The bulk of the Bristol City squad will be afforded a few extra days rest this week as the international break begins, following a job largely well done for the Robins.
Nigel Pearson’s squad end the first section of 10 games in ninth in the Championship, a welcome distance away from the lower mid-table purgatory of last term and with a feeling this team can go toe-to-toe with anyone in the division.
Some of Ashton Gate’s finest will still be in competitive action over the next 12 days before City’s Championship encounter with QPR, and it’s a measure of the club's form and success, at academy and senior level, they have a healthy number of internationals in their squad.
