international duty should use the time to train and work out the errors before the international break. If they go on holidays or turn off then we get into the problems when we return. Cardiff never seem to understand what to do on international break.

Agree the first international break kill our momentum - but this one we lost our last 2 games ...
Could have come at a good time for a change ???
