Josef Zinnbauer, the Pirates coach, believes that his side is on the right path following their victory over SuperSport.
 
"We have a strong squad at the moment but we need a little time, we saw it," Zinnbauer said.
 
"The new players we cannot work with each other in the last two weeks, the international players was not here.
