Coach Kenny Lowe has played down Perths dramatic three-goal capitulation to Central Coast as magnificent entertainment, but expects his A-League teams errors not to be repeated against Wellington on Sunday.Glory were handed a timely opening-round wake-up call when the battling Mariners fought back from 3-0 to draw 3-3 last weekend.Lowes men were left to rue an own goal, a conceded penalty and a series of missed chances in the second half as their initially comfortable defence was left exposed.But while his players were hurting, their coach wasnt overly fazed.I wouldnt even class it as a wake-up call, Lowe said.The first 45 minutes was some of the best football Ive ever seen from the team, so as far as Im concerned I look at the positives.Im a glass half full not a glass half empty man.At the end of the day it was magnificent entertainment.Lowe indicated hed keep faith with his back four, but admitted the conceded goals were poor and there was no room for the same mistakes against a strengthened Phoenix.Ernie Merricks side make the long-haul trip to nib Stadium boosted by five returning All Whites, all sorely missed in their opening 1-0 loss to Melbourne City.In particular, skipper Andrew Durante will shore up central defence while Kosta Barbarouses could prove the difference up front.They played one of the best teams last week and could have got something out of that, Lowe said.Theyre going to be no pushovers, theyll be well-organised and well-coached by Ernie.Does the long flight and everything affect the All Whites? I guess well find out after the game.Michael McGlinchey will be managed carefully - if he plays it will be his third game in eight days after the workhorse midfielder completed 90 minutes against both Mexico and the US.Perth striker Adam Taggart is unlikely to join Andy Keogh up front after pulling up sore from his two-goal effort against the Mariners, while defender Shane Lowry (hip) is still out of contention.STATS THAT MATTER:* Wellington have lost five games on the bounce, six would mark their longest-ever A-League losing run* The Phoenix have won their last two matches in Perth, their best ever run against Glory* Perth havent won in three games and have gone six without keeping a clean sheetWholesale Rangers Jerseys .

I think theres some attitude issues right now, Grobe said. Its not anything major. Its not. ... If I throw out violation of team rules and all that, that sends everybody off thinking the worst. But hes just not been himself. Hes not really been as focused as I think he needs to be, and hes in a tough situation.Hes in a really good rotation with running backs right now, and youve got to be on top of your game. Things are not good right now. I just want to help him get his focus back.Grobe said sophomore Terence Williams is his starting running back and that Williams and JaMycal Hasty deserved the opportunity to get the majority of carries.

And thats what happened, he said.Grobe said he believes the mentality within the program needs to be total focus on their final four games, starting with a road game at Oklahoma on Saturday.My problem is I want to focus on 100-plus great kids, and I dont think we can do that if were fighting other battles right now, Grobe said. You want your perspective to be known -- I understand that -- but I think if we have any hope to play together as a family and as a football team, weve got to focus on that right now. Thats been my message. Thats what Im hopeful we can get to.Grobe has issued suspensions to six Baylor players since August.In addition to Linwood, wide receiver Ishmael Zamora served a three-game suspension for animal abuse, safety Chance Waz was suspended two games for discipline issues and kicker Chris Callahan and cornerback Jordan Tolbert were sat out one game for a sideline incident.
