Any changes we see from England this week do not have to be dramatic, and Neville will know that.
His strategy will be to move the team forward in the right direction in the ways I have mentioned but that will not happen in one week and, whatever happens in the US, his overall plan is not going to change.
This is Neville’s first opportunity to work with the girls on the training pitch, and it is his first chance to actually imprint some of the ideas he would like to apply.
England are missing some key players, like captain Steph Houghton through injury, but that is part and parcel of international football. It means someone else gets a chance to impress.
Neville also does not have a permanent assistant coach yet, but he will have Mo Marley and Casey Stoney helping him in the US.
He will get a lot of information and advice about the squad from them, because they know the players better than anyone.
But the majority of ideas that he will be trying to get across to the team will be his own.
The fact he does not know much about the women’s game at the moment is something he can use to his advantage, because he will have no preconceptions about what to expect in this tournament.
He will be able to gauge for himself, with a fresh pair of eyes, where his team are at as a unit and individually, and work out who, what and where he can improve.
