[BBC] [PA Media] Wolves going into a 25-day break with no match is one of the strangest situations of the season. In a campaign packed with games, injuries, pressure and emotional swings, a pause this long can feel both helpful and harmful at the same time. There is a clear upside.
After a heavy schedule, the lads finally get a chance to breathe. They can spend time with their families, switch off mentally and recharge physically. At this stage of the season, that matters.
Fresh legs and fresh minds could make a real difference in the run-in. For those away with their international sides, there is also a chance to build confidence, get minutes and come back sharper. But there is another side to it - and it is the one many Wolves fans will worry about most.
Wolves were beginning to build some momentum, not just in results but in performances too. There were signs the team was finding rhythm, belief and a bit more control. To stop that flow now feels frustrating.
