International break - good or bad?

Asked this before the last international break, so do you think this international break is good or bad for us?

Good news is it's not as long, only two weeks until our next game. It's also the last international break until March.

My view is that as much as I don't like international breaks, this one is probably good for us.

We had players playing on Saturday who weren't fully fit, especially in defence, and this gives them a chance to rest ahead of the next games. So it's probably arrived at the right time for us.

Good that we can go into it off the back of a win too and in a good place in the table.

Good for the team at the moment with the injuries but bad for me personally as there's no game to watch.

I don't see how it can be bad for us with a squad full of walking wounded

Thus is how I see it, although we know it can affect momentum. However, it’s the same for all our rivals, too!

Great timing, we've just had a positive run, and the players are all either knackered or injured, time for them to recover, and we may have a choice of more than two central defenders in two weeks.

That's what I think too.

Don't like there being two weeks without a game for us but from a fitness point of view, it's happened at a good time for the players.

Has to be seen as a positive for the players. Time to recharge batteries of those players currently fit but playing every game. Hopefully get many of the injuries sorted out.

I wonder what our training regimes looks like over a 2 week period

Good this time with our injuries

Same as the last break - we won the game before the break and had a few injuries then as we have now .

I was going to vote ‘good’ then I remembered that too many of our injuries happen during training! Not sure now
Whatever happens I have confidence that BBM will work his magic again

Good this time with our injuries

True
But generally there’s way to much international football.

One negative is that Moylan won't have any break and will probably play two full games for Ireland.

I voted good because fitness is crucial for the squad right now

But I'm a little mixed because after that great team performance on Saturday, we don't get to build on that till after the international break now

Looking forward to the trip to Norway so I'm saying good. Unlike a lot on here I love the internationals.

Perfect timing for us hopefully we can get a few players back after the break!!!
