The logic of the signings was obvious enough, and the team looks good on paper, it just seems that we failed to factor in the human element.
Most were young players moving to a new country in which some did not speak the language, playing in a league that was faster and more powerful and above all more competitive than anything most of them were used to. And in a squad stripped of leadership and experience.
If anything it is to AVB's credit that he attempted where possible to bleed the new signings into the team slowly.
