Crystal Palace forward Cameron Jerome has insisted that the team can improve on their current form in the Premier League if they learn how to "gel".

The Eagles are in 19th place in the table after picking up three points from their opening five matches.

"It is all a new process for us, we have got so many new players and stuff like that," Sky Sports News quotes Jerome as saying.

"It is just finding the right ingredients and getting that understanding together. We have got to do that sooner rather than later.

"It is just about us gelling together. That is not an excuse but all these little factors do add up."

Jerome joined Palace on a season-long loan deal from Stoke City earlier this month.
