Yay.
Underwhelming as all hell, but we got there.
Kraev looked lively when he came on which was promising. Zawada is obviously our talisman up top (should have at least got a double tonight though) and I think Sasse was very good in patches as well with some heads up and positive football - was a good outlet and found some good balls through to feet for our guys to get in behind them. Would like to see him take up a more central position or at least drift in centrally more frequently, because he at least looks a threat, whereas coming from wider he seems to drift out of matches for large periods.
Clean sheet is a positive and a confidence boost for our defence after being blown apart by teams in the run in.
Adelaide will be a whole different kettle of fish next week, and they'll be hurting after getting trounced by CCM last night too. But we've got our name in the mix, so I guess we've ultimately achieved what we set out to do at the start of the season.
