We had a strong first 10 minutes and the rest of the first half was very ordinary. Mentally and physically we just weren't there, and we only had ourselves to blame for that. The second half was better but the bird had flown by then.
If we come out of those three games on the right side of the ledger it will be a huge plus, and anything could happen then. But if we lose all three it will be an uphill battle we want to avoid that.
Murray is one of those guys you can rely on to come out and give 100 per cent every time he plays, so he's an ideal role model for his team-mates.
They are a very good unit and we will have play right to our potential to beat them.
It's huge for the club when you have that sort of talent competing against each other for places in the side it's going to make the selection process really difficult, but that's the way you want it.
It just so happened we were on the lookout for an aggressive defender and Guiseppe seems to have all the skills required. He's not afraid to go in hard, and he's got good ball skills too. Obviously he is still learning in terms of team structure, but that shouldn't be a problem either.
They (Island Bay) will give us a good indication of what is required to be competitive in this particular league. If we can get a win over them, or even go close to it, it'll be a big boost to the team.
