Not stopping for international breaks was possibly the only positive of being relegated to League One. That said with our small squad we'll need these breaks every now and then especially with the EFL Trophy requiring as strong a team as we can field.
The breaks can be seen as a good thing because it'll mean re-arranging games midweek playing twice a week and should strengthen Slade's case for the need for a bigger squad when the matches come thick and fast.
Do both clubs have to agree to a postponement? I think our game with Millwall coincides with an international break too and can't see them passing up the chance to play us with some key players missing.

Don't think so but i'm not 100% sure. I remember back in the 90's Birmingham always used to get there matches called off for internationals before all Championship games were eventually automatically called off and i'm pretty sure there's been the odd game called off in recent seasons in League One.

might be mistaken, but I thought Millwall's games last season were called off for international call ups, their keeper is (was) the Irish keeper for starters
It is quite possible that Wales might select Crofts or Fox. They were both in contention for the Euros.
The land of our fathers have always had this problem. Back in the day they had a front two of Mark Hughes and Ian Rush. Who was their cover? None other than our own Andy Jones a forward we plucked from the third tier Port Vale.
They've organised that well then. Sky rules probably state though that once you've been handed the privilege of being allowed to appear on their broadcast, you can't pull out, so even if the entire team was called up we'd have to play with 4 men

We could have Pogba, Ronaldo and Messi in our team and still lose against Millwall.

Also, Ricky Holmes in England squad?
Apparently yes, as Stevenage only lost players to U19 and U21 matches
Who knows, maybe Konsa will get a U18 call up?
