Bruce must be patient
Steve Bruce accepts that his January purchases will need time to settle at Wigan.[LNB] During a busy New Year transfer window for the Latics chief he saw his squad undergo an uncharacteristic overhaul.[LNB]Emile Heskey and Wilson Palacios were offloaded to Aston Villa and Tottenham respectively, while Colombian striker Hugo Rodallega, Egypt international Mido, Crystal Palace midfielder Ben Watson and Newcastle's disgruntled full-back Charles N'Zogbia were all brought in to the JJB Stadium.[LNB]All four of the new boys were on show at some stage during Saturday's insipid 0-0 draw with Fulham and Bruce admits his side lacked cohesion as a result of the numerous changes in personnel.[LNB]"We will be better in a couple of weeks - I hope," said Bruce.[LNB]"What I will say is all the changes we have made - and we have made too many - they are only young and will get better.[LNB]Training"With a bit of training and getting used to their new surroundings, they will be okay."[LNB]Bruce was pleased, however, with the performances of Rodallega and N'Zogbia - who were making their first starts for the club.[LNB]"I thought it was a difficult one for Charles, because of all the changes we made - but you could see in flashes of what we have got," added the Latics boss.[LNB]"Rodallega has also shown flashes. Ideally I should maybe have left him on the bench for him to come on and give us a spark.[LNB]"He is clever, and when he gets up to speed I'm sure he'll be a very good player for us."[LNB]
