This resonates with me.
Recall much of Vossy's commentary over his tenure being about layering.
That process lends itself to creating a strong suitable foundation. From there you integrate the best the progression brings, and intervene to trim or train the rest. All the while there are many moving parts. Some are static. Some variable. Some controllable, others not so.
I know I repeat this, but consistency is crucial. Any chance we had 22 was eroded by injury when the foundations were still wet. This year may show the aspects of the various layers requiring attention. Therefore adjusting and stabilising takes time. It also causes confusion, breading anxiety for the individual.
Thinking systems, I'm hopeful we've endured the bulk of the instabilities. I'm hopeful our greatest challenge now is to maintain, sustain, and find methods to add those final touches consistently. Then we earn the right to enter the F equation.
Go Blues
If you think about all of his pressers, whilst it sounded repetitive, he was bang on and it all makes sense now. He said things like:
- Go to work on our errors
- Providing the players with a clear picture of what we want to play and look like
He repeated the above over and over and this week, he said that the players now have a clear picture of what it all looks like.
So hopefully, fingers crossed, we have turned the corner and the its all clicked for them.
