I think Mitch is as good a keeper as Vukovic who is known for brain fades. In any case Bosnich signed a contract for 6 or 7 weeks only so who is the real back-up goalie at CCM?

Was great to see danny play some great football, i'll admit i gave him abit last year when he wasnt performing, but credit where credit's due he was one of the best on the park last week. two goals, an assit and another cleard off the line after chipping the keeperm hopefully theres much more to come. Was also impressed with fabiano, i really think he's goping to do well at melbourne and when archie is back the think the three of them(and elasi if he gets a go) will form a great partnership up front. Hernandez was great as usual and with his costa rican team mate there next to him i think the middle of the park is looks very solid, would like lopez to keep the ball on target, shooting does not at this stage seem to be his forte. At the back, well i really dont see us conceding to many goals this year, thwaite, vargas, muscat and theo between the sticks, only the best teams and strickers are gonna make those boys look bad. And then we still have some players to come back, the depth in the squad this year is definately there, things are looking very promising indeed, cant wait for newcastle tomz night, hope you can all make it:) Was a very good result, considering were we away and the conditions were terrible we managed to play a good passing game and i think looked threatening in attack.

He can't really be faulted for either of the goals. Not sure about best back-up in the league though, with Central Coast Mariners just signing Bosnich!

We would take that every week if it was on offer. Great to see Danny score early in the season. Good for his confidence. And a super goal by Fabiano. Mitch looked safe in goal and is probably the best no.2 keeper in the league. The squad has real depth this year which was lacking last season and it should be relatively easy to cover injuries during the season. Lets hope for a confident display on Friday night and a good win against the Jets. I'm predicting 2:0 with Hernandez to get on the score sheet ... GO Victory!

Good to see him and Ney Fabiano starting to link well and a great touch from Fabiano for his goal. Things are starting to shape up nicely and the confidence from this win is valuable after last week's goal-less draw. Great to see Brebner finally back on the pitch too, he may not be match fit and lack sharpness at the moment but his experience has been missed. Hopefully there won't be the injuries and suspensions like last year which will allow a settled midfield to link what is starting to look like a solid defence with a potent attack. Having Archie and Nick Ward yet to come back is a nice selection headache to have =) Pretty atrocious conditions on the pitch, which played their part in our first two goals, and the second did look offside but credit to Danny Allsopp for his composure.
