International breaks seem to get longer but what was experienced over the last two weeks will pale in comparison to the next stoppage in the schedule when the World Cup kicks off in November.
But never mind that for now, with Bristol City back in action and returning to Ashton Gate for the first time in over a month as they host sixth-placed QPR for what should be a lively fixture, and another tough examination against one of the division’s better teams.
Michael Beale’s side have been decent on their travels, with their only defeats on the road being two 1-0s at Swansea City and Blackburn Rovers, and City will need to bring all their good prior to the break with them, and hopefully leave the bad behind.
