Im gonna share a bit of knowledge about squad building.
So because all the experienced heads (the leaders as such) have left, this means we had none at the start.
Sheaf was selected to be Captain so thats a selected leader, and Bidwell seems to be an emergent leader who seems to be vocal in the dressing room.
A squad needs probably 3/4 leaders in it so players I can see emerging as leaders are Wilson and Eccles at the moment, both being vocal and playing their role in organisation.
Now for the added members of the squad being 7 coming in and 5 going out, yes we have replaced the number outgoing. However those 6 players will be fresh (other than binks) so this means that they will be fighting for a spot and seek to become a regular or important player.
This is known as formation as a team is technically being formed (we have a squad of 26 with 7 players newly signed thats 27% of the squad being new).
Thus with a high turnover there will be fighting for places and current roles within the squad being unknown, and we have seen clashes on the pitch between players that were even here last year and know eachother etc.
This represents storming.
When players roles become more apparent to everyone such as a strongest 11 and rotational players there will be norming and there will be greater focus on working together and playing as a unit as they all know their roles and eventually comes the performing aspect where it all comes together leading to a string of good results and a turnaround in form as there is very clearly ability in these players as we know.
I conclude that due to just over a quarter squad turnover that soon it will click when Robins, the coaching staff and the players all understand everyone’s roles in the squad we’ll see that togetherness re-emerge and lead to better performance and results
