READ NOW“We had a light session Tuesday to let the players recover after the game Sunday and Thursday; the boys trained really well,” he said.
“There are no injury concerns and we get Devon Gibson back this week as well as David Stokoe, so competition for places is hotting up.”
Coyne said his players were ready to contest for the premiership after winning its catch up game against Subiaco 3-1 on Sunday.
“The team spirit is fantastic and the boys have recognised how close they are to achieving something so are very determined to try and get the results required,” he said.
“The boys were very good last week and apart from conceding the late goal we have only conceded two in the last five games which is the response I wanted.”
Coyne said it would be a tough game against ECU Joondalup.
“ECU are very good going forward and we need to be mindful of that, but I believe if we can get at their back four we are in with a chance,” he said.
