Ska'd, I disagree, in order to produce the final ball or the killer final ball we need to produce some first balls, maybe a second ball or two and even some balls in between first. Eight points from five games isn't a bad return although we have many tougher games still to come.

TP says it will take about 6 weeks for the team to gel and perform .......  difficult watching ahead.

I know you can't compare the quality in the squads, but how come Man City don't take six weeks to gel and perform? One point from Brighton and West Ham is pathetic, and the performances were even worse.

Over the last few years this "team needs time to gel" excuse has become prevalent among managers whose sides are not performing!! You can just imagine the same managers saying the same thing every day to the chairman as well, just to make sure the message sinks in!! It also seems to be used by teams that have only one or two new players!!!
