Break good for Cardiff despite sparkling form - Vokes
- Published
Veteran striker Sam Vokes believes the international break may have come at a good time for Cardiff City.
The Bluebirds have made a spectacular start to the new season, banking 16 points from six League One games.
After relegation from the Championship last term, the mood has transformed at the Cardiff City Stadium thanks to the form of new boss Brian Barry-Murphy's youthful team.
But despite Cardiff's early season success, Wales international Vokes says Barry-Murphy's youngsters could benefit from the breather as they prepare to return to action at Stockport County on Saturday (15:00 BST).
"I think it was quite a nice break for them," Vokes, who joined Gillingham from Wycombe Wanderers in the summer, told this week's Feast of Football podcast.
"They had eight games in August. That is a lot of games to start the season with a young squad, with some of the players not used to the physicality of a 46-game League One season."
Cardiff are yet to lose a game this campaign, and are chasing a third successive away win this weekend after triumphs at AFC Wimbledon and Luton Town.
