With a squad that is still gelling together, I fully expect to get games when things click together, and games when they don't.

When our set up works well against a particular opposition, we seem to have excellent players (game against Jets is a case in point). When we get taken to the cleaners, we seem to suddenly have a team full of no-hopers (against WSW?).  The truth lies somewhere in the middle. 

To beat a good opposition it helps if your team has that special chemistry that comes from a season of playing together. We do not have that, and we also played in a different (slightly) lineup than against the Jets and Brisbane. 

I have no issue with a loss against WSW, it could have easily stayed at 0:1 or even 1:1 if luck was with us. It wasn't to be.

As I said, drawing against Brisbane showed our weakness - we should have buried them in the first 2o minutes.

I think Ernie summed it up pretty well - I don't think this is a team that can come back from a 1 or 2 goal deficit. We are good when we scrape a goal and defend like our lives depend on it. Unfortunately, without a proper no.9 and Krishna shouldering most of the burden, I think we are going to really struggle to score this year.
