“They should have taken a lot of confidence from their performance (against Perth) both as a group and individually.

Coyne said his side needed to score more goals.
“I know that sounds simple but we are too nice and need to be more ruthless when we have good possession and are dominating teams,” he said.
“Sorrento is top of the table and has been scoring a lot of goals so expect a tough hard battle.
“They have good quality in wide areas and proven goal scorers through the team.”
