The transfer window came and went with Nigel Pearson retaining all his key players for the first half of the 2022/23 season as continuity has proved a key aspect of the manager’s vision for the club.
This summer was the second in succession of relatively minimal first-team business into the club, albeit influenced by the Robins’ financial position, with four through the door, added to the four in 2021, with Timm Klose then signing in the winter.
With moves out of the club for individuals whose contributions were not justifying their wages, that has helped Pearson foster a culture and identity, with players on the same page and fully aware of their roles in the system.
