We were 7 games without a point and it was end to end stuff. Dean's obviously told them to sit a little deeper and not allow Keogh or Ikonomidis in behind. Which meant their only weapon was Bruno, who we doubled up on. Simple tactics.

Wed made the attacking change with Yuel coming on. That gave us 2 speedy forwards either side of Roy to get at them on the counter with 3 CMs to block the centre of the pitch. Abbas was only brought on for fresh legs and we know he only has 10-20 mins on them at full pace. Krasniqi sits on the ball too long and could have cost us big time if he lost it close to our goal.

This was one of Dean's better games as coach IMO. Got a point against a Perth side who will likely shoot back up the table now they have their frontline sorted. Losing to Victory obviously knocked a few players heads around I'd hope, this is something to build off of.
No way we should be fighting for the top, but I want us to show a bit of heart - or promise of what might come next year.

The interplay that drew the penalty was by far our best passage of the night.

But by god, we need to overhaul the midfield.
