“It takes time for the team to gel and we used this break profitably because the players worked together for at least a longer period of time where we played friendly matches and worked on a few combinations.'

The winless newcomers have struggled to adapt to the challenges of the DStv Premiership since owner Masala Mulaudzi bought the status of 99-year-old Wits for an undisclosed fee in June‚ and Masutha conceded that the time away from the daily pressure of domestic football was welcome relief."You know that we have just assembled a new team and unfortunately had to start the season five days after assembling the [side]‚” he said.

"I am happy with our combinations having played a few friendly matches because there are improvements. "They are experienced players and it won’t take them long to gel with the other guys. I can say that we are in a better situation than before the Fifa break.” In their three matches in the league‚ TTM drew with TS Galaxy and Mamelodi Sundowns but lost to Swallows FC.As one of the three teams yet to register a win in the league this season‚ Masutha said they will gun for the maximum points when they host provincial rivals Baroka FC in the Limpopo derby at Thohoyandou Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
