It will take at least a round or two more before the tables will begin to take a realistic shape.
It is therefore difficult to describe any result as being a ?shock? or a ?surprise? just yet because the teams are still settling in to their pattern of play and trying to gain some genuine confidence in their style and approach to each game.
There were one-hundred-and-four goals scored in the twenty-nine matches played on Saturday and that has to be regarded as entertainment-plus for all concerned.
