Let's be honest about this. I've watched the Roar's 4 games prior to this and Young is very much a goalkeeper in top form. He has single handedly kept the Roar in on each of those games. Fair credit to the man. We hit the post twice. and yes we should have been at least 3 up in that first half. What did impress me was how we never gave up and or dropped away. In the years of past, when getting sucker punched heads have dropped and we've given up the ghost. Not this team. It's good to see.

Agreed, the self-belief is at a different level to what we remember from just a few seasons back.

In some ways I am quietly impressed with our back four as it shapes up now, as opposed to how it looked with Dura leading it (in the post-Sigmund years). I see a different mentality (no panic), and good skills, slowly taking hold which I did not see in previous years after Siggy retired.

In some ways I am quietly impressed with out back four as it is now, as apposed to how it was with Dura leading it. I see a different mentality taking hold which was not present to this extent previously.
