What Mark Rudan is saying
“Our job is to continue on and to make sure that we’re okay and in a good place.
“They have lost a couple on the trot and we’ve got our tails up and we’re playing some good football.
“You can see in this league it’s always up and down – there’s a lot of inconsistent results.
“We know that they’re looking for a reaction and we have to make sure that we don’t allow that reaction to happen.”

- Alessandro Diamanti has created 10 big scoring chances in the 2020/21 A-League season, the most by any player in the campaign.
