Lowe’s philosophy has begun to show familiar signs of effectiveness
The Englishman does not care if his team fail to play with the swagger of Ange Postecoglou’s Brisbane Roar. This is a results-driven business, and Lowe is the ultimate realist.
Certain sections of the media had criticised Perth and Lowe in particular for a direct, physical style last season, but it would do the squad a disservice to forget that this very philosophy saw the team top of the A-League table prior to the salary cap controversy.
After Millar’s equaliser, Perth responded emphatically, eventually putting the game to bed with 20 minutes remaining. It is a result that will undoubtedly boost the confidence within the squad – a second-straight FFA Cup final awaits against the winner of Hume City and Melbourne Victory next Wednesday night.
