I'm wondering the exact same thing. Not sure we're the second best team in the league, its seems to be more that everyone other than Brisbane hasn't been consistent enough this season.
It must be really bad below us because we've had 2 wins in 5 matches and put on a margin....

Its a testament to how even the league is, teams can race up the table when they hit a good run of results.

It will be amazing if we can hold this spot, I still see some upside in this season, Contreras might be slowly adapting and Rogic could turn it on any minute.
Last night I got the feeling we were just conserving energy for as long as possible, then when we conceded we had to have a crack.

Lottery isn't it. any team can beat anyone on the day. Except Perth... they're rubbish

and they almost shared our points!
we have so much talent but must maintain and hold.
Can we hold on this time?
Both sets of supporters making fantastic noise!

I think we are playing better this time. Each game we've improved. Is that really Contreras or has he got a good twin that we've brought over? Geria is looking better the last 2 ACL games. Missed most of Perth game so not sure how he went.
YOU LITTLE RIPPER!!!

Awesome result and easily could have been 3-0
Now to pray that Guangzhou take all three against Jeonbuk
Really like Jeggo's performance and the midfield three with a false nine instead of the dual 10s. Also props where props are due, Leijer played a very good game coming back from injury and of course Barbarouses was great on the counter.

Great win!!
Can't figure what I'm more happy about, the win or the fact we finally kept a clean sheet!
and that linesman ffs!!! Someone should tell him to get his eyes tested tomorrow.. Jesus horrible calls.

Just back from the game. Huge win!
They were very fit and systematic and overran us in the 2nd half, but we managed to hang on.
Barbarouses put the ball in the net 3 times. Not sure how good/bad the offside calls were because we were behind the goals?

First one was deff onside or at least equal, second one was more iffy but should have gotten the benefit of the doubt.
I heard that all the offside calls were correct, apart from one which was a bit tight? (Couldn't tell as I was at the game)
Couldn't see us winning and certainly couldn't see us doing so while keeping a clean sheet. Gutsy performance by the boys given the opposition, the hectic schedule etc.
Was it just me or did Yokohama attack almost exclusively down Geria's side? I know that teams generally attack down his side as he is clearly weaker than Traore at LB, but tonight it seemed that literally almost every attack was directed down Geria's side!

Barba's 2nd goal he was definitely level. The 3rd one was borderline. Yep every attack or 99% of them were to Geria's side and I thought the kid did a sensational job.
Pretty good win considering we had no Traore or Ansell and Milligan & Rogic both coming off the pine.

Thomas had an excellent game too. Some excellent saves and better distribution than usual too.
Great stuff last three games a big Plus, looks like Kev has backed Thomas as number one and is improving every game after I had doubts about the lad.
I feel bad for Coe if Thomas takes over.
That pretty well means that Coe = Glen Moss.

Thomas is showing improvement as he eases into the role. Still tends to double punch some balls he should be taking, but he's keeping them out of the net at least.
