nd defensive end Quanzell Lambert suffered season-ending injuri

He reckons Western Sydney are playing better football than this time last season, but coach Tony Popovic says the revamped team remain well short of their A-League potential.The Wanderers blew a two-goal lead against Newcastle on Sunday, held to a draw in their first outing at temporary home ground Spotless Stadium.Popovic couldnt put his finger on why such a cohesive first half gave way to fragmented play that allowed Newcastle to capitalise, but was adamant there was still much work to be done if the leagues youngest outfit are to reach a fourth grand final in five years.Were nowhere near the level that we want the team to be, Popovic said.In the end they kept coming, and credit to them, but we certainly game them a chance.We werent good enough in our play in that last 30 minutes. Well get stronger, we know we will. Its a work in progress, regardless of the result.Well get more match fit and more cohesive, but we looked a very good team in the first half so thats probably ahead of where we were last year in terms of our football.Popovic absolved goalkeeper Andrew Redmayne of blame for two mistakes that directly led to late Jets goals for Nigel Boogaard and Andrew Hoole.First, Redmayne was caught adrift when Hooles free-kick allowed Boogaard to head home.Then the gloveman was booked for racing from his box to foul Morten Nordstrand before fumbling Hooles subsequent free-kick over the line and negating first-half goals to Aritz Borda and new captain Dimas.Mistakes happen in football, Popovic said.Nine times out of 10 its how goals are scored.He was less happy with speedy Jumpei Kusukami. despite the Japanese wingers standout display.I actually dont think he was that good, Popovic said.I dont think in the second half he played anywhere near what hes been able to do, which is a good sign for us.We see glimpses of what he can do daily which will happen once we get more match fit and more cohesive.A crowd of 13,247 turned out to watch the Wanderers in their first match at the oval-shaped AFL venue.The atmosphere was good when you consider its an AFL ground, Popovic said.The pitch was great to play on.The fans go home disappointed but bit by bit weve to try and make sure this is a fortress as much as Parramatta was.Cheap NHL Jerseys From China .
