Assistant boss Gus Poyet told the club's official website: "It's about togetherness, being together and working together as a group.
"The new players are settling in and getting to know each other and this will help.
"We are coming up to the last three months of a big season and this will help everyone."
A friendly match against Cypriot outfit Ethnikos Achna is also planned for Wednesday, January 24 (KO 5pm local time).
Ethnikos, based in the village of Achna, became the first Cypriot team to qualify for the UEFA Cup via the Intertoto Cup in 2006.
