David Bentley feels Tottenham are turning a corner after their "shocking" start to the season.
Spurs are currently preparing for their UEFA Cup Group D game at Udinese as they look for a positive result following a poor start to the term.
Juande Ramos' charges are currently bottom of the Premier League table, without a win in their opening eight matches.
And Bentley has given a forthright verdict of the club's start to the campaign, admitting the players struggled to gather an understanding of their roles.
"It's been difficult out on the pitch," Bentley said.
"We've not been together. We didn't know where people were running, what people were doing. It's been a difficult start. I wasn't enjoying it. It's been shocking, it's been a bit s**t.
"We are slowly starting to get settled and people are becoming more confident."

spurs.a lot @#$%.
give him time and bentley will come good as will the spurs team. enjoy your jokes, it wont last forever. spurs are gonna hit back.
Innit, Lee's a blatant Plank
lee :not every one on this forum is english you f*cking @#$%
Why cant those crappy arse fans stick to thier club?????
I think its called a 'typo' Lee.
Godforbid that someone made a mistake!
It annoys me when someone comes on here and creats a post because of a spelling error!
Lee must have a well exciting life!
I think that is a valid point eh son?
hello
All u arse fans GO @#$% URSELVES,
I'm an Arsenal supporter, but it would be a sad loss if tottenham were relegated, we'd lose the North London Derby. One of the all time rivalry's wouldnt happen. Half the fun is from the banter that comes between you and your mates at these games. Sure Arsenal lost 5-1 last season but thats what its all about, bit of pressure, bit of excitement!!
I hope they turn it around to stay in the Premier division
Coming from a die-hard Arsenal supporter...I would absolutely LOVE IT, if Totenham were relegated and then went bankrupt, similiar to Leeds!! Ha ha!! Go on you gooners... great game in Istanbul!!

I'm an Arsenal fan and as much as I would like to weigh into Spurs I would rather see something Intelligible on this forum. 'Just deserves'....I think you'll find that's 'desserts'. People, please go away and retake your english exams and then maybe we can have an intelligent conversation! I'm fed up of reading absolute rubbish on here, I really am. Someone please make a valid point!!
spurs are **** and they will be in a relegation dogfight this season
Bentley ? OVERATED / OVERPAID / OVERHIPED.
PLEASE RETURN TO BLACBURN ?
IT HAS BEEN A LONG SEASON / HE MUST BE TIRED ?
HE DESERVES A REST POOR LAD / HE MUST NEVER BE FORGIVEN FOR LETTING THE ENGLAND UNDER 21 DOWN / WHAT A LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSER ?
been a BIT s**t? more always aload of s**t
fingers crossed they stay s**t deserve nothing more after their carling cup win... fed up with hearing about it and glad they got their just deserves!
yeah! spurs performance are surely disappointing!! seriously, when someone hear the name "spurs", what do you think the reaction will be??? surely like this, " oh!! that club is surely hopeless"
Arsenal through and through. That's why he can't play for the @#$% side of Spurs
