And that's what Sydney FC have been bringing in these Past Few Weeks. It's great to see the revive in Performance due to a Great Coach and a Team now believing that they can go all the Way. And to think, at the Beginning of the Season, I though I was going to see Mariners & Victory Dominated Season.

Sydney FC confident of minor premiership
January 2, 2008 - 5:40PM

Sydney FC believe they have the winning feeling brewing in their side again and are confident they can claim the A-League minor premiership.

Battling to avoid the wooden spoon when coach John Kosmina took over in late October, Sydney are now within striking distance of league leaders Queensland Roar and Central Coast to be just three points behind with three rounds remaining.

In third place on 27 points, Sydney could jump to top spot on the table with a victory in Friday night's game against seventh-placed Wellington Phoenix in New Zealand.

Speaking after training attended by co-owner Anthony LaPaglia, who showed off his goal-keeping skills, veteran Steve Corica said a run of good results had boosted his side and that they were back to their heyday form when they won the 2005 title.

"It's just a different feeling but I think of late the last two or three games we've got that winning feeling again," Corica said.

"It's brewing in the dressing room and it's a good feeling.

"There's obviously a few differences - Yorky (Dwight Yorke) is not here, but we've got a couple of the younger players which are coming through now doing well like Brendan Santalab and also Adam (Biddle)."

Kosmina labelled Friday's game a "must win", ahead of remaining matches against Queensland and Melbourne, and warned the Phoenix still had a lot to play for with three rounds remaining.

But he said Sydney could "definitely" win the title and that his side were in top form.

Sydney have risen from sixth to third under Kosmina, winning five games, three draws and one loss to bottom-placed Perth.

"The results have been good for us except the Perth aberration we had a few weeks ago," Kosmina said of the round 17 match, in which Sydney were defeated 4-2.

"We need to make sure we don't have one of them again before the season finishes.

"Wellington's going to be a tough game, it's one that we need to come back with three points in the bag.

"We can't afford to lose another match."

He added that any of the top six could still make the finals - and possibly even Wellington.

Kosmina said his side had backed up well from the Adelaide match, despite the hard pitch and searing temperatures.

Marquee player Juninho will again start from the bench but Kosmina said he was confident with the Brazilian's progress.

"Juni's had a good hard week and hopefully he can come off the bench against Wellington on Friday night and set up a win for us or be part of a win for us," Kosmina said.

Meanwhile, Mark Robertson (hamstring) will still be out, as will Mark Milligan whose toe injury has worsened and Michael Bridges (virus).

New Socceroo squad member Ufuk Talay has been recalled after his one-game suspension to replace Milligan.

"Millsy has some bruising on his big toe out of the last game and there is a risk he could cause further damage so we don't want to risk that with him," he said.

"If he does more damage that could be the end of his season and we need him for the big games over the next few weeks."

The side is also boosted with four players - Ufuk Talay, Clint Bolton, Alex Brosque and Steve Corica - today selected for the Socceroos squad ahead of the 2010 World Cup qualification campaign that kicks off against Qatar in February.

Lets hope that Confidence doesn't turn into a choke half-Way into the Finals. The Team not only has to keep up the Attack but also maintain a Strict yet Powerful Defence.

 

[meldog]

BRING MICHAEL BRIDGES BACK INTO THE SIDE.

he is class.
at least put him on the bench.
kosmina's a ***** if he bridgey doesnt even get to play his last his last game against the melbourne tards.

 

[Hansta]

y change something thats not broken? all the balls have been putting in 110% it wont b fair 4 the player being dropped for bridges. but i understand were ur coming from. he is a top player who would still b in our team if he didnt get sick

 

[xeno]

If sydney's defence keeps leaking, they're in trouble in the finals

 

[Hansta]

this is gonna b interesting. CC just lost to newcastle meaning CC and newcastle on 31 points each with Qld and Sydney FC on 30. If qld and syndey both draw it would mean with a round left we will have a four way tie for the final round lol. Hope Sydney wins lol cuz they take on Melbourne next week which wont b easy.

 

[Hansta]

lol 0-0 between sydney and queensland. hopefuly adelaide can win or at least get a draw against qld, and for sydney to beat melbourne at home.

BTW Sydney set a new record of 10 away games without defeat. Congrats.

Wow, looks like Kosmina is the best Coach to date in the A-League and thanks to him, Sydney FC remain the only club not to miss the Finals in the A-League's 3-Year History.

Great to see Juninho back in the starting side....

It's a much more experienced side for the Melbourne match, and I think that's a good thing, if it doesn't work, we still have Biddle and Santalab on the bench... so for nerves and understanding of the Victory, I think Kossie picked the right sort of team.

It should be a great match on Sunday.. even though it's raining, as long as it doesn't wash out, get your rain gear on and get out to the SFS... because it's going to be something special.

I am so glad I have tickets to this match and perhaps see Sydney become minor premiers...IT'S SYDNEY FC FOR ME..

 

[Hansta]

Sydney to win 3-1, CC win 1-0 and qld draw meaning Sydney minor premiers and another shot at the asian champ league (fingers crossed)

 

[80fic...]

WooHoo. CC back on top. Even if it's only for one night

Sydney out of the race for top spot

Sydney FC squandered a chance of claiming the A-League minor premiership following a 2-2 draw with Melbourne Victory at the Sydney Football Stadium on Saturday.

The home side entered the final round of the regular season level with Newcastle, Central Coast and Queensland but after the Jets and Mariners both posted victories this weekend, the 2005-06 champions needed a comprehensive win if they were to enter the finals in top spot.

The draw means Sydney FC will play off in the minor semi-final while Queensland - who play away to Adelaide United on Sunday evening - still have a hope of securing the minor premiership.

Sydney FC gave themselves the best possible start with seasoned veteran Steve Corica opening the scoring within five minutes of kick-off.

The 1-0 lead was held through to half-time before the Victory equalised via an own goal to Sydney's Mark Milligan in the early stages of the second term.

Milligan's mistake was seemingly rectified in the 61st minute when Alex Brosque goaled following some neat lead-up work from former Brazilian international Juninho to establish a 2-1 advantage.

But the defending premiers, out of the race for the finals series, still wanted to have their say on who plays who in the play-offs and they levelled again when Danny Allsopp beat Sydney goalkeeper Clint Bolton to find the back of the net.

Sydney tried desperately to find a winner and they came close prior to injury time when the Victory were forced to clear an effort in front of goal.
