The intensity levels are better. There’s more of a confidence and belief but that’s only going to come from more results and more performances and being more consistent with what we do. There are certainly certain things that we’ve improved on, but it’s a difficult league, and we came in at a difficult moment, so it was always going to be hard to instantly get those results. I said to the lads after the [United] game that we need to get that performance level at home. That’s the most important thing for us now.
